Modify Full-Part Replacement TEXT Files

During customization of RACF® you might have to modify TEXT files that are serviced as full-part replacement using your existing ASSEMBLE file.

The following instructions describe how to create and build the new TEXT file. Use the substitution command values provided in the instructions that pointed you to this section.

1. Access the RACF service disks.

   VMFSETUP SERVP2P compname

   For compname, use:

   RACF

   For installing on minidisks

   RACFSFS

   For installing in shared file system (SFS) directories

   RACFPANL

   For installing on minidisks with RACF ISPF panels

   RACFPANLSFS

   For installing in SFS directories with RACF ISPF panels

2. Create the ASSEMBLE file on the 2C2 disk.
3. Make your local modification to the copy of the ASSEMBLE file on your local modifications disk (LOCALSAM 2C2).
4. Assemble the file.

   VMFASM fn SERVP2P compname ($SELECT OUTMODE LOCALSAM

   Notes:

   1. Other options are available for the VMFASM command. See z/VM: VMSES/E Introduction and Reference for additional information.
   2. If the assemble function is successful, the file fn TXT00000 is placed on the LOCALSAM 2C2 (E) disk.
5. Rename the fn TXT00000 file on the 2C2 disk and log the local modification.

   VMFREPL fn TEXT SERVP2P compname ($SEL LOGMOD Lnnnn OUTM LOCALSAM

6. Build your new local modification on the test build disk.

   SERVICE compname BUILD

7. Put the local modification into production.

   PUT2PROD compname

   Note: For information on using RACMAINT to test code before putting it into production, see RACF Security Server in Appendix C in z/VM: Service Guide.
