Issue/Introduction

When trying to test PDSE compression using zEDC there is a failure for the resource call STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.PDSE.COMPACT. What is required to satisfy the EXTRACT request? Here is the information from the SECTRACE:

JOBNAME= JOB1     ASID= 00A0          PGM= ISRUDA         CURR RB= SVC099

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

A RACROUTE EXTRACT call for APPLDATA is being made, so the resource rule needs to contain the following:

• The $KEY must contain the full, unmasked resource name (due to MATCHGN=NO in the call)
  
  
• A $USERDATA control statement containing the APPLDATA information (STGADMIN calls don't care what is contained in this field, but it needs to be specified regardless)
  
  
• Do not code a SERVICE on the rule line. The rule line should be either ALLOW or PREVENT
  
  

Example: 
$KEY(STGADMIN.SMS.ALLOW.PDSE.COMPACT) TYPE(FAC)
$USERDATA(anything)
 UID(uid string -) ALLOW
