Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Cause

The Vantage task needs to have UPDATE access to the various Vantage SCRIPTS data sets (SYSTEM, GOA, AUDIT, etc.).

Resolution

The Vantage task needs UPDATE access to some of its data sets, such as the 'SCRIPTS' data sets.  Further info describing this setup can be found in this section of the Vantage Installing manual: 

Example: (IBM RACF) Set the started task LID:

Vantage needs to be able to update the USERDATA field of PDS (script) members.  If Vantage cannot find the needed info, it will try to modify this data in real time.  Also, the user should always use the Vantage Wizard to make script updates and not do this manually.
