Issue/Introduction

Two lpars in a sysplex, with separate ACF2 databases and CPF for Commands and Password sync active.
The security admin attempts to add a user in home lpar as follows:

acf
ACF
in u(test01) test02 name(...)
ACFC1199 Command sent to 01 nodes
l test02
ACF02010 RECORD(S) NOT FOUND

The user is not inserted in the current lpar. There are no error messages in the SYSLOG

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

Ensure that the home node is specified in the DFTCMD of the CPF OPTIONS record. The DFTCMD identifies the remote CA ACF2 node to which CPF can propagate commands. CA ACF2 commands will not automatically execute on the HOME node. The correct HOME node must be in this target list if you want to have commands execute on the HOME node while CPF is active.

To list the DFTCMD go to CPF records with the following commands:
