[DUAS] AIX 6.X - Having too many users in a single group on the system may cause the node to stop processing jobs

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

On an UNIX system, when too many users belong to the same group (in /etc/group), the DUAS jobs will abort.

Environment

Release : 6.8

Component : DOLLAR UNIVERSE

Cause

System limit

Resolution

Use different group names with the same GID (Group ID).
Eg :

TOOL (GDI 101) : 2000 users

TOOL1 (GDI 101) : 2000 users

 

Because the GDI is the same, the permission will work the exact same way for both groups.
