In preparation for removal of OMVS defaults, I cannot get started tasks to work in OMVS. INITUSP still fails.

Issue/Introduction

In z/OS 2.1, OMVS defaults are removed.  I have followed the instructions in TEC599992 but started tasks will not start.  I have a USER profile record and GROUP profile record created on my test system, but this still fails.  The ACFRPTOM report shows the following:

initUSP RESOLVER * 0 0 8 8 28
05/06/15 15.126 11.50.00 RESOLVER SYS1 SYS1
Failed - Current group incompletely defined as OpenMVS group

The id is defined as shown below:

All the refreshes were done as needed, and even an IPL, but the RESOLVER started task still fails. 

 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

For started tasks to work properly in ACF2, the GSO OPTS record must have the STC option active.  In this case, that was set to NOSTC.  Changing to STC resolved the problem.

REQUIRED UPDATES: 

TSO ACF

SET CONTROL(GSO)

CHANGE OPTS STC

F ACF2,REFRESH(OPTS)

Then restart the started tasks with the problem, or do an IPL if needed for some started tasks.  

Additional Information

See the CA ACF2 Administrator Guide, Chapter 14:Maintaining Global System Option Records for more information on the OPTS record.
