New RACF resource to block the command “SETIOS HYPERSWAP” only

Description:

The Itau bank has 2 very large Sysplexes Bank and Cards.

Both environments have the GDPS 4.3 MGM with hyperswap active.

This RFE is to request a specific RACF resource only to block the command “SETIOS HYPERSWAP”, nowadays there is only a general RACF resource MVS.SETIOS.IOS used to block the entire SETIOS command.

Use case:

New RACF resource to block specific command “SETIOS HYPERSWAP”

Business justification:

The Itau bank has a large GDPS environment and the command SETIOS HYPERSWAP can’t be opened to be run in a production environment.
