Preventing ICH14081I Warning Message

ICH14081I message is issued when RACF encounters a duplicate class name in the dynamic class descriptor table and the installation-defined class descriptor table (module ICHRRCDE). The class attributes in the dynamic class table override any class attributes in ICHRRCDE. This is an unwanted situation.

1. Enhanced Validation Checks:
   • It can be implemented additional validation checks during the class registration process to ensure that a class already defined in the RACF database cannot be registered again in the CDT class.
   • It can be provided real-time feedback to users attempting to register a duplicate class.
2. Documentation and Training:
   • It can offer training sessions or materials to educate users about the importance of avoiding duplicate entries and how to check for existing classes.
3. Automated Tools:
   • It can develop automated tools or scripts that can scan the RACF database and identify potential duplicates before any new class definitions are submitted.
4. Regular Audits:
   • It can encourage regular audits of class definitions within the RACF and CDT to proactively identify and resolve duplicates.

By implementing these recommendations, I believe that IBM can significantly enhance the user experience and maintain the integrity of the RACF system. Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to your response and am happy to discuss these recommendations further.
