Hal, I think I would both respectively disagree and agree. Dang there I go hanging out on both sides of the fence.
As a general matter of keeping things simple, sure going with just one security product would be a good idea. But in this case, the zNALC is going to have a very limited user base and the data set security layout should be able to be duplicated with some basic work (unless it is a mess ... in which case it represents an opportunity to clean things up and standardize). In the light of opportunity, it is a clear opportunity to beat CA over the head to fix licensing costs. It is always better to hold up the proverbial loaded gun when negotiating. Having RACF in-house give the opportunity to generally explore, compare, and gain some experience with RACF. Also, with all the conversion experts out there.. there are some tools to generally convert Top Secret into RACF without completing the rest of the conversion for the other LPARs. If there is a user provisioning product, it may be able to handle the added product as well.
