3248 + (4136 × number_of_database_buffers)
If using sysplex communication, for each backup
database add:

RACF transient storage 16000 (minimum) while a RACF service is
executing
Formula for average_profile_size:
average_profile_size = 51 + average_installation_data + (average_number_of_access_entries × 9) +
(average_number_of_categories × 2) + (average_number_of_conditional_access_entries × 17)
Customer Additions to the CDT
Additional classes can be defined in the CDT during installation, or they can be
customized later. See “Customer Additions to the CDT” on page 35 for further
