BCSC currently offers two products, RACF-Offline and FixCon:

RACF-Offline

With this product you can issue RACF commands in a RACF database that is 'offline', but real. This offline database may be a copy of your production database, a copy of a database from another system, or a database that you created yourself. RACF-Offline uses genuine RACF databases, it does not use simulation. You can check the results of commands without having to issue them in the production environment itself.

The product can be used for many different purposes: the checking of complicated commands, the preparation of changes, or learning situations in a real-life environment to name a few.

For more details on this product please visit the page on RACF-Offline

FixCon

For several reasons there can be (and usually there are) inconsistencies in the connection information for USERS and GROUPS maintained in the RACF database. Especially in larger installations this can lead to an administrative nuisance which is hard or even impossible to control.

FixCon combines two functions: it verifies and corrects errors in connection definitions and it converts STANDARD GROUPS to UNIVERSAL GROUPS and vice versa.
