Issue/Introduction

The RACF database is full:

15.20.51 STC32936  IRR405I INSUFFICIENT SPACE ON RACF DATA SET  351                        
   351                     PRIMARY RACF DATA SET SEQUENCE 001,                              
   351                     SYS1.RACF.PRIMARY                                                

The Solve:Access region gets a S483-014 abend:

15.20.51 STC32936 *ICH409I 483-014 ABEND DURING RACINIT PROCESSING                          
15.20.58 STC32936  IEA794I SVC DUMP HAS CAPTURED:  390                                      
   390             DUMPID=001 REQUESTED BY JOB (SOLVE )                                  
   390             DUMP TITLE=ICHRST00-RACF SVCS,ABEND CODE=483-014,SVC=ICHRIN00,U          
   390                        SER=STCUSER ,GROUP=STC     ,EXIT=ICHRIN00                    
   390             DUMP CAPTURED USING OPTIMIZE=YES     

then it gets an N-268-01 abend:

15.20.58 STC32936 *N01101 SOLVE ABEND N-268-01 ID=PROTECT JN=SOLVE   DT=2023156 TM=15205393
15.20.58 STC32936 *N01102 SRC=AB PRD=SOLVE INTLVL=060700 SP=0000 ABC=N-268-01              
15.20.58 STC32936 *N01103 ALM=NM013 ALO=00004704 ACS=NM000268 ACO=0000016C                  

and finally abends with a U4095.

 

Is it correct that the Solve region abends when the RACF database is full?

Environment

Release : any

Products: NetMaster/Solve

Resolution

Any failure of the External Security Manager (ESM) subsystem (RACF, Top Secret, ACF2) results in the Solve/NetMaster security subtask terminating and then an N-268-01 abend by the main task.
