In order to understand how to use the example system, other assumptions must be made concerning your knowledge and concerning security systems for the example system.
Your knowledge
There is an assumption that you know about z/OS®, DFSMSdfp, TSO, and RACF®, a component of the Security Server for z/OS.
Under this assumption, if you are told to perform an action related to these products, you know how to perform that action without a discussion being necessary.
Security systems
So that you can be shown
what DFSMShsm does in relation to all types of data set protection,
it is assumed that the example system provides the following:
- RACF or equivalent security system
- Expiration date protection for tapes
