When JES2 reloads the information from an offload data set, it performs any security validation necessary (similar to reading a job into the system or receiving a network SYSOUT data set) before writing the data to spool by checking the RACF® JESJOBS class for reloaded jobs and the RACF NODES class. When RACF performs the NODES class check, if the node associated with the data is in &RACLNDE, RACF accepts the data.

OFFn.JR     for jobs
OFFn.SR     for SYSOUT

As with offload, JES2 calls RACF to ensure the operator starting the reload operation has sufficient authority to issue the commands.

Attention: When using security labels, data offloaded from a JES2 SP3.1.3 or later member reloaded to a pre-SP3.1.3 member could cause a security exposure because the pre-SP3.1.3 member cannot validate security labels.

When reloading a data set that was offloaded on this node, the name of the node must be defined in &RACLNDE.
