The RACF database

z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide
SA23-2287-00

The RACF® database holds all RACF access-control information. RACF processing uses the information from the database:
  • Each time a RACF-defined user enters a system
  • Each time a user wants to access a RACF-protected resource

You maintain your RACF database through commands, macros, and utilities.

The format of the database is described in z/OS Security Server RACF Diagnosis Guide.

The database templates are documented in z/OS Security Server RACF Macros and Interfaces and z/OS Security Server RACROUTE Macro Reference.

Information on protecting the RACF database is in z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide.

Information on estimating the size of the RACF database is in RACF database storage requirements.
