Important information for users of non-IBM security products

File Manager issues a RACROUTE TYPE=AUTH for the required profile, and if the required profile is not defined, RACF® returns RC=4. If RC=4 is returned, File Manager issues a RACROUTE for FILEM.OTHER.ALL. If a higher return code is returned, no RACROUTE is issued for FILEM.OTHER.ALL and the access request fails immediately.

You should be aware that not all non-IBM security products issue RC=4 when a RACROUTE TYPE=AUTH for a profile fails; in this case no RACROUTE is issued for FILEM.OTHER.ALL and the access request fails immediately. If this applies to your security product, you will have to provide individual profiles for all File Manager functions listed in File Manager functions protected by FILEM.OTHER.ALL.
