While trying to use the "DEBUG" function on a Prod status IDEAL Program, the user is getting error:
IDAETERR64 - User not authorized for program
How can this be resolved?
z/OS
The user running the DEBUG command does not have the necessary privilege to debug PROD status programs.
Running the Debugger in general requires that the user must have UPDATE access to the Ideal system containing the programs being tested. Further, to run Debug against Prod status programs, the user must also have Ideal Administrator privileges (this assumes that the default authorizations have not been changed).
To determine the level of access for the user and the level of access needed, do the following:
Since granting Ideal Administrator access just to Debug Prod status programs has significant security ramifications, it is recommended that the Prod status program be copied (DUP PGM) to a new, Test status version, and then the user can run Debug against that version to recreate the problem. Once the Debug activity is done, either delete the test version, or make corrections to it and promote it as usual.
For more information on using the Ideal Debug processing and the security levels needed, please review the documentation for the Symbolic Debugger
