Data Lookaside Facility Security

Under release 3.1.3 and above of MVS/ESA, an additional feature called the Data Lookaside Facility (DLF) was added to control the loading of selected data sets into ESA hiperspaces by selected jobs. With the proper authority and keywords, CA Top Secret can identify and control those data sets and jobs, which are eligible for DLF.

For a description of the DLF Record (which maintains a list of data sets and jobnames eligible for DLF processing), the associated keywords, and the authority needed to maintain this record, see the Command Functions Guide.

See the Implementation: BATCH and STC Guide for an in-depth discussion of all BATCH security features.
