Products

• ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Changed CICS transaction rules to be globally resident instead of locally resident.

SET C(GSO)                       
CHA INFODIR TYPES(R-RCKC) ADD
F ACF2,REFRESH(INFODIR)
F ACF2,REBUILD(CKC)

Validations are not preventing users from accessing the transactions even though rules are written correctly to prevent access. 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

1. Try resetting the CICS session cache. See ACF2/CICS documentation section RC-Resource Control
   
   It is good practice to always issue a reset whenever an F ACF2,REBUILD(xxx) command is issued. 
    
2. Verify the PROTLIST and SAFELIST definitions. If a transaction is on the SAFELIST, and not on the PROTLIST, then a validation for the transaction will not take place. See ACF2 documentation section Resource Validation for more information.
