That was my experience. I inherited RACF at my old shop, and never thought much

We had one box, w Prod/Test/Tech LPARs, and one RACF. No problems.

Agreed. I was observing this as part of a z/OS v3.1 update, and a hour after
the IPL, while everything else was checking out fine, I noticed z/OSMF was
still hogging all the CPU it could get. My experienced peers said that was

Hello,
Friends recently upgraded 2.4 to 2.5, and found that some previous controls
(eg.AUPDT) no longer work as before. I said I believe those controls moved from
parmlib to RACF.
We’re getting mixed feedback on that theory.
What say you?
Am I half right/wrong?
Are there exits, mods, exceptions,
Do you have specific issues that you can expand on ?

If so, you could require FTP to use the 1G.
I’m not sure the best way to have traffic default to 10G; OMPRoute might push
most traffic that way. There are other ways.
