RACF RRSF

If your site is using RACF as the security product and you are using RRSF to apply updates to remote RACF databases and you would like the updates that have been performed by Mainframe Connector forwarded to other systems in the RRSF complex, you will need to ensure the following:

  • the RACF RRSFDATA class must be active

  • RRSF automatic direction of application updates must be enabled. This can be accomplished with the following RACF commands:

    RDEFINE RRSFDATA (AUTODIRECT.sysname.USER.APPL) UACC(NONE) 
    PERMIT AUTODIRECT.sysname.USER.APPL CLASS(RRSFDATA) - 
           ACCESS(READ) ID(mfc) 
             
    SETROPTS CLASSACT(RRSFDATA) RACLIST(RRSFDATA) 
    SETROPTS RACLIST(RRSFDATA) REFRESH

    where sysname is the value of the &SYSNAME variable of the corresponding z/OS system and mfc is the userid under which the Mainframe Connector started task is running.
