z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes
SA23-2291-00

ICH556I
RACF MANAGER INVOCATION FOR RVARY ENDED DUE TO ERROR. RETURN CODE = X'nnnnnnnn'.

Explanation

This message is the result of a failure during the propagation of an RVARY request to members of the RACF® data sharing group. This error was encountered during an attempt to refresh RACF control information from a newly activated master data set. The refresh might not be completed.

The RACF manager cannot complete the requested operation because of a system error or a problem with the RACF database. The return code is a RACF manager return code that is not recognized by the command processor that invoked the RACF manager.

System action

Command processing completes, but RACF system options might not be refreshed.

Operator response

Report this message to your systems programmer.

System programmer response

Determine the RACF manager problem. After the problem is corrected, RVARY INACTIVE and RVARY ACTIVE can be issued against the master data set to ensure that RACF control information is correctly refreshed.

Problem determination

If there is an error in the RACF database, the RACF manager issues message ICH411I preceding this message. See this message for information about how to resolve the problem.

Note: If the user is not receiving write-to-programmer messages, message ICH411I is not received. To receive this message, issue the TSO/E command PROFILE WTPMSG MSGID and rerun the RACF command or utility.

Check the list of RACF manager return codes in RACF manager return codes. If the return code is listed, the explanation helps you investigate the problem. If the return code is not listed or relates to a problem with RACF (as opposed to a problem you can fix in the RACF database), report the complete text of this message to your IBM® support center.

For certain return codes, this message might be issued because there is a bad profile in the RACF database. To find the bad profile, enter the SEARCH command. With a bad profile in the database, this command is likely to fail also. The profile after the last one listed is probably the bad profile. Because this command might take a long time to run and might produce many lines of output, you might want to run the command in batch mode.
