Status Not under consideration
Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Aug 31, 2023

Supply RACF Exit IRREVX01 to fail commands against Db2 classes that don't have the proper syntax.

As encountered in Case TS013914362, invalid profiles would not be created that could leave unused records in the RACF data base and also confuse Db2 when RACF notifies Db2 to refresh the cached profiles.  All Db2 for z/OS users utilizing RACF could benefit from this enhancement.  As a user, we couldn't possibly keep track of all the combinations of RACF class/profiles that Db2 may use but Db2 development would know.

Needed By Not sure -- Just thought it was cool

    Dear Craig,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request. We have reviewed this request and believe it is a good candidate for the Db2 for z/OS product. However, it does not align within functionality prioritized for delivery within the next 12 months. Therefore, unfortunately, we will not be considering this idea at this time.


    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. We hope that you will continue to submit enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.


    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Team
