XCM7050 ERROR RECEIVED DURING FILE TRANSFER FROM XCOM for z/OS

Products

Issue/Introduction

This is a new setup we did recently, and we are trying to receive a mainframe file on our AS/400 using TCP/IP XCOM. We have specified a valid user ID and password to the mainframe team to send the file but it did not work. This is from the XCOM log:

• XCM7050 ... Message . . . . :    Error while checking password for user user_ID
• CPF2204 User Profile &1 Not Found.

Note: user_ID is masked out from the original.

Environment

• XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/OS
• XCOM™ Data Transport® for AS/400 i5/OS

Cause

Password needed to be in upper case for AS/400.

Resolution

The AS/400 typically has all USERIDs in UPPERCASE. Placing the USERID in UPPERCASE resolved the security error.

Additional Information
