Issue/Introduction
A job is terminated with "ACF99910 ACF2, VIOLATION EXCESSION, CANCELLED" but MAXVIO is set to 10 and there was only one dataset violation.
Environment
Release : 16.0
Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS
Cause
The GSO OPTS MAXVIO parameter specifies the maximum number of security violations that can occur in a single job or TSO session before CA-ACF2 for z/OS terminates the job.
Resolution
Resource violations are counted in addition to dataset violations, however only dataset violations cause the MAXVIO threshold value to be checked. For example, if MAXVIO is set to 10, and there are 10 resource violations, and a dataset violation occurs, then the job will be cancelled because of excessive violations with the "ACF99910 ACF2, VIOLATION EXCESSION, CANCELLED" message.
Note: The logonid NOMAXVIO setting will prevent the job from being cancelled due to the MAXVIO threshold being exceeded. Logonids with this attribute will never be canceled with S222 and the associated ACF99910 message.
Additional Information
Refer to the CA ACF2 Technical Documentation at Logonid Record Fields and Global System Option (GSO) OPTS record for additional details.
