You might find it useful to share RACF® data between systems. The RACF remote sharing facility (RRSF) removes the restrictions of shared DASD. It allows you to configure your systems into a network of RRSF nodes and share RACF data between these nodes regardless of their physical proximity. You can:

• Give each RRSF node its own copy of the same RACF database and use remote sharing functions to keep the databases synchronized.
• Synchronize subsets of the database information, such as the user profiles.
• Administer RACF databases remotely.
• Automatically synchronize passwords for specified user IDs on systems in the RRSF network.

For more information on administering the RACF remote sharing facility, see The RACF remote sharing facility (RRSF).
