Chapter 9. Operational Considerations
This section summarizes the changes to operating procedures for RACF for
OS/390 Release 2.
Enhancements to the RESTART Command
The RESTART command has been enhanced. The new SYSNAME keyword
allows an operator to restart connections to systems on a multisystem node. See
OS/390 Security Server (RACF) Command Language Reference
for more
information.
Enabling and Disabling RACF
The Security Server (RACF) for OS/390 Release 2 supports the OS/390 enable
and disable functions. Entries in the IFAPRD
xx
parmlib member specify which
features are enabled and disabled.
If RACF is not enabled on your system when you IPL, RACF initialization does not
complete, message IFA104I is issued, and RACF does not provide security for the
system. If you plan to use RACF, make sure that an entry exists in IFAPRD
xx
to
enable RACF before you IPL. To see what the entry should look like, see
“Enabling RACF” on page 27.
To disable RACF, update the IFAPRD
xx
member for RACF, setting the STATE field
to DISABLED, and re-IPL. For more information, see
OS/390 Security Server
(RACF) System Programmer's Guide
or
OS/390 MVS Product Management
