Security relating to IBM PTF UJ90004 And Top Secret

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

IBM PTF UJ90004 has a HOLD action that states the following:

"Do not define the SAF FACILITY class resource STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.DATASET.SEQ.ENCRYPT until all systems in your  installation have installed the PTFs for OA56622, the PTFs for all other required APARs, and the minimum hardware. "              

Does the absence of a distinct profile in Top Secret for STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.DATASET.SEQ.ENCRYPT mean it is OK to install PTF UJ90004? 

Note there is a profile STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.DATASET.ENCRYPT but not STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.DATASET.SEQ.ENCRYPT.

Environment

Release : ALL

Component : Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

Before applying the IBM PTF, ensure Top Secret PTF SO15753 is applied.
