The RAC/PACK is
a family of products designed to help manage the IBM
Security Server (RACF) more efficiently; thereby enabling
the security professional’s to work more productively.
RAC/PACK is comprised of three separate products. RA/2 for
Administration Auditing and Reporting; RA/7 for reporting
on security violations, and RA/8 for automating the process
of handling RA/8 connects profiles.
RACF Administration
and Auditing
RA/2 is an
administrative, reporting and auditing facility designed to
enhance IBM’s RACF security system. A data center can
expand their proficiency by utilizing RA/2 to make complex
and comprehensive inquiries, from one easy to use product.
RA/2 is a vital component in a RACF environment. RA/2
operates in both online and batch modes to perform
comprehensive cross referencing for reporting, auditing and
administrative tasks. RA/2 can also be used for making mass
changes/additions to the RACF database, and RA/2 uses only
standard RACF commands and facilities. RA2002 which has its
own sets of libraries utilizes the life RACF database to
retrieve/update requested data. RA2002 contains as well
optional features e.g. the RRE, the RACF Rules Enforcer to
enforce security standards based on user defined rules.
The new z/OS RACF Report
Writer
RA/7 is the
Security Server (RACF) Reporting System for event
reporting. It is a full replacement of the IBM RACFRW. An
installation can use RA/7 to report on active SMF files or
off loaded SMF files. SMF data is usually very voluminous
and it may be reduced by simply using the RA/7 unique
selection criteria, to extract only the SMF information of
interest to a specific user or site. It is structured to
provide the user with multi-level information for summary
and detailed reports with a wide selection of filters
available on all fields. RA/7 provides a single detailed
report for each event code and its associated statistics.
This allows users to have vital information always at their
finger tips.
The RACF Auto Link - Manage RACF Connect
Profiles
RA/8 automates
the labor intensive process to manage RACF connect
profiles. RA/8 manages the RACF profile relationships
between user(s) and functional groups by using standard
RACF resources. All information required by RA/8 is stored
in the RACF database to ensure full data integrity.
