In addition to RACF, there is a layer of security rules refresh within OPSMVS itself. Don't know the specifics of it, but the OPS/MVS docs will surely cover it. - KB --- Original Message --- On Thursday, February 23rd, 2023 at 4:53 AM, Shawn Prenevost wrote: > Another consideration

Hi Brian, "... Originally ..." maybe 30 or more years ago? (Incidentally, I started with SMP4 (before 1983). I don't remember any ISPF Panels for that.) I do RACF in Batch so that it (almost) self-documents and is repeatable. ISPF Panels are not (easily) repeatable. Regards, David On

I never really thought about it. I use the ISPF panels (for racf and smp/e) a lot, and I know pretty much all of the commands to do it otherwise. Actually, I think I built my SMPe jobs originally from the panels. :) Brian --

Another consideration is that OPS/MVS can also be configured to make SAF calls for specific access. This can be all SAF or a mix of SAF and OPS )SEC rules. On Wed, Feb 22, 2023, 11:25 AM Steve Beaver wrote: > Thanks Bill > > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

It has been a while since I supported OPS/MVS, but where I was, there was a security environment built with OPS Rules. It was based upon the userid of the requestor and was set to allow or disallow functions with OPS/MVS. I think the rules dataset we used ended in 'security.rules'. We would
