ICH408I OMVS Segment incompletely defined

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

We are getting the error message "ICH408I  OMVS Segment incompletely defined" when we use Vantage from our windows server that is up and running all the time. We just did a Vantage upgrade. Can you help explain what I would need to do, or ask my RACF team what to define to fix this OMVS error? Here replace userID with the Started task user id. ICH408I USER(userID) GROUP(xxxxxxxx) NAME(yyyyyyyy) 677 CL(PROCESS ) OMVS SEGMENT INCOMPLETELY DEFINED

Environment

Vantage

Additional Information

For this user, the fix that resolved their problem was to replace 'userId' with the started task user Id and update to use the correct home folder location:

altuser userId omvs( +
uid(nnnnnn) +
home('/util/batch/vantage') +
program('/bin/nologon'))
