In addition to placing statistical information into the various profiles when you create them, you can cause RACF® to dynamically record statistics (such as the number of user accesses to a protected resource) in discrete profiles. For data sets and general resource classes, you can optionally record the following statistics:

• The number of times that a resource that is protected by a discrete profile was accessed under a specific RACF authority level (such as READ or UPDATE).
  Note: When a RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH is accepted at a certain level of authority (such as UPDATE), this does not necessarily mean that data is actually updated.
• The number of times that a specific user or group accessed a resource protected by a discrete profile.
• The date when a resource profile was last updated.

Statistics are not recorded for either of the following types of profiles:

• Generic profiles
• In-storage profiles (in classes for which the SETROPTS RACLIST command or RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST has been issued)
