The RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST,GLOBAL=YES option creates in-storage profiles in a data space rather than in private storage. It allows multiple address spaces to share the same set of RACLISTed profiles. Each additional application that issues RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST,GLOBAL=YES for the same class can access the data space already built. Profiles that are globally RACLISTed for a class with RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST,GLOBAL=YES can be refreshed simultaneously for all users by SETROPTS RACLIST(classname) REFRESH. The refresh occurs without requiring the applications to suspend work.

GLOBAL=YES RACLIST ONLY =

After all applications have given up their access to the RACLIST data space by issuing RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST,ENVIR=DELETE, you can delete the data space by issuing SETROPTS NORACLIST(classname). Remember that the SETROPTS RACLIST REFRESH and SETROPTS NORACLIST commands process both the class specified by the command and all valid classes sharing the same POSIT value as the specified class. Additionally, if the system is enabled for sysplex communication, the command is propagated to the other members of the sysplex data sharing group.
