Error description

  • Alert 1506 (Global Access Checking table has been changed) is
    configured for SMF Type 90 records, but uses a select which
    is only relevant to SMF type 80 records, meaning no alert
    is triggered.
    
    Alert skeleton C2PS1506 shows
    
    
    000039 )IM C2PSGNEW
    000040  select event=(RDEFINE,RALTER,RDELETE) likelist=recent
    class=GLOBAL
    000041 )CM EMAIL sortlist
    
    There are none of these events in a Type 90 record.
    Consequently, the alert will never be triggered.
