I just went through this. There are 2 "levels" of RACF sharing SYSPLEX Data Sharing (CF required) and SYSPLEX Communications (no CF required).
SYSPLEX Data Sharing is b'10001100' (x'8C') SYSPLEX Communication is b'10001000' (x'88'). What you have set up is SYSPLEX Communication. RACF will not be using the CF in this mode. I believe the bits are described in the data areas manual for ICHRDSNT.

RACF in sysplex communications mode Since there's more activity here than in the RACF mailing list, thought I'd ask here first. I changed the flag byte in the RACF dataset names table to enable sysplex communications today, and ipled the first system with the changed table. Even though it's not talking to another system yet via XCF, I had thought the RVARY LIST command issued on that system would have told me that it's enabled for sysplex communications. I've verified that this system is using the updated load module. rvary list ICH15013I RACF DATABASE STATUS: ACTIVE USE NUM VOLUME DATASET ------ --- --- ------ ------- YES PRIM 1 SYS001 SYS1.PROD.RACF YES BACK 1 SYS011 SYS1.PROD.RACF.BACKUP ICH15020I RVARY COMMAND HAS FINISHED PROCESSING. READY Here's what I set in the table; ICHRDSNT CSECT DC AL1(1) INDICATES ONE RACF DATA SET DC CL44'SYS1.PROD.RACF' PRIMARY RACF DS NAME DC CL44'SYS1.PROD.RACF.BACKUP' BACKUP RACF DS NAME DC AL1(255) # OF RESIDENT DATA BLOCKS * DC B'01234567' BIT COUNT DC B'10001000' SYSPLEX, NON DATASHARING END Any ideas?
