TSS WHOOWNs shows double ownership

Issue/Introduction

TSS WHOOWNS SDSF(xxxxx) and TSS WHOOWNS DSN(xxxxx) sometimes show double ownership (two ACIDs as the owner) for certain SDSF and DSN resources.

Resolution

There was a bug about 20 years ago that caused broken pointers.

A fix was written to prevent the problem, but records that already had broken pointers needed to be repaired.

Broken pointers only affect TSS WHOOWNs and TSS WHOHAS reporting and nothing else in Top Secret.

To manually repair each resource:

1. Move ownership to another acid:
   TSS ADD(USER2) DSN(xxxxxxx) UNDERCUT
2. Move back to original owner:
   TSS ADD(USER1) DSN(xxxxxxx) UNDERCUT
3. Revoke resource from acids or PROFILEs
   TSS REVOKE(acid) DSN(xxxxxxx)
4. Re-PERMIT resource to acids
   TSS REVOKE(acid) DSN(xxxxxxx) ACCESS(accesslevel)
5. Issue a TSS WHOOWNs to confirm the problem is corrected.
   TSS WHOHAS DSN(xxxxxxx)

TSSXTEND WHOHAS can be used to automate the broken pointer repair process.
