A group is concerned that we have a single RACF database and there is no 'test' RACF database where the organization can implement 'test' rulesets. We have two sysplexes - a systems sandbox with no applications and a mixed development/production sysplex where all the applications reside. The only way I see this happening is if non-production partitions refer to one RACF database and the production partitions refer to the other. However, there is no binary separation of production and non-production work, and all resources (datasets etc.) are accessible from every partition.
Intuitively I think their idea is not good practice, to say the very least. Does anybody know of IBM documentation that can allow me to back up my assertion that they are proposing a mistake?
