How automatic direction of commands works

Automatic direction of commands:

Can take place only if SET AUTODIRECT has been used to activate it.
Does not use or require user ID associations.
Requires proper authority as defined in the RRSFDATA class.
Begins after a command has successfully completed with a return code that is less than 8.
Is relative to where a command runs, as opposed to where it originated.
Only occurs from the node where the command originally runs. Although a command can be automatically directed to multiple nodes, it is not directed or propagated beyond those nodes.

Automatic command direction is activated using the SET command and the AUTODIRECT operand to specify output options. See z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference for more information about the SET AUTODIRECT command.

When automatic command direction is active, and a command runs successfully (with a return code that is less than 8), the command becomes a candidate for automatic direction. Before it is automatically directed to any other nodes, authorization checks are made against profiles in the RRSFDATA class. The authorization checks determine whether the command should be automatically directed, and which nodes it should be directed to.
