Issue/Introduction

After upgrading CA Datacom/DB 15.1 from version 15.0, the 15.1 MUF startup terminated:

DB00205E - MULTI-USER ERROR - 1078                                       
DB00239I - MUF TERMINATION, START PROGRAM ABEND                          
CCSR010E DBMUFPR U0004 at 0DF50310 LMOD DBSSPPR CSECT DBSSPPR +006310 

 

Cause

The CA Datacom/DB 15.1 MUF startup options member was missing the SECURITY options that were used with 15.0.

Note the informational message in the MUF startup indicating the external security was active: 

DB00231I - EXTERNAL SECURITY LEVEL 05 ACTIVE 

 

Resolution

Ensure that any MUF startup options used in Version 15.0 are included Version 15.1 , and specifically, verify the following SECURITY statements that were missing from the 15.1 startup: 

SECURITY DBDxSSR,DBDxRAT,DBDxSCI,DBDxRSR,DBDxSQL,DBDxRCI
SECURITY DBDxSCQ,DBDxRCQ,DBDxRAQ,DBDxSQQ   

Note that the "x" in the above values represents the resource class DxTABLE created in your ESM. For example, if you use class DCTABLE, the SECURITY values would be DBDCSSR, DBDCRAT, etc. If you use class DTTABLE, then these SECURITY values would be DBDTSSR, DBDTRAT, etc.
