Issue/Introduction

Running two different MUF regions (MUFT and MUFP) on a single LPAR. They are running fine.

If issuing a  "F MUFT,STATUS" command to the MUFT STC, it doesn't return any info.

If issuing a  "F MUFP,STATUS" command to the MUFP STC, it returns the expected results.

Cause

The user is not authorized to issue the STATUS command to the MUFT region, as outlined by this RACF message on MUFT joblog:

ICH408I USER(uuuuuu ) GROUP(gggg    ) NAME(xxxxxxxxx    )  
  cxxname.DBUTLTY.COMM.STATUS CL([email protected]  )                             
  INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY                                        
  FROM cxxname.* (G)                                                   
  ACCESS INTENT(READ   )  ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE   )         

Environment

Release : any

Component : CA Datacom/AD, CA Datacom/DB

Resolution

Provide the user the correct ESM (External Security Manager) access rights to the MUFT region.
