The Spool Roscoe menu interface is not using the correct userid.

Products

• Spool

Issue/Introduction

When the Spool menu interface is used from Roscoe after the release 11.7 upgrade, the userid assigned to the started task ( e.g. ROSCOE) is displayed.
If that userid has not been added to the security interface, the user can experience security errors reported by ESFPOPEN calls such as status codes 21 and 32.

 

 

 

Environment

Release: Output Management Spool for z/OS 14.0

Resolution

For Spool 14.0:

1) Set the ESFPARM parameter SUBSAPI=ROSCOE
2) Issue the command F ESF,REINIT,MODULES,ON
3) Recycle the Spool started task

For older releases:

The Spool release 11.7 PTF RO49539 provides a new version of the BQ4JIUCL member that is distributed in the CBQ4JCL dataset.
Those changes require this member to be customized again and then submitted for execution.
You are also required to follow and check that all the Roscoe installation steps found in the Spool Customization Guide have been completed.
Once completed, issue the REINIT,MODULES,ON command against the Spool Started Task as follows:

/F ESF,REINIT,MODULES,ON

Recycle the Spool started task and confirm that the expected userid is set and used instead of the userid assigned to the Roscoe started task.
