Hello there,

I need to pull details of all the members that are active in CICS region at particular moment. I had partial success and able to fetch RACF ID and User name by inquiring TCT using below command.

EXEC CICS INQUIRE TERMINAL(Term_Name)
USERId( Contains RACF ID )
USERName( Contains User Name )
NEXT

My Question is, from where I can fetch information related to RACF group (Dept ) ?
Many Thanks in Advance

Brijesh

Have you talked with the racf admins?

Most organizations restrict access to the racf data - uhhh - for security. . .

Now the only constraint is that this commands pulls only the info of user that is invoking this program, the unsolved part is how to get information of other currently active users(info mean their RACF group and Dept).

If you are authorized to retrieve this RACF data, fine. If not, unauthorized attempts to access RACF, ACF2, TopSecret, etc. data is cause for termination at many sites.

As Terry mentioned, make sure you have permission to experiment before it causes a problem.

IMHO - there is no good/business reason for a process running by USER1 to access security info for any other user-id. Why do you believe that you need more than the user id/name?

Lots of things are requested that maybe should not be provided. . .

I would make sure that someone other than the requestor approved - fwiw.
