  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • REMOVE USER function incorrectly generates RDELETE for profiles
    with NOTIFY for the id being deleted.
    
    This will only occur for profiles of length less than 5.
    

Local fix

  • Check if you have any user IDs defined as NOTFIY IDs and remove
    them before deleting user IDs. This CARLa can help:
    
    n type=racf
    
    select exists(notify)
    
    sortlist class key notify

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    At user ID deletion, zSecure Admin generates  RDELETE command
    for general resource profiles with key shorter than 5 for which
    NOTIFY property has been set to the user ID being deleted.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Admin has been modified so that a RALTER NONOTIFY
    command is generated for profiles with NOTIFY property set to
    the user ID being deleted.
