RACF Converter

The Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) is a security component for IBM mainframe computers that works together with the existing operating system to provide system security, resource access control, auditability, accountability and administrative control. As such, it is the main repository for users, roles and resources data on mainframe computers.

The main input to the RACF import option requires downloading access data from RACF using the IRRDBU00 unload utility. This generated text file should then be segmented according to various line types, each representing a different type of entity and/or connections. You can add enriched data about users attributes (for example, from the human resources department database).

The output is a CA GovernanceMinder configuration, with RACF groups appearing as CA GovernanceMinder roles and with RACF profiles as CA GovernanceMinder resources.
