Troubleshooting
Problem
If BPX_DEFAULT_USER is not configured correctly, there can be security errors with USERIDs for TWSz with End to End. Setting certain variables such as HOME, PROGRAM and UID correctly are essential for OMVS access.
Cause
The following errors may be seen when submitting CP EXTEND, CP REPLAN, SYMPHONY RENEW, EQQRXTRG, EQQDBARC, and other jobs that require OMVS (USS) processing:
EQQ3053E EQQsyncr : EFFECTIVE USERID NOT GOTTEN
EQQ3099E THE REASON OF THE PREVIOUS ERROR IS:
EQQ3099I EDC5164I SAF/RACF error.
This indicates a problem with either the user settings or the settings in RACF for BPX.DEFAULT.USER.
Resolving The Problem
The best way to configure USERIDs that will be running TWS E2E or submitting jobs with TWS E2E is to ensure that all USERIDs have explicitly defined OMVS segments.
If that is not possible, the BPX_DEFAULT_USER profile needs to be correctly defined with valid HOME, PROGRAM and UID values. A userid with no explicitly defined OMVS segment assumes the characteristics defined in BPX.DEFAULT.USER in RACF and needs these three variables set in a valid manner so that the user is able to do work as needed for TWS E2E.
In addition, APARs such as PK01415 have tightened security while giving better messages to help diagnose security issues.
