This topic includes information about the following templates of the RACF® database:
  • GROUP

  • CONNECT
  • DATA SET
  • GENERAL
  • RESERVED

Important

Do not modify the RACF database templates (CSECT IRRTEMP2). Such modification is not supported by IBM® and might result in damage to your RACF database or other unpredictable results.

Segment fields:
  1. The first field in a segment of a template cannot be retrieved or updated. This field has a Field ID of 001 and is usually described in the Field Being Described column as ‘Start of segment fields’.
  2. The TME segment fields are intended to be updated by Tivoli® applications, which manage updates, permissions, and cross-references among the fields. The TME fields should only be directly updated on an exception basis. See z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference for formats of the field data as enforced by the RACF commands. Use caution when directly updating TME fields, as the updates might be overridden by subsequent actions of Tivoli applications.
