Issue/Introduction

NJE batch jobs from an ACF2 system to a RACF system fails with message:

ICH408I USER(userid ) GROUP(groupname ) NAME(user name) SUBMITTER(????????) LOGON/JOB INITIATION - SUBMITTER IS NOT AUTHORIZED BY USER.

The user is defined to both systems with exactly the same userid/password specified. Why is this error occurring?

Resolution

Check the ACF2 GSO NJE parameters for this connection. The ENCRYPT parameter is only valid for ACF2 to ACF2 systems. It needs to be set to NOENCRYPT for a RACF system.

A separate NJE record for this one system may need to be created if using a masked record that is shared by multiple systems.
