  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unexpected security exceptions can      *
  *                      occur when CICS attempts to access a    *
  *                      HFS file and a non-RACF ESM is being    *

  ****************************************************************
  When using a non-RACF ESM, unexpected security exceptions can be
  seen in CICS when attempting to access a HFS file when access
  should be granted.
  This is due to changes made in DFHXSRC to implement Vendor Table
  Support for authorised vendors.
  
  In the reporting customer's case they received the following
  message after the CHECK_HFS_FILE function reported a NOTAUTH
  condition:
  
  DFHPI0728 E date time applid userid PIPELINE pipeline
  encountered an error in the configuration file filename for the
  pipeline. The repository Axis2 configuration file element cannot
  be accessed by CICS.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHXSRC has been updated to correct this.
