Issue/Introduction
In the ACFRPTOM report, the following getUMAP or getGMAP events are seen:
getGMAP USER001 SYSPROG 0 20 8 8 4
11/02/15 15.306 12.59.41 USER001 I21A I21A
Failed - GID not defined or group not defined as OpenMVS group
GID value: 7
Map name: Search by GID, return groupname
getUMAP T2184PK SYSPROG 0 20 8 8 4
11/04/15 15.308 13.56.57 T2184PK I21A I21A
Failed - UID not defined or user not defined as OpenMVS user
UID value: 23456
Map name: Search by UID, return userid
Environment
Release:
Component: ACF2
Cause
The getUMAP or getGMAP errors seen in the ACFRPTOM report are due to a file or directory that has a UID or GID assigned to it, but no User or Group Profile record associated with the UID or GID. When a USS service is invoked to display the UID or GID, a USS getUMAP or getGMAP callable service is invoked to request the associated user or group. If there is no user or group for the UID or GID, the USS getUMAP or getGMAP callable service fails with the 8/8:4 return codes.
Typically these errors occur when a user (logonid) with a unique User and Group Profile creates files or directories in USS and subsequently the user's logonid, User and Group Profile are deleted. Since the USS permission bits retain the UID and GID of the user that created the file or directory, the associated user or group profile record for that UID or GID no longer exists, and any getUMAP or getGMAP calls fail with the 8/8:4 return codes.
Resolution
To verify if there is a User or Group Profile for a specific UID or GID, the following ACF2 TSO ACF command can be issued.
ACF
show omvs user(23456)
ACF
show omvs group(7)
To eliminate these events, there are two options:
1) Create a User or Group Profile record for the UID or UID identified in the ACFRPTOM report.
2) Change the USS permissions of the files or directories associated with the UID or GID indentified in the ACFRPTOM report.
