Issue/Introduction

Description

We have created a RACF resource class of [email protected] with profiles for all of our Librarian master files. The problem we are having is that successful updates to one of the master files is not generating a SMF record stating that RACF approved the request. Why? The other two master files are fine.

Solution

The [email protected] profile for the master file was granting access to the librarian file before RACF checked the [email protected] profile.
Delete the [email protected] profile in order for RACF to check the [email protected] profile to produce the SMF records.
