Environment

Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

AUTOUID automatically assigns a UID value when there is an active GSO AUTOIDOM record that specifies ASSIGNU. AUTOUID is implied if AUTOUID or UID are not specified on an insert command and there is an active GSO AUTOIDOM record that specifies ASSIGNU. In this instance UID(123,521) is assigned by AUTOUID.

Client's logonid does not have any GROUP assigned. A group is mandatory to have before accessing OMVS. The HOME and PGM section get assigned after user tries to access the OMVS.

Here is an example:

List logonid before OMVS access:

RESTRICTIONS         GROUP(OMVSGRP) PREFIX(ABCD05)
  OMVS / ABCD05 LAST CHANGED BY ABCD05 ON 01/14/20-10:18
                       UID(1,000)

List logonid output after OMVS access:

OMVS / ABCD05       HOME(/u/abcd05) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(1,000)
