Programming requirements

Because ANTTREXX invokes the ANTRQST API, the authorization and system requirements are the same for ANTTREXX as they are for ANTRQST.

The user identifier found in the ACEEUSRI field of the ACEE is used for all access authorization checking. This user identifier must have read access to a RACF® profile in the FACILITY class:

For FlashCopy and Global Mirror requests, the ANTMAIN address space must be active. For XRC and PPRC requests, the ANTAS000 address space must be active.

SDM API does not provide any data management services, such as allocation or cataloging of data sets. To copy data sets where these services are needed (such as accessing data sets on target devices), use a data set copy program such as DFSMSdss.
