I remember the SMFid being around on MVS 3.7 and 3.8. The Sysname (CVTSNAME)
became more important with the advent of Sysplex so I probably remember
using it from then. Wikipedia has MVS/SP dated as 1980. It was preceded by
MVS/SE and before that by MVS 3.8. I don't think I used
I think the SMFID is older than SYSNAME. I think SYSNAME dates from the late
80s or 90s, whereas SMFID was in the early versions of MVS.

You can do that with profiles in the DATASET class but I don't think you can do
it with general classes.
There is no GENERIC parameter on the RDEFINE command.
Or do you use some local

My recollection is that it didn't really become a viable alternative to SVS
until MVS 3.7. Soon after was MVS 3.8 and then IBM embarked on a series of
other versions and designations, starting, I think, with MVS SE1 later
renamed to MVS SE1.1

If you were asking in a security context, I would advise against it in
nearly all cases.
Auditors will not like that a system's data can be accessed without

as an accelerator rather than
as a full processor makes those calls slightly faster as they use a shorter
path with the Crypto Express device.
So the short answer is that you do not need the master keys. Longer answer
is to configure as an accelerator for better performance of SSL and TLS.
