ACF2ACF2 - z/OS
Issue/Introduction
Using the RECKEY ADD command to add user id access to ACF2 resource keys. But in scenarios where access is provided for an ID within a NEXTKEY of the resource, RECKEY ADD on the primary key does not reflect it as a duplicate. Please advise if this is the nature how it works.
RECKEY ADD : SET RES(CKP) RECKEY ABCD ADD(UID(ABCDEFG) ALLOW)
This inserts a rule line in rule ABCD and does not validate the NEXTKEY.
Environment
Release : 16.0 Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS
Resolution
ACF2 RECKEY processing is expected in that the RECKEY will not check for duplicate entries within the NEXTKEY rules.
This was consistent with ACF2 rule definitions using PGM=ACFBCOMP and COMPILE of the primary $KEY and the duplicate was not noted if within the NEXTKEY rule.
