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



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

*For this example DEVUSRS is used for the ACID*                               

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.

Check to see if SUBACID and JOBACID have the (U,8) option 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.
