Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

EJBROLES use the RACROUTE FASTAUTH call.  In ACF2, rules for FASTAUTH calls must be in a globally resident directory.
 
SET CONTROL(GSO) 
CHANGE INFODIR TYPES(R-REJB)
F ACF2,REFRESH(INFODIR)
F ACF2,REBUILD(EJB)
 
This will load the rules into resident storage, as will any IPL.
