z/OS Security Server RACF Diagnosis Guide
GA32-0886-00
Error
Assuming the RACF® database
contains no errors because the utility runs without error. The utility
will not find all errors on a RACF database.
Errors may exist within profiles and could result in message IRR407I.
RACF DATA SET INDEX ERROR. xxx
RACF DATA SET SEQUENCE nnn, dsname SEARCH ON entry-name
where xxx is
PRIMARY or BACKUP, nnn is the database sequence
number, dsname is the data set name, and entry-name is
the type of entry.
Action
If the utility does not find any errors, list the profiles involved
using the appropriate RACF command.
Look for error messages such as NO CONNECT ENTRY FOUND or incorrect
data in fields such as OWNER.
Use the RACF commands to list and correct the profiles,
if possible. If the commands fail, use BLKUPD to correct or delete
the profiles.
RACF Sysplex Data Sharing
If RACF is enabled for sysplex communication and
the system is operating in read-only mode, you cannot use BLKUPD to
update the RACF database.
You can, however, run BLKUPD from another system (in the same data
sharing group) that is not in read-only mode.
Error
Running the utility against an active output database. Even if
there are no other users on the system, other system tasks and applications
may be accessing the RACF database.
If any changes are made to the database, the output of the utility
will not be reliable.
Action
Enter the RVARY INACTIVE or RVARY SWITCH command before running
the utility.
Error
Assuming that the run of the utility failed because a nonzero
return code was received.
Action
The return code returned is the highest return code encountered
while processing the RACF database.
A nonzero return code does not mean that the utility failed. See z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes
for details.
