configurability of RAFC group names

The RACF group names (i.a. DBBADMNS, DBBUSERS, DBBGUEST) used in DBB should be configurable so they can be changed to adhere to company name conventions. Otherwise it can be difficult to roll out DBB Version 2.

    In DBB v2.0.1 a database mapping table has been introduced and can be used to map one or more existing RACF groups to a DBB role. For more information on configuring RACF groups see Mapping RACF groups to roles.

    Hi,


    Thanks for submitting this idea.


    We understand the need for this enhancement and we have slated it for a future release. When we have a design ready, we will reach out to you and show you the design (or a prototype) and get feedback.


    I appreciate the help and looking forward to working with you more on DBB related enhancements.


    Thanks,

    Senthil Nathan

    Product Manager - IBM DBB
