I would suggest that you open a SR with IBM SDSF on this question. There may
be something easier to maintain.
IBM SDSF support is very helpful.

If you are a customer of SecureAgent and have their virutal tape product (which

Neither me, because the OP said he used both ISFPRMxx and RACF.

Indeed. You're probably referring to GROUP, IFIELDS, ISTATUS statements
Might do a search on SHARE Seattle SDSF session
Hopefully you get a hit on 16604. It's a well done user presentation on
SDSF.
While it probably doesn't answer all question it's got a hot index on pg 82
that will take you just about everywhere you need to go with SDSF. 'cept
maybe JES3.
IMHO it won't work.
PSP bucket contains PTFs, while exploitation support is web
deliverable and it's new FMID.
Not to mention neither z990 PSP bucket nor the web deliverable contains
support for new (then) crypto.

Hi Lizette,
There have been some great appends to this question. I also wanted to add my
two cents...

To your point. Anything we do with ABARS or DFDSS dumps will most likely be

To harden the data to make the backup useful would require an outage in some
cases.
So I appreciate everyone's input. There is a lot to

Shalom Gadi,
What you need is Table Build Exit (see SDSF installation customization
guide for details). in short, it get control on every row in a table
display and can remove row from the table. from my experience it have a low
overhead as it got control after all filters are executed. Hope

Yes. You can do that by owner or by jobname.
You've got good replies. What are you using for security? RACF, ESM or ISFPRMxx?
Groete / Greetings
Elardus Engelbrecht
Shalom Gadi,
What do you mean by seeing? do you want to prevent the job from be listed
in SDSF if the user is not authorized to, or just limit the user to view
jobs he owns? By RACF, you need a user exit to prevent the job to be
listed.

I've experienced several instances of antiquated convention that were
byproducts of batch job owner generation via a feature of Top Secret and
