If any of the systems in your RRSF network have installation-provided code on them that updates a remote database, you might need to remove that code. You must carefully evaluate what RRSF functions you plan to use and what functions the installation-provided code performs to determine whether to remove the code. If the code performs a function that you plan to use RRSF to perform, then you should remove the code to avoid duplicate updates to the RACF® database.

For example, if you plan to use RRSF to synchronize passwords, and if you have installation-provided code that synchronizes passwords, remove the installation-provided code from all systems in the RRSF network before you activate RRSF password synchronization. However, if you are not planning to use RRSF password synchronization, you can continue to use your installation-provided code to synchronize passwords.

Similarly, if you plan to synchronize databases by way of automatic command direction, automatic password direction, and automatic direction of application updates, but you already have installation-provided code that synchronizes a remote database, you should probably remove that code. It is up to the installation to choose which RRSF options are turned on and which installation-provided code is removed due to redundancy.
