Diagnosing The Problem

Review the z/OSMF log and look for the following messages:

IZUG1120E: An error occurred. The common event adapter (CEA) component returned reason code 0x32d and diagnostic codes 0x4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0.

IZUG899E: The request could not be completed because an error occurred. Error: "null" com.ibm.zoszmf.util.tso.LauncherException: CEA TSO launcher called function: CEA_TSO_PING, returned reason code: 0x32d, diagnostic codes: 0x4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0

Resolving The Problem

The key in these messages is the CEA_TSO_PING with returned reason code 0x32d.
This reason code indicates that the user is not authorized to make the request.

The problem could be caused by the CEA profiles in the SERVAUTH class not set-up correctly. Here is a list of the profiles:
  • CEA.CEADOCMD
  • CEA.CEAPDWB.CEADELETEINCIDENT
  • CEA.CEAPDWB.CEAGETINCIDENT
  • CEA.CEAPDWB.CEASETINCIDENTINFO
  • CEA.CEAPDWB.CEASETPROBLEMTRACKINGNUMBER
  • CEA.CEAGETPS

Or the SERVAUTH class is not active.
These commands are found in job SYS1.SAMPLIB(CFZSEC) and are also described in APAR OA45537: "DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED FOR THE PECEA STEP IN CFZSEC"
