Security Server (RACF) Database Sharing
Use the 'Security Server (RACF) Database Sharing' dialog to define which system profiles that are
currently defined in the sysplex are sharing a RACF database.
There are different scenarios that may apply in respect to RACF database sharing:
- One RACF database is shared by all system profiles in the sysplex.
This is the recommended security database setup that allows you to perform the
refresh and update tasks successfully without manual intervention for any combination
of driving/target system profile.
In this case you should not define any system profile group which will trigger
the default behavior for a sysplex-wide shared RACF database.
- Multiple (at least two) RACF databases are used in the sysplex.
In this case you should define one system profile group for each RACF database
and associate any system profile that is currently defined in the sysplex with
one of the groups.
- Security Server (RACF) is used as security product only for a sub-set of all system profiles that are currently
defined in the sysplex.
In this case you should define a system profile group and associate those system profiles
for which Security Server (RACF) is used with the group.
- Security Server (RACF) is not used at all as security product.
In this case you should not define any system profile group.
Note: The scope of Security Server (RACF) database sharing information is sysplex-wide.
Any system profile group definition or update will be propagated to all system profiles
that are currently defined in the sysplex if you click the
OK
button.
