Update database templates

Description: To ensure that the RACF® utilities function properly, use the IRRMIN00 utility to update the test and production RACF databases with the database templates for the current release level.

Steps to take: To install the database template updates, run the IRRMIN00 utility with PARM=UPDATE.

Tip: The RACF database templates have been updated as part of APAR OA43999 for z/OS V2R1, V1R13, and V1R12, which introduced RACF password enhancements. The templates contain a version string with a value of OA43999 00000193.00000023 on all releases.

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.
