To apply RACF® protection to DFSMShsm processing, you must add DFSMShsm (a started procedure) to the RACF started-procedures table. You do this by creating a user ID for the DFSMShsm startup procedure and entering that user ID and the DFSMShsm startup procedure name into the RACF started-procedures table.

The DFSMShsm startup procedure in the member DFSMShsm in SYS1.PROCLIB provides the start procedure for the DFSMShsm primary address space. This procedure has system-generated JOB statements that do not contain the USER, GROUP, or PASSWORD parameters.

Before you begin: In a RACF environment, you must do the following before starting the DFSMShsm address space:

1. Create a RACF user ID for DFSMShsm.
2. Update the RACF started-procedure table with the name and ID of the DFSMShsm startup procedure.

If you are using aggregate backup and recovery support (ABARS), you must also:

1. Create a RACF user ID for ABARS.
2. Update the RACF started-procedure table with the name and ID of the ABARS startup procedure.
