RACF implementation and customisation (SZ81G)

• Teams about to implement RACF or to rebuild how it is configured.
• Anyone who has to work out why the RACF database has grown and what can be done.
• Administrators who need to control which programs may run and with what privilege.

• An overview of security on z/OS
• The RACF database and its structure
• Profiles and functions: what each one does
• Customising RACF for your own environment
• Program control
• RACF and DFSMS working together

• 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).

Is this user administration?
No. Users and groups are ES19G or BE87G. This looks at the product from the inside: the database, the configuration options and how it integrates with DFSMS.

Does it help prepare a RACF migration?
Yes, that is one of the usual uses: understanding what is in the database before touching it is what prevents surprises.

Can you deliver it at our premises?
Yes, and remotely with a live instructor too. Closed groups of four to ten people, in Spanish, English or French.

• ES19G — Basic RACF administration (users, groups and resources)
• ES88G — Advanced RACF functions (several systems connected with RRSF)
• ES84G — RACF security for CICS (if transactions are what needs protecting)
