Issue/Introduction:

If the SERVAUTH resource is currently defined with NOMASK how is it SET to allow MASKING?

If the SERVAUTH resource is currently defined with NOMASK
E.G
RESOURCE CLASS = SERVAUTH RESOURCE CODE = X'063' POSIT = 558 ATTRIBUTE = NOMASK,MAXOWN(08),MAXPERMIT(064),ACCESS,PRIVPGM ACCESS = NONE(0000),CONTROL(0400),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000) ACCESS = WRITE(2000),ALL(FFFF) DEFACC = READ
How is MASKING enabled for this resource type.

Environment:

z/os

Resolution:

The command for setting MASKING on RESOURCE CLASS SERVAUTH is

TSS REPL(RDT) RESCLASS(SERVAUTH) ATTR(MASK)
Before changing the RESOURCE to MASKABLE, first REVOKE all PERMITS, and then REMOVE the ownership.
At this point the command can be issued.
After changing the ATTR put back the ownership and permits removed.
