ARC0099E
WARNING - {RACF | RACFINCLUDE} SPECIFIED WITH TAPESECURITY PARAMETER BUT {RACF NOT ACTIVE | RACF TAPEVOL RESOURCE CLASS NOT ACTIVE}

Explanation

A SETSYS command has been entered with the TAPESECURITY parameter and the RACF® or RACFINCLUDE subparameter, but RACF has not been activated.

System action

The TAPESECURITY parameter and its subparameters are processed. Either the RACF or RACFINCLUDE tape security option is in effect. All other parameters on the SETSYS command are processed. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Operator response

When the problem is corrected or the message is no longer needed, take the following action to delete the message:
  • If the message identifier id is not available, issue the DISPLAY R,I command to get the ID.
  • To delete the message, issue the following command using the message identifier id obtained from the above DISPLAY R,I command:
    CONTROL C,I,id

Programmer response

This message is an attention message. The installation has requested DFSMShsm, by way of the TAPESECURITY parameter on the SETSYS command, to RACF-protect the tape volumes it uses. RACF is installed in the system, but one of the two following conditions exist:
  • RACF is not active.
  • RACF is active but the system-wide tape protection option of RACF is not active.

If your installation has defined multiple RACF resource names for DFSMShsm tape volume sets since the last initialization of DFSMShsm, you must reinitialize DFSMShsm on each processing unit in which you have defined the resources for them to take effect. For more information, see z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide.

A RACF-defined user can reactivate RACF by entering the following RACF command: RVARY ACTIVE

The operator (at the master console or security console) must approve the change of RACF status to active or inactive.

A RACF-defined user with the SPECIAL attribute can start the system-wide tape protection option by entering the following RACF command: SETROPTS CLASSACT(TAPEVOL)

For more information, see z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference.
