Issue/Introduction
Regarding solution document SO09116, please help to clarify the scope of the error that is resolved in this solution document. SO09116 appears to reference messages generated by Top Secret.
Does this mean that this error only impacts users of Top Secret or are users of other security managers, such as RACF and ACF2, also affected?
Environment
Release : Disk Backup and Restore 12.5
Resolution
The VSAM data set that must be released is not authorized. The Release perform fails and return back to the previous state for the data set is not brought back DSORG to its original state. This can be reproduced by giving read access only to the person who submit the release of this data set.
The VSAM release failed and the INDEX component returns as PS DSORG which is bad.
So as the description state into the PTF the security failure (S913) provokes an abend S0C4 into the Release job.
Additional Information
After applying PTF SO09116, if the user executes IDLE-SPACE-RELEASE job with a User-ID lower than RACF READ authority for the VSAM data set, does Disk r12.5 printing warning message and bypass IDLE-SPACE-RELEASE process?
If we get no zero-return code, then we don't update the catalog and VTOC.
If you have a list of data sets to be released and one of them is not authorized as UPDATE for you, then we let the security tool send the S913-38 message and set a return code 8 associated with messages 2132 and 9999 into the MSGPRINT.
Before the PTF is applied, run RELEASE and received S913-38 with S0C4. The DSORG for the INDEX component is changed to PS.
With the PTF applied, run RELEASE and received S913-38 with RC8. The DSORG for the INDEX component is not changed and stay as VS.
Additional messages are now written into the RELEASE output job to point you on the S913 data set name in cause.
