Issue/Introduction

Which CA Datacom utilities require dataset security (RACF, Top Secret or ACF2) update access to database files in the utility address space?

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : CA DATACOM/DB

Resolution

Most DBUTLTY functions now run under the MUF but some can still run in single user mode. See the documentation section Utility Function Summary 

The functions with a Y in the SU column can run in single user mode or under MUF control.

Currently these are: BACKUP EXTRACT INIT LOAD RESET RXXFIX

Those that can run in single use mode will need dataset security update access to the database files in the DBUTLTY address space if using parameter MULTUSE=NO.

VLSUTIL will need dataset security update access to the VLS files when doing a FORMAT and RESTORE. 

DDUPDATE runs under the MUF.
