z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes

ICH408I
OMVS SEGMENT INCOMPLETELY DEFINED

Explanation

An attempt was made to dub a process and the OMVS segment in the current user's USER profile has no z/OS UNIX user identifier (UID) assigned or the profile for either the user's current connect group or the user's default group does not have an z/OS® UNIX group identifier (GID) assigned. Both the current connect group and default group must have GIDs.

System action

RACF® returns an error return code to the invoking system function, which returns an error return code to the application caller or causes the calling task to abend. See z/OS UNIX System Services Programming: Assembler Callable Services Reference to determine the action of the syscall functions.

Programmer response

Provide appropriate information about the failure to the user of your program, based on the function invoked and the return codes received. If you were expecting a UID or GID to be automatically assigned during processing of the BPX.UNIQUE.USER profile in the FACILITY class, the service might fail for one of the following reasons:
  • The BPX.UNIQUE.USER profile is not defined.
  • The UNIXPRIV class SHARED.IDS profile is not defined.
  • The RACF database is not converted to stage 3 of application identity mapping.
  • The BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class is not defined.
  • The BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class does not define a valid UID or GID range.
  • The range defined in the BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class has no remaining UID or GID values.
See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for more information about automatically assigning UIDs and GIDs. There might also be symptom records in the LOGREC data set that can be used to help diagnose the error. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for more information about possible symptom records.
