APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• "credmap" done on a UNIX host, to a Windows server with 9.0.0.5
  or later
     can map group IDs, but cannot map user IDs
  
  This makes it not possible to create a view from a UNIX host
  using a registered view storage location with a Windows view
  server host.
  
  There maybe other permissions issues resulting, where permission
  is based on the specific userid rather than on group membership.
