Neither RACF nor ACF2 "... validates a users access to specific applications...". Rather, both respond to queries from applications. How the query is crafted and what is done with the results is up to the application. Therefore, the place I'd focus is in the application manager's code.
HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Henke, George Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 5:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: ACF2/RACF User Appliation Logical Access Does anyone know how ACF2 validates a users access to specific applications? Recently we tried to migrate from ACF2 to RACF and were forced to fallback because ACF2 was somehow *wildcarding* a user's access to applications whereas RACF was iterating through a list of applications. The resulting overhead across 1000's of users exhausted memory leaving no room for LSQA and producing 878 abends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
