COPY BYPASSACS (DFSMSdss)

The COPY BYPASSACS command has three conditions:

The target data set already exists
The target data is preallocated (allocated but empty)
The target data is created by the DFSMSdss COPY job

The data is copied from either a backup copy or another data set to the target data set. If a storage class is assigned, the data is then copied into a system-managed target data set. Otherwise it is copied into a non-system-managed target data set.

The data class, storage class, and management class ACS routines are not invoked because the BYPASSACS keyword is coded in the DFSMSdss COPY job.

The storage class ACS routine is invoked only if it is specified in the DFSMSdss COPY job.

The storage group ACS routine is invoked only if SC is specified in the DFSMSdss COPY job, or if the data set is system-managed.

Requirement: You need RACF® authorization to use the BYPASSACS keyword. The storage or security administrator must define BYPASSACS to RACF as a facility and then tell RACF who is authorized to use it.
