|
|
There is an option under RACF that allow dataset profiles to be set to ERASE which, in effect, overwrites any deleted datasets covered by that dataset profile with binary zeroes. There is also a SETROPTS command that does the same task but will do all datasets.
Is there any mainframe feature that allows temporary datasets written by DFSORT or any program to overwrite the temporay datasets with binary zeroes upon completion of a job or job step ensuring the dataset is not sitting out there on spinning DASD available to be dumped by someone with the knowledge to do so?
Thanks in advance. |

Hello,
Wonder if there might be something in SMS. . .?
Otherwise, may need to swap out those sensitive temporary datasets for "real" ones so RACF can erase the data. . . |
