Interesting. We have not actually tested this approach yet. But we did observe in this old old entry: http://groups.google.com/group/bit.listserv.ibm-main/browse_thread/threa d/6cff92f94d00eb1a/4390eb7b39b0681c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=MLPA+ICHRDSNT that this kind of approach may be OK.
... We're looking at trying to test this out ... It is not the name of the RACF database that we are concerned with, but the sysplex communication/datasharing bits. Our first DR IPL does not come up with full sysplex capability, so we are applying the RACF system programmer's guide 1.10 section 3.1.1.5 Sysplex considerations consideration about an emergency ICHRDSNT (apart from that we think we do not need to specifify an alternate DB name for out particular need).

Though I had a vague memory that might be possible, from examining the code I'm surprised that works. We do a BLDL, and only if it works do we do the LOAD. And BLDL will not find modules in LPA as far as I know. What -should- happen in your case, I think, is that RACF would use the SYSRACF DD from MSTRJCL, or prompt the operator for the name of the RACF primary data set. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
