The RACF/DB2 external security module can be used to protect DB2 objects using
RACF profiles. If your installation chooses to use this function, RACF SMF Type 80
records can be used to audit access attempts to DB2 data and resources. For more
information on auditing for the RACF/DB2 external security module, see
