    Ensure ICH408I message is issued for a data set RENAME when RACF denies authorisation.

    If a RENAME macro is issued, for example by IEHPROGM, and the current user does not have sufficient access to the target data set, no ICH408I message is issued. Instead I received the following,IGD17061I INSUFFICIENT SECURITY AUTHORIZATION FOR 492...

    SMF Python API

    I know there's a Python API for SMF but it doesn't run on z/OS. I need a Python package for extracting SMF records directly on z/OS, as that's where my application runs. It should be free and open source, just like RACFu. The reason it's important...
