Steps to take

To install the database template updates, run the IRRMIN00 utility with PARM=UPDATE.

Tip: The RACF database templates have been updated for z/OS V2R2. The templates contain a version string with a value of HRF77A0 00000194.00000022.
Note: If IRRMIN00 produces a return code of 4 and message IRR8025 PARM=UPDATE specified, but template update not required, you do not necessarily have a problem. Check that your JCL points to the new level of IRRMIN00. If it does, ignore the return code and warning message. A PTF might have already brought your templates up to the current level for the new release. If your JCL accidentally points to an old copy of IRRMIN00, correct the JCL and run IRRMIN00 again.
