ability to recall dsn that i have no racf to access

I noticed that in my system I can recall a migrated dataset, yet when it is recalled, RACF prohibits any access.

Does this indicate that RACF requires some setting with the RECALL process? inorder to prohibit my ability to recall a dataset that I can not access. Or is this normal, due to operations being required to re-dasd ds that others can use?

we are using sms.

The dataset wouldn't be opened until after it has been recalled, and it's only then that RACF would step in and say - sorry mate no access.

I'm sure that at one place I worked, you were not even allowed to recall / recover datasets that you did not have access to, even with rename specified in a recover process.

There may be a RACF parameter in the HSM parms. I'll try and take a look tomorrow if I get time.
