In this situation, follow this procedure:
  1. Issue RVARY INACTIVE. Failsoft processing is in effect. See Failsoft processing.
  2. Obtain the most recent dump of your RACF® database.
  3. Take one of the following actions:
    1. If the device is accessible, copy the dump to the primary database.
    2. If the device is inaccessible, allocate, catalog, and copy the database onto a different DASD device.
  4. Issue RVARY ACTIVE.

    Your database is probably back-level. To bring it up to date, use a combination of the SMF records and the RACF report writer to add or delete the appropriate profiles and access authorities.
