                    RESOURCE  TYPE & NAME :   ALT-ACID  ACID=DEVUSR   JOB=TS0042JK

DEVUSR acid not defined to Top Secret but DEVUSRS is defined.                                       

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

Issue a TSS MODIFY STATUS and see what is specified for SUBACID and JOBACID.

 

Make sure you have (U,8) and not (U,7) which will truncate the acid.



SUBACID and JOBACID control how the job inherits the acid and how much many characters of the submitting acid is used for the job if there is no USER= in the job.
