Setting up allocation authority

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

    If you have RACF® Version 2 Release 1 installed, use the STARTED general resource class to associate the caller or DUMPSRV with a user ID. For this step, the RACF started procedures table, ICHRIN03, must have a generic entry.

    If you have an earlier version of RACF, use the RACF started procedures table, ICHRIN03.

  2. Authorize caller's or DUMPSRV 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 caller's user ID within that group.
