Refreshing the BQL user RACF table (Option 2.5)

Option 2.5

BQL contains an internal BQL user RACF table used for the relevant product started task. The RACF table holds the user RACF profiles. These are necessary for database access. The use of this table is product-specific, not all Beta Systems products use it.

  • When a product uses this particular RACF table, you can display the specified users under option 2.5.
  • You can also use option 2.5 to refresh the BQL RACF table after profiles have been changed in RACF. When the next request is sent to the database, the new profiles will come into effect.

    Option 2.5 has the same effect as the following MODIFY command:

    F stcname,REFRESH RCF,U=userid

For more information see the BSA Installation and System Guide.
