Course Overview

This course details the advanced facilities available in RACF and explains how to implement them. Through a combination of classroom lecture and hands-on lab exercises, you will learn how to implement RACF Sysplex Data Sharing and Sysplex Communication, RACF support for z/OS UNIX, DB2 security using RACF, Network Job Entry (NJE) security, Operator Commands, Program Control and Backup and Recovery of the RACF Database.

As on request extra day can be added to cover how to establish an RRSF environment, including using RRSF facilities to administer security of remote RACF databases from a single centralized location, allowing users to synchronize password changes among several associated userids, using RRSF facilities to automatically maintain synchronization of two or more separate RACF databases.
