ICH14074I
WARNING: Generic profiles created with EGN in effect might not protect resources when NOEGN is in effect.

Explanation

EGN (enhanced generic naming) was in effect and NOEGN was specified on the SETROPTS command. Some generic profiles containing an * or ** that were created while EGN was in effect, do not protect any resources when NOEGN is in effect. For example, profile 'USER1.AB.**.CD' protects USER1's data sets AB.CD and AB.EF.CD when EGN is in effect. 'USER2.GH.*' protects USER2's data sets GH.IJ and GH.KL. The profiles, created when EGN was in effect, are not recognized when NOEGN is in effect and do not protect any resources.

System action

The command proceeds and NOEGN is placed in effect.

User response

Do one of the following tasks:
  • If the change to NOEGN caused some resources to become unprotected, issue SETROPTS EGN to place EGN in effect .
  • If placing NOEGN in effect does not leave resources unprotected, then no action is required.
Contact your system administrator if you need help determining whether any resources must be protected.

RACF® Security Administrator Response

Be sure that no resources are left unprotected when NOEGN is placed in effect. Use the SEARCH and LISTDSD commands to determine what profiles are defined and which profile protects a particular resource. See "Naming Considerations For Resource Profiles" in z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference for a discussion of the differences between generic profile protection with EGN and NOEGN.
