Create SQL Database and Table
Using Microsoft SQL Server Manager, create a database called IBM RACF_Datasets. Within that database, create a table called Datasets with the following columns:
Column Name |
Data Type |
Audit |
nchar(100) |
Create_Group |
nchar(10) |
Owner |
nchar(10) |
UACC |
nchar(10) |
UID (database key) |
nchar(100) |
Create a connection to this database and table with the ARSS Microsoft SQL Server Connector.
Provisioning Datasets
To synchronize the SQL table to IBM RACF follow the steps provided here.
To synchronize the SQL table to IBM RACF
-
Navigate to the Workflow tab.
-
Click Add sync workflow.
-
Enter IBM RACF Datasets and click OK.
-
Click on the IBM RACF Datasets workflow.
-
Click on Add synchronization.
-
Click Creation and then Next.
-
From the Source connected system section, click Specify.
-
Select your Microsoft SQL Server Connector and click Finish.
The SQL source object type is currently set to sql-Object. Do not change this value.
-
Click Next.
-
In the Target connected system field, click Specify and then locate your IBM RACF connector and click Finish.
-
The object type in the Target object system field is populated automatically by Synchronization service to racfUser. Change this to racfDataset.
-
Click Next.
-
In the Specify provisioning rules section, click Forward Sync Rule.
-
In the Source attribute field, click Attribute locate UID and click OK.
-
In the Target attribute field, click Attribute, locate racfDataset and click OK.
-
Repeat these steps so that the following five items are mapped:
SQL Attribute |
IBM RACF Attribute |
Owner |
racfOwner |
UACC |
racfUacc |
Create_Group |
racfCreateGroup |
Audit |
racfAudit |
UID |
racfDataset |
- Click OK.
- Click Finish to complete the synchronization.
