Data Set Selection Profiles

Data set selection profiles provide the z/OS security administrator the ability to encrypt tape data sets based solely on resource definitions. These profiles are defined and maintained in the external security manager's CA@BES resource class.

When defining data set selection profiles, CA Tape Encryption gives you the flexibility of defining either fully-qualified, discrete, or generic data set names. When defining a generic data set profile, you should use the same pattern masking rules unique to CA ACF2, CA Top Secret or IBM Security Server RACF.
