CKR messages

The main program for several products in the zSecure Suite is driven by scripts written in the CARLa Auditing and Reporting Language (CARLa). For this reason, it is often called the CARLa engine. It processes RACF, SMF, and other types of information. This program is a part of zSecure Admin, zSecure Audit, zSecure Alert, zSecure Visual, zSecure Adapters for SIEM, and zSecure Manager for RACF® z/VM®.

The program is sometimes referred to as the CKRCARLA program. In the current release, the actual CKRCARLA program is a stub program that invokes either the CKR4Z196 or CKR8Z12 program to do the actual work. These programs are sometimes referred to as the 31-bit addressing and 64-bit addressing CARLa engines.

This chapter describes the messages that the CARLa engine issues on the mainframe. These messages are prefixed with unique message identifiers in the form CKRnnnn or CKRnnnI, where nnnn and nnn indicate the unique message value. The message identifier is followed by a severity code.

The general meaning of the CARLa engine severity codes and completion code are:

00

Normal message, giving status or summary information, or a message indicating a decision taken.

04

Can be a general warning, or an error condition found as a result of VERIFY or REPORT processing. Removal of the error condition can be attempted by means of a command generated by zSecure (if CKRCMD was allocated).

08

Error condition usually found as a result of VERIFY or REPORT processing. No commands can be generated by zSecure to remove the error.

12

Syntax error in the command input.

16

Entitlement problem or invalid or unsupported files connected to zSecure.

20

Unsupported condition found in security database, VTOC or VVDS, or in volume sharing.

24

Internal error or other unexpected and unsupported condition detected in zSecure.

32

RETURN or JUMP key used.

Messages are included in subsections, grouped by the hundred message-numbers.
