RACF

RACF RACDCERT should support PDS(E) and zFS as well as sequential data sets

RACDCERT ADD, CHECKCERT, GENREQ etc. require a unique sequential dataset. Usability would be improved if RACF supported a PDS or PDSE member, or even a zFE file.

List General Resource Classes that were not unloaded by IRRDBU00 in the SYSPRINT output from IRRDBU00

Output from IRRDBU00 is highly dependent upon the general resource classes that are defined on the system where the unload is performed. IRRDBU00 does not unload profiles in classes that are not defined on the system where it is executed and does ...

Report the RACF database template level of each INDDn database in the SYSPRINT output from IRRDBU00

Output from IRRDBU00 is highly dependent upon the level of the templates in the database being unloaded. Knowing the level of the templates can help set expectations as to the contents of the unload. This information can also provide a mechanism f...

IRRDBU00 / RACF Unload Support zMFA Settings

The zMFA Settings that are specified in zMFA ISPF applications are stored in the RACF database, as far as we see, in JSON format. Currently, IRRDBU00 supports the unload of zMFA Factors and policies, but not zMFA settings. IRRDBU00 should be enhan...

RACF Trace to trace only nonzero return codes

I can enable RACF trace for a job, but it captures so many records, and it is hard to find the records of interest. I would like to see a new option #SET TRACE(NONZERO) which produces only exit records where the return code was non zero.

Run RACF health checks only once per shared RACF database

Either RACF healthcheck routines should sort out, if the systems of the sysplex share the same RACF database, or there should be grouping parameter that can be specified for the check to "help" the routine to sort that out.

Add Support for Fast Replication / Flash Copy for backup of the RACF Database

Provide a method to backup the RACF Database that takes advantage of the current utilities that perform Fast Replication/Flash Copies where the backups are more instantaneous.

Ability to remove or decrease the Passphrase Complexity for RACF

This would give the ability for Single Sign On which could utilize the Active Directory (Windows) as the PRA (Password Rules Authority) and create policies to control password complexity from AD. Currently RACF requires that we utilize a minimum o...
