Local fix

  • Upgrade to zSecure 2.4.0. If this is not an option:
    
    1) Create your_userid.SCKRSLIB based on the allocation for the
    zSecure supplied hlq.SCKRSLIB
    
    2) Copy hlq.SCKRSLIB(C2PS1120) to your_userid.SCKRSLIB
    
    3) Edit your_userid.SCKRSLIB(C2PS1120) and f 'ArcSight CEF'
    
    4) Change:
    
    )SEL &C2PERCTP = CEF
    
     recno(nd) maxdatetime(cef_dt,15),
    
    
    to
    
    
    )SEL &C2PERCTP = CEF
    
     maxdatetime(cef_dt,15),
    
    
    5) Save your_userid.SCKRSLIB(C2PS1120)
    
    6) Now start the zSecure Admin UI using your_userid prefixed
    files (in this case only SCKRSLIB): TSO CKR UPREFIX(your_userid)
    
    7) Select Alert 1120 and choose the Arcsight destination
    
    8) Verify and reFresh the alert configuration
