HD78371: REPADMIN CONTEXT CAN NO LONGER ACCESS THE REPLICATION MANAGER

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• RepAdmin context can no longer access the
  Replication Manager
  .
  Scenario:
  RepAdmin context can no longer access the
  Replication
  Manager with the same P&O that is in R17.
  .
  The clue was used to find the solution:
  .
  "In order to run the P&O editor, you must select a
  context
  .
  associated with a privilege authorizing the
  VPMAdmin.LOGIN
  process".
  .
  The unclear statement in LifeCycle Administration
  Guide,
  section Managing Replication Packages, About
  Managing
  Replication Package:
  .
  "You must have ADMIN privileges to be able to edit
  the packages, otherwise, you can only examine the
  packages."
  .
  Well, in order to examine the packages the context
  required VPMAdmin.LOGIN process, otherwise
  could not even start Package Manager.
  .
  The How to Manage Replication Packages section is
  in error. It says in step 1 that after catstart -run
  ManagePackages then the
  Package Manager window will appear. In fact,
  the "Welcome to application VPMAdmin" window
  appears where the user must select their context.
  .
  Need to request that correction, and clarification of
  granting VPMAdmin.LOGIN to the desired context
  before it is listed in the pull down.
  .
