IGD308I message issue while running COPYCAT

• CA 1 Tape Management - Copycat Utility

Issue/Introduction

Running COPYCAT and it is failing with the following error message:


IGD308I DATA SET ALLOCATION REQUEST FAILED  

RACF FUNCTION: RACHECK FOR DATA SET: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  WITH RETURN CODE 10 RExxxxxx   <(followed by a reason code)

CTC5306E Job #TMSCCAT, return code 16 in copy function step.

Resolution

This message is issued on the dataset where the USERID has had access revoked. This message will be issued even after bypassing external security for the COPYCAT(FILECOPY) utility. The dataset will not be created and instead of a standard ICH408I being issued, the IGD308I message will be issued.


For more information on how to allow users to use the Copycat utility and bypass external security when copying files (FILECOPY) without the PREFIX or PREFIX2 control statements see the CA1 FLEXIBLE STORAGE PROGRAMMING GUIDE under section:  ACF2 SECURITY SETUP, IBM RACF SECURITY SETUP or TOP SECRET SECURITY SETUP
