The objective for DFSMSrmm RACF tape security support is to provide a complete interface with RACF for tapes so you can use any combination of valid DEVSUPxx or RACF options, including use of any RACF installation exits you still have. You can tell DFSMSrmm not to provide any RACF support by specifying the DFSMSrmm EDGRMMxx parmlib OPTION TPRACF(N) command. You can set up the type of processing wanted by requesting automatic TPRACF(A), predefined TPRACF(P), or TPRACF(C) RACF profiles. You can also use the DFSMSrmm EDGRMMxx parmlib VLPOOL RACF command to provide control of RACF at the pool level.

DFSMSrmm provides support for using the system TAPEAUTHDSN and TAPEAUTHF1 options and the RACF standard tape volume security protection with any combination of RACF TAPEVOL and TAPEDSN options.
