Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Admin for RACF using the    *
    *                 copy user or recreate user line commands.    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Copy user and recreate user commands    *
    *                      can generate RACF ADDUSER command with  *
    *                      more than 283 values for CLAUTH and/or  *
    *                      ADDCATEGORY parameters. This may result *
    *                      in a ICH01028I KEYWORD OPERAND LIMIT    *
    *                      EXCEEDED error message.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When RACF ADDUSER command is generated by either copy user or
    recreate user commands, the RACF ADDUSER command may contain
    more than 283 values for CLAUTH and/or ADDCATEGORY parameters,
    which results in a ICH01028I KEYWORD OPERAND LIMIT EXCEEDED
    error message.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The functionality of zSecure Admin has been updated, so that it
    generates CLAUTH and/or ADDCATEGORY parameters not in the RACF
    ADDUSER command but rather in a subsequent RACF ALTUSER command
    to avoid CH01028I KEYWORD OPERAND LIMIT EXCEEDED error message.
