This book contains information about the Resource Access Control Facility (RACF),
which is part of the OS/390 Security Server. The Security Server has two
components:
RACF
OpenEdition DCE Security Server
For information about the OpenEdition DCE Security Server, see the publications
related to that component.
This book provides information to guide you through the migration process from
OS/390 Release 3 Security Server (RACF) or RACF to OS/390 Release 4 Security
Server (RACF).
The purpose of this book is to ensure an orderly transition to a new RACF release.
It is
not
intended for customers installing RACF for the first time or installing a
release prior to Security Server (RACF) Release 3. First-time RACF customers
should read
OS/390 Security Server (RACF) Introduction
and use the program
directory shipped with the product when they are ready to install the product.
