Issue/Introduction
Initiating a connection between Omegamon for z/OS and the RMF Task 'GPMSERVE'.
To initiate a connection between Omegamon for z/OS and the RMF Task 'GPMSERVE', which uses PassTickets, a SAF Trace of 'GPMSERVE' may show:
==============================================================================
SMFID= AAWR TOD= 14:27:40.99 TRACEID= PT USERID= SS#$
JOBNAME= RMFSERVE ASID= 0099 PGM= BPXPTATT CURR RB= BPXPTATT
SFR/RFR= 8/48:0 MODE= TASK APF= AUTHORIZED LOCKS= NONE
SAFDEF= VERIFY INTERNAL MODE= GLOBAL
RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY,REQSTOR='SAFOEACE',RELEASE=7760,SYSTEM=YES,

ERROROPT=ABEND,LOG=ASIS,MSGSP=0,MSGSUPP=YES,NESTED=NO,
PASSCHK=YES,PASSWRD='*SUPPRESSED*',USERID='OMG',WORKA=
==============================================================================
...and the RACF Reason Code 48, in the 'SFR/RFR= 8/48:0' line above, the explanation given of the RACF Reason Code '48' doesn't make it easy to resolve this problem. What does it really mean?
Environment
Resolution
The installation of Omegamon to use RMF, to communicate, the Omegamon Sub System ID will run as a Started Task. This means that ACF2 will require this Omegamon Sub System to have the 'STC' bit turned on. But, with the PassTicket support turned on and when GPMSERVE engages with the Omegamon Sub System, ACF2 will get an error. Basically, an ID with the 'STC' bit can't be used to authenticate as an ID that logs on. You will need to remove the 'STC' bit and set a switch in the Global Systems Options (GSO) to allow this ID to run as a Started Task and also a Logon. Therefore, this means the STC GSO Record needs to be used.
Additional Information
In summary:
1.) Don't put the 'STC' bit on, on the Logonid.
2.) In the STC Record, make the LOGONID() and the STCID() both be the same, matching the Procname and the Logonid.
