Issue/Introduction

XCOM 11.6 receives the following error messages:

XCOMM0186E E5XCOM RC 04 FDBK2 04 SENSE 0846 0000 RECEIVE       
XCOMM0127E FMH7 SENSE 08890000 - GDS MSG FOLLOWS
XCOMM0854E SAF SECURITY FAILED, RV=FFFFFFFF, RC=00000070,
REAS=0B250012,ZA.DM100D.P010.M01.NAMES.S0PA

Check the contents of the REAS= of the message. In the above sample you will see that REAS= has a hex 'XXXX0012' Unix Reason Code.

Search for the meaning of the Unix Reason Code in this IBM document: z/OS UNIX reason codes

 Reason Code x'0012' indicates:

 JRMaxChild

 The maximum number of processes for this user ID has been exceeded.

Action: Ask the system programmer or system administrator to increase the MAXPROCUSER parameter of the BPXPRMxx parmlib member.

Resolution

Have your Systems Programmer and/or your Security Administrator verify:

a. If the value for MAXPROCUSER needs to be increased in the BPXPRMxx parmlib.
b. The userid in question requires a valid OMVS segment with the proper value for PROCUSER.

Note:  The rule of thumb is double your MAXTASK value to get the PROCUSER value.

MAXTASK of 500 in XCOM 11.6 will require a PROCUSER of 1000. For example:

TSS ADD(acid) PROCUSER(1000)
