Error description

  • Intermittently, C2POLICE (Alert) will produce the following
    message:
    
    IRR421I ACEE modification detected
    for user P9KZALRT in address space ID 0x0000004C running under
    user
    P9KZALRT and job name P9KZALRT while program CKR8Z12  is
    running.
    The RACF function detecting the modification is IRRRCK00.
    Rsn=0x40000000.  (ACEEPRIV is ON).  Occurrences 1.
    Resource=TORHYP.P9KZALRT.P9KZALRT.STC06781.D0000106.?(JESSPOOL).
    Call chain: CKR8Z12 <- CKRCARLA <- C2PRPTHR <- C2PRPTRT <-
    C2POLICE
    
    This situation should not occur and is a timing issue
    between the reporting and collection tasks.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Alert exploiting extended   *
    *                 monitoring alerts.                           *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: z/OS RACF might issue a MSGIRR421I in   *
    *                      cases where zSecure extended monitoring *
    *                      alerts are active. This might occur if  *
    *                      the data collection sub-task is         *
    *                      executing at the moment when the        *
    *                      reporting sub-task  accesses RACF       *
    *                      protected resources.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided and revert the        *
    *                 documentation changes mentioned in the APAR  *
    *                 OA62634 tracking comment data.               *
    ****************************************************************
    When zSecure Alert has extended monitoring alerts active,
    a zSecure Collect sub-task is used to retrieve z/OS UNIX
    related data. z/OS RACF might issue a MSGIRR421I with
    text "ACEE modification detected ..." for another sub-task
    that requires access to RACF protected resources.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Collect has been modified, so that no MSGIRR421I is
    issued in cases where zSecure Alert is configured to use
    extended monitoring alerts. Please note that the documentation
    changes mentioned in the APAR OA62634 tracking comment data are
    reverted back to the original text.
