Software installation: Dataset restore w/o CB.** RACF dataset profile

Today, the use of z/OSMF software management for the installation of z/OS requires, that CB.** RACF data set profiles are defined. Our RACF rules only allow RACF userids with corresponding dataset profiles that are actively used. For a successful z/OS installation, we suggest the following ways to circumvent this issue: 1.) Use of ADRDSSUwith addition parameter ADMINISTRATOR 2.) Similar to CPAC dialogue: ALLOCATE zFS, MOUNT zFS, UNIX PAX

    z/OSMF Software Management has been updated with the PTFs for APAR PH56073 to create portable software instances (PSWIs) that no longer require SAF READ authorization to the originating data set names during deployment. The PTFs are available on October 18, 2023. The IBM ServerPac production process will exploit this new capability, to produce PSWIs that do not require READ authorization to the originating data set names such as CB.** starting in December 2023. Therefore, starting in December 2023, SAF READ authorization to data set name patterns CB.** will no longer be required to install IBM software.
