Chapter 2. Release Overview
This chapter lists the new and enhanced features of RACF for OS/390 Release 2.
It also lists the support that has not been updated in the new release.

OS/390 Release 2 Security Server (RACF) consists of the base code shipped with
both RACF 2.2 and OS/390 Release 1 Security Server (RACF), together with PTFs
that provide function enhancements. Similarly, OS/390 Release 1 Security Server
(RACF) consisted of the base code shipped with RACF 2.2, together with PTFs that
provided function enhancements. Therefore, the three releases differ only in the
set of PTFs shipped with each. Furthermore, any PTF shipped with one of these
releases can be applied to any of these releases that it was not shipped with. As a
result, when you migrate to Release 2 of the OS/390 Security Server (RACF) from
Release 1 of the OS/390 Security Server (RACF) or from RACF 2.2, your migration
considerations depend on which PTFs are already applied on your system. If, for
example, you have applied a PTF on a RACF 2.2 system for one of the functions
described in this book, and you are now installing OS/390 Release 2 Security
Server (RACF) on that system, you do not need to repeat migration actions you
have already taken.
Figure 1 identifies function introduced after the availability of RACF 2.2 and
shipped in OS/390 Release 1 Security Server (RACF).

are also shipped in OS/390 Release 2 Security Server (RACF).
