Import from RACF

To import data from RACF into CA GovernanceMinder

1. Click Import, Import from RACF.

   The Importing from RACF Files window appears.

2. In the Resulting Configuration section, browse to set the pathnames of the data files that receive imported data.
3. In the Options section, specify import options. The following fields are not self-explanatory:

   Add ACL Entities

   Specifies if CA GovernanceMinder processes Application Control Language (ACL) scripts during import.

   Input HR file

   Specifies the pathname of the file containing supplementary user data, if any.

   Input RACF Download File

   Specifies the text file that is generated by running the IRRDBU00 Unload utility. The file contains lines that refer to the Users, Groups, Data Set Profiles and General Resource Profiles. These lines are converted into CA GovernanceMinder users, roles, and resources. All input types can be located in the same file name, or input can be divided into separate files depending on line types. This is done mainly for performance purposes.

4. Click Convert to import.

   The configuration is created in the target folder but is not automatically opened by CA GovernanceMinder.

5. To open the file, on the menu bar, select File, Open From File.

   If any errors result from the import process, a CA GovernanceMinder message appears. Check any errors in the eurekifyRACFConverterXXX.log file located in the CA GovernanceMinder Logs folder.
