Processing of user information

If you convert user information that is defined in the UADS to the RACF® data base, the information is processed as follows:

Some information is defined as a RACF resource. This gives you the ability to allow groups of users to access the same user information without having to define the information for each individual user. In the following table, the UADS information indicates the resource name that needs to be defined in the corresponding RACF resource class. (For example, if the user has an account number 123, then a profile named 123 needs to be defined in the ACCTNUM resource class). The user must have READ access to the profiles defined:

UADS information	RACF resource class name
Account numbers	ACCTNUM
Procedure names	TSOPROC
Performance groups	PERFGRP
TSO/E authority information (The following are the actual resource names): JCL OPER MOUNT ACCT RECOVER.	TSOAUTH

The following user information is stored directly in the RACF data base:
- Maximum region size
- USERDATA
- RBA (relative block address) of the MAIL directory
- Default SYSOUT destination
- Default job, message, hold and SYSOUT classes
- Default UNIT name
- Console profile settings
- User profile table (UPT)
- Logon default information, which consists of the account number, procedure name, region size, performance group, mail, notices, OIDCARD, and TSO/E command
Values for logon default block information are obtained from the parameters that a user specifies when he logs on to TSO/E. This information is stored in the RACF data base each time the user logs on.
The password and UADSADRF field are deleted because they are not needed.

The default UNIT name is carried over to the RACF data base with full-screen logon only when the logon default information is stored in UADS. The UNIT is not saved because there is no place on the full-screen panel to specify it. Users who have never logged on to TSO/E will not have logon default information in UADS. If RACONVRT is issued after UADSREFM, and users have not have not logged on and off TSO/E in the meantime, their default account numbers, procedures and UNITs are lost.
