Issue/Introduction

A new logonid was created  for TMON with a UID and GID so that it can use USS services.
An error shows in ACFRPTOM that the logonid does not have a complete omvs profile

 initUSP TMONXX OMVSGRP N / A N / A 8 8 24
25/03/19 19.084 9.31.26 TMONXX SYSX SYSX 
Failed - User incompletely defined as OpenMVS user 

A SHOW OMVS command was issued and it showed the UID and GID are both defined.

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

8/8:24 for initusp request means that the user is not correctly setup for OMVS processing.
If the user and group profiles are setup correctly and show in SHOW OMVS output as a valid UID and GID that was defined ,
check to see if the user has NO-OMVS.
If NO-OMVS is set on the logonid it means that the user is not allowed to use omvs.
The resolution is to remove NO-OMVS

SET LID
CHANGE logonid NONO-OMVS
