Any thoughts? >From the Program Directory: "The RACF database must have templates at the function level 540 for RACF to function properly. If you are migrating from a previous release of RACF to RACF FL540, you must run the RACFCONV EXEC to convert the existing database templates to the current release." So run RACFCONV. As a reminder, the rules for sharing the database are: 1. Each RACF database (primary & backup) must be on its own full-pack minidisk or dedicated volume 2. If on a full-pack minidisk, the RDEV must be defined with the SHARED option 3. If on a full-pack minidisk, the MDISK must be defined with link mode MWV If any one of the above rules is not followed, then you may have database corruption since the database will not have been protected by RESERVE/RELEASE.
