Effective RACF Administration
IBM Z - Mainframe · Systems
Course Overview
This course prepares you to be a more effective security administrator as you gain experience and confidence in using the RACF component of the z/OS Security Server.
Who Should Attend
This intermediate course is for people who are new to the RACF component of the z/OS Security Server, and responsible for security administration. This includes people who are planning to implement RACF for the first time, and people who are security administrators in installations where RACF is already implemented. Those inexperienced z/OS users might find the course <i>Basics of z/OS RACF Administration (ES19)</i> more appropriate.Anyone planning to implement the advanced features of RACF should consider attending <i>Implementing RACF Security for CICS (ES84)</i>, and <i>Exploiting the Advanced Features of RACF (ES88)</i>
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with the facilities of the system, logging on to TSO <strong>and</strong> using ISPF. A knowledge of resources like data sets, DASD volumes, <strong>and</strong> programs is required to get the most benefit from the course. This knowledge might be obtained by attending <i>Fundamental System Skills in z/OS (ES10)</i>, <strong>or </strong>consider taking <i>Basics of z/OS RACF Administration (ES19)</i> instead of this course. ES19 spends the first day covering these prerequisites and provides a more basic understanding of RACF than <i>Effective RACF Administration (BE87)</i>.You might also find it beneficial to attend <i>z/OS Security Server RACF, Implementation and Customization (SZ81)</i> to learn the implementation <strong>and</strong> customization of the z/OS security server RACF.
