Setting up allocation authority

To allocate dump data sets automatically, the DUMPSRV address space must have authority to allocate new data sets. Do the following:
  1. Associate the DUMPSRV address space with a user ID.

    Use the RACF® STARTED general resource class or the RACF Started Procedures Table, ICHRIN03, to associate DUMPSRV with a user id.

  2. Authorize DUMPSRV's user ID to create new dump data sets using the naming convention in the following topic.

    With the high-level qualifier of SYS1, the data sets are considered group data sets. You can assign CREATE group authority to the DUMPSRV user ID within that group.

See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for information about the RACF STARTED general resource class, and the RACF Started Procedures Table. See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for information on using the RACF STARTED general resource class, and on controlling creation of new data sets.
