Rugel If no RACF database you need to have a userid and password in SYS1.UADS.
But if the problem is not portable backup because you not have tape, but if the disk of this system is acessible by other system you can define a new SYS1.RACF.PRIM and new SYS1.RACF.BACK. Use the utility IRRMIN00 to create a new RACF When you create a new RACF userid IBMUSER is defined with the password SYS1, because the default group of IBMUSER is SYS1. BUT, be CARREFULL with your DRIVE system if you point wrong the new RACF and the system use your drive RACF/DB, probable you lost your RACF/DB. A correct JCL to create a new RACF/DB in a system that have a RACF/DB is this: //jobname //ST1 EXEC PGM=IRRMIN00,PARM=NEW //STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS1.LINKLIB,DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=NEWSYS //SYSTEMP DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=NEWSYS, // DSN=SYS1.MODGEN(IRRTEMP1) //SYSRACF DD DSN=SYS1.RACF.PRIM.NEW,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=NEWSYS, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // DCB=(BLKSIZE=4096,RECFM=F,LRECL=4096,DSORG=PS), // SPACE=(CYL,(40,0),,CONTIG) // Repeate the JOB to Secondary RACF/DB. The volume NEWSYS is what you want. And didn't forget to linkedit ICHDSNT in SYS1.linklib that have the RACF/DB name primary and secondary. You not need to restore your production RACF/DB in this system, you can start with a new empty RACF/DB only with the IBM hard defined userid IBMUSER groupid SYS1 and others groups.
