Steps for synchronizing the database templates when you install a new release of RACF, or a PTF that includes new templates and requires an IPL, and you have not yet re-IPLed

About this task

A PTF might require an IPL if it includes new function and some of the changed modules reside in LPA.

Before you begin: You need to have installed the new release or PTF, but not re-IPLed. If you have already re-IPLed, see Steps for synchronizing the database templates when you install a new release of RACF, or a PTF that includes new templates and requires an IPL, and you have re-IPLed without running IRRMIN00.

Perform the following steps to ensure that all copies of the database templates are at the same level.

Procedure

Run IRRMIN00 specifying PARM=UPDATE to update the templates on the database from IRRTEMP2.
Note: If you want to create a new RACF® database, specify PARM=NEW instead of PARM=UPDATE. Be aware that this effectively erases all the profiles on the database.

______________________________________________________________
IPL the system.
RACF initialization determines that the latest level of the templates is already on the database, and builds the in-storage templates from the database version.

Results

When you are done, both the in-storage templates and those on the database are the latest level, the level shipped in IRRTEMP2. You do not need to run IRRMIN00 with PARM=ACTIVATE.
