Jack, Be aware, that you may be opening the proverbial can of worms by doing this. Does the system you intend to IPL on this starter database have physical access to all disk in your environment? If so, you have just given yourself access to the world.... you might like it, the auditors hate it, could get fired for it for bypassing security controls.
If it were my game, and had concerns, I would copy the production database to a new name, apply the updated templates and IPL from that long enough to know that you didn't break anything. Then go back, schedule the update of the real production database, and continue to use that. That way your testing is more "real world" anyway, and would show potential access issues. With that being said, when I used to work in a RACF shop, I would just schedule the update of the templates through the change management process as one of my "pre-upgrade" tasks. Kinda goes along with adding all the new indirect catalog entries to the mastercat to support the upgrade. Good Luck, Dave _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Kelly Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 1:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RACF starter database Thanks Radoslaw that's what I needed.
