Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to z/OS 2.5  found that the AOPSTART started task (z/OS Infoprint) fails with the following error...

AOP003E /usr/lpp/Printsrv/bin/aopd: EDC5164I SAF/RACF error. errno2=0xb1b0804  
aopstart: AOP076E The start of daemon aopd failed.

Resolution

Regarding error on new z/OS 2.5…

AOP003E /usr/lpp/Printsrv/bin/aopd: EDC5164I SAF/RACF error. errno2=0xb1b0804  
aopstart: AOP076E The start of daemon aopd failed.    

Need to verify that all the related OMVS permissions are defined. 

 

Run the ACFRPTOM report to verify which violations are coming up.

Use the following sample JCL to run the report:

//REPORT  EXEC PGM=ACFRPTOM           

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*    

//*RECMANx SHOULD POINT TO YOUR SMF MANx FILES            

//RECMAN1  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN1 

//RECMAN2  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN2 

//RECMAN3  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN3 

//SYSIN    DD *

DETAIL                                

/*                

On the RECMAN1 DD please use the SMF MANx file that was active at the time of the EDC5164I SAF/RACF error.

 

From the ACFRPTOM, review all the related OMVS permissions.

For example:

Failed - GID not defined or group not defined as OpenMVS group  
 GID value:              444                                    

Verify the files in the Infoprint directory have a group value which matches the one which is in the OMVSGRP.

Review the Print Server definition in Infoprint

Example command:

# cd /usr/lpp/Printsrv/bin                                       
# ls -l            

AOPSTART tries to execute "aopd" which must have the same defined GID value for OMVSGRP.
