Troubleshooting
Problem
After upgrading z/OS, NetView, and SAz/OS, a user Rexx exec that uses the OPCAMOD command was no longer working.
Symptom
No error message, but noticed the following security message when the command was manually issued (expected because the user ID was not authorized):
EQQX121E You are not authorized to UPDATE on FIXED RESOURCE CP - FROM=RAD3
Cause
NetView Update authority to a resource called IBMOPC was lost.
Diagnosing The Problem
First used the SAz/OS Global trace (AOCTRACE ON) to isolate the two Rexx execs giving the non zero return codes.
Then used the following Debug commands to confirm the OPCAMOD command was also receiving a similar EQQX121E message:
AOCTRACE EVJRVSU0,ON
AOCTRACE EVJRYRQ0,ON
Resolving The Problem
This issue was resolved by granting NetView Update authority in RACF to the IBMOPC resource.
Note: As per the AOFEXC21 topic, you can use the command INGOPC REQ=MOD.
