z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes

IRR62063I
Zero segment count found during [MAP | INDEX] processing for entry at offset offset.

Explanation

A segment count of zero was detected in an index entry beginning at offset offset. This is an incorrect state in that all index entries should have one or more segments.

System action

Utility processing continues. A return code of 8 is issued. BAM allocation errors (BAM=ALLOC ACTUAL=UNALLOC) are flagged during MAP processing for valid entries in the block containing the failing entry.

For index processing, statistics are not compiled for the failing index block. Validation continues with the next index entry.

Map processing stops for the failing block. It continues with the next block.

Programmer response

A dump is provided for the index block in error if INDEX was requested. The offset of the index entry containing the incorrect segment count is included in this message text. (If only MAP processing was requested, running IRRUT200 another time requesting INDEX FORMAT can help identify the block in which the error occurred.) Determine whether it is easier to delete or correct this entry. In either case, see z/OS Security Server RACF Diagnosis Guide for index entry formats.

If it is decided that the entry should be deleted, do so by using the BLKUPD command. After deletion, MAP processing shows BAM allocation errors (BAM=ALLOC ACTUAL=UNALLOC) for the BAM associated with the deleted profile. These errors can be resolved by using the RACF® database utility (IRRUT400).

If it is decided that the entry should be corrected, do so by using BLKUPD.

Upon completion of index entry correction or deletion, IRRUT200 must be run against the updated database to ensure complete validation. IRRUT200 bypasses validation for index entries containing a zero segment count. Data block verification is bypassed during map processing for all entries in the data block following the entry in error.
