Commands that do not modify user-created RACF profiles

The commands that do not modify user-created RACF® profiles are:
  • DISPLAY
  • LISTDSD
  • LISTGRP
  • LISTUSER
  • RESTART
  • RLIST
  • RVARY
  • SEARCH
  • SET (except SET INCLUDE)
  • SETROPTS
  • SIGNOFF
  • STOP
  • TARGET
Note: If the RACGLIST class is active, and a RACGLIST classname profile exists on the database, SETROPTS RACLIST(classname) and SETROPTS RACLIST(classname) REFRESH will create or modify RACGLIST profiles.

Failures that occur during the processing of these commands do not cause problems with the profiles on the RACF database because these commands do not modify profiles. However, the SETROPTS command does rewrite the inventory control block (ICB) in the primary RACF database.

To recover, perform the following steps:
  1. Examine the error messages to identify the failure.
  2. Reenter the command.
  3. If the failure occurs again, contact the IBM® support center.
