Specifying user-defined resources to RACF

This topic contains Product-sensitive Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.

If you want to use the QUERY SECURITY command with the RESCLASS option, you may need to create user-defined resources within user-defined classes to represent the non-CICS® resources that you want to query. To do this, add entries to the RACF® class descriptor table (CDT) and to the RACF router table. Then, you must activate the new classes, define your resources in the new classes, and finally grant your users access to the resources. To improve the performance of QUERY SECURITY, also consider loading the new resource profiles into virtual storage.
