If systems in an RRSF network have different versions of the RACF® templates installed, commands that run successfully on one system might fail on another one. When an RRSF node attempts to establish communications with another RRSF node, RACF determines which versions of the templates are installed on the two nodes and issues a warning message if they are different. You should ensure that all RRSF nodes that communicate with each other have the same version of the RACF templates installed. However, you can run with different template versions as long as you do not try to add or alter a profile using a field that exists in one system's templates but not in another's. Typically this would only be a concern with new fields in non-base segments, when automatic direction is active.

You can determine what level of RACF templates your system is using by issuing a RACF SET LIST operator command.

To update the RACF templates use the IRRMIN00 utility. For information on IRRMIN00 see RACF database initialization utility program (IRRMIN00).
