Making your new RACF resources effective

If your Db2 subsystem was up and running when you defined your new Db2 objects and administrative authorities in Protecting Db2 objects and Protecting Db2 administrative authorities, your new resource definitions are not in effect until you take explicit steps to make them effective. In order to be effective, the new RACF resource definitions must be read into storage for RACF access list checking.

Depending on whether the resource classes where you defined the new resources were active at the time your Db2 subsystem was started, you execute different sets of commands to put your resource definitions in effect, as shown below.
