Do you see RDEFINEs for MAINT.CF1, etc., in the output file from RPIDIRCT? Do you see a PERMIT MAINT.CF1 CL(VMMDISK) ID(MAINT) ACCESS(something)? Did you also run RPIBLDDS? Did you get any errors? > NO error when issue Vmfview service VMFVIEW isn't going to show you anything related to RPIDIRCT or RPIBLDDS. Issue "RAC RLIST VMMDISK MAINT.CF1 ALL" to see if the resource is defined and who has access to it. > I only want to establish the simple and basic RACF without share database. > Do I have the "Disallow Access" problem? I never change that on 5.4. There is a table in HCPRWA that defines how CP behaves if the associated VMMDISK resource is NOT FOUND. The default is DEFER. That means that RACF gives CP the responsiblity. If there's a LINK in the directory or the user has OPTION LNKNOPAS, then the LINK will be allowed. > This is the most challange work I have in my life.
