Display command or healthcheck for RACF use of IRRPRMxx

We are currently converting RACF from ICHRDSNT modules to using parmlib member IRRPRMxx.

While this works as designed there is no way to verify after the fact (if the historical IPL syslog/operlog is not available) if RACF is using the ICHRDSNT or the IRRPRMxx for the RACF DB names.

It would be useful if there was a RACF or MVS command that displayed the status as to what RACF was currently using as the DS Name Table.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.

    None of the commands you provided display any indication of whether RACF is using ICHRDSNT for the naming of the RACF DB name or if the RACF DB name was supplied via IRRPRMxx.

    The question really is how can RACF be interrogated such that a user would be able to tell if IRRPRMxx was used at IPL time or whether ICHRDSNT was used at IPL time.

    Thanks

    Thank you for submitting this requirement. We would appreciate some more details. What information would you like to see that is not currently displayed by the RVARY LIST, SETROPTS LIST, or SET LIST commands?
