Changes to RACF Commands

Command

Description

Support

TARGET

The

new

keyword

WDSQUAL

is

added

to

theOW24966

RACF TARGET command to indicate that the

variable that follows will be used

by RRSF

as

the

middle

qualifier

for

the

work

space

data

set

names

of

the

INMSG

and

OUTMSG

queues

for

the

local

RRSF node defined by the TARGET command.

WDSQUAL

cannot

be

used

for

a

remote

node.

The format for the qualifier name is

prefix.wdsqual.ds_identity. wdsqual can

be

from

1

to 8 characters long beginning with an alphabetic

character.

Initial

numerals

are

not

accepted.

The

formation of the workspace data set names can be

changed until the data sets are allocated. This

normally occurs when a DORMANT or OPERATIVE

keyword is processed. After that keyword is

processed, the data set names cannot be changed.

Concerning

TARGET

nodename

OPERATIVE

WDSQUAL(xxx) , RACF processes the

OPERATIVE keyword after the WDQUAL

keyword,

even though the user specified them in the reverse

order.

The

keyword

WDSQUAL

works until

RACF

has processed a TARGET command specifying

DORMANT or

OPERATIVE

for

that

node.

This

enhancement

allows

operators

to

set

one

or

more work space data sets for

local

node

names,

which can be used when they are working with

multisystem RRSF nodes, especially in a sysplex

environment.

If you have any TARGET commands in your

IRROPTxx RACF parameter library member that

specify

the

WORKSPACE

keyword

abbreviated to a

W,

you

need

to

increase

the

length

of

that

keyword

to at least WO so it is not

mistaken

for

the

new

WDSQUAL

keyword

which

is now

represented

as

W.

If WDSQUAL is not specified, the previously used format for the data set names is used. This is prefix.sysname.INMSG and

prefix.sysname.OUTMSG.
