Issue/Introduction

When attempting to enable Enhanced Object Security in Visual DBA, a user attempting to connect gets an error message "Failed to create empty document" and the connection is not successful.

Environment

Component. Visual DBA
Release: All supported releases.

Cause

User profile processing is not available in the CV.

To perform this function, internally Visual DBA uses User Profiles and executes a DCUF SHOW PROFILE programmatically. If user profiles are not functioning in the CV (e.g. with USRPROF=(OFF) in the INITIAL #SECRTT macro of the RHDCSRTT assembly, the above error results.

Resolution

Make sure USRPROF in the INITIAL #SECRTT macro of the RHDCSRTT assembly is not set to OFF.
