Advanced RACF functions (ES88G)

• Organisations with several z/OS where every security change has to be repeated by hand.
• Teams who want to administer production security from a management system.
• Anyone with users holding different passwords on each system, and living with it daily.

• RRSF: what it solves and how nodes are defined
• Directed commands and synchronisation of passwords and pass phrases
• Remote administration between systems
• Automatic direction of commands and passwords
• Advanced resource protection functions
• Exercises on an environment with several systems

• Labs on a real RACF environment, with profiles and permissions broken and fixed in class.
• Taught directly by IBM Champion instructors from the SIXE team.
• Credly badges available: credly.com/organizations/sixe/badges
• Flexible format — online, classroom or onsite — in closed groups, priced per attendee, in the language of your choice (ES / EN / FR).

Do I need several systems for it to be worth it?
To get the value, yes: RRSF connects systems. With a single one, the advanced resource protection part still applies, but the bulk of the course does not.

Do we practise with more than one system?
Yes, the exercises run on an environment with several connected systems, which is what it takes to see RRSF working.

Group size and language?
Closed groups of four to ten people, in Spanish, English or French. We run it with fewer than four as well, though it usually pays to wait and fill the group.

• ES19G — Basic RACF administration (if the base is missing)
• SZ81G — RACF implementation and customisation (the database from the inside)
• BE87G — Effective RACF administration (the daily work, four and a half days)
