Resolution

SARBKT is the subtask for SARSTC started task that performs backup cycle which backs reports up to tape.

SARCIST is the subtask for SAREAS that reads View backup tapes as part of our direct viewing from tape feature.

Other View utilities that will access tape are SARPAC, SARTCP, and SARTDR.

The client will have to provide permissions for the indicated RMM resource for generic system access to tapes by these View programs.

More details can be found in Setting the level of access for the DFSMSrmm resources

Client was instructed to consult their security administrator for those permissions.
