Problem with SYSVIEW security command

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

Running Sysview r15, there are no security user groups set up. USERID1 is an administrator according to what is listed in CNM4SCFG(GSVXGSVX):

Administrator-Userid             USERID1  

Going into Sysview and typing the USERS commands, checking that this userid is an administrator:

 

SYSVIEW 15.0 XXXX --------- USERS, Product Users --------- 2020/03/12 11:56:38

Command ====>                                                 Scroll *===> PAGE

Formats DEFAULT CPU INTERFAC SESSION STORAGE USAGE                             

Options NOCNTL NOHCHK INTF NOSERV NOUTIL NOSSID NORELS

Cmd          Userid       Jobname      Type      Jobnr    JStat     Interface Terminal     Group     

______   USERID1    USERID1     TSU       3047      IN         ISPF         IC302PE    ADMIN     

 

However, trying to do anything in  SYSVIEW SECURITY is prohibited.  ALL of the fields on the screen are protected.0
However another ADMIN userid in the sysplex is able to overtype fields on some LPARs, but not on others.
All of the LPARs are in the same sysplex and share all the same libraries. 

Environment

SYSVIEW 15.0 & 16.0 - z/OS supported releases - 

 

Resolution

In fact, ONLY one person can update the SYSVIEW security dataset at the same time, moreover, it can take some time to pick up the change in case when security file is shared in the sysplex.
