Issue/Introduction

An ACF2 GENCERT command was issued to create a digital certificate, but abends with following information:

IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT
SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=EC6  REASON CODE=0F01C008
TIME=14.32.42  SEQ=01999  CPU=0000  ASID=00FF

What is the cause of this error?

 

Resolution

The GENCERT command requires the user to have a full OMVS profile. The reason code 0F01C008 means "unable to be dubbed", which ultimately means the user does not have a full OMVS profile - both USER and GROUP profiles are required.

Example set up an OMVS profile for user01:

ACF 
SET PROFILE(USER) DIV(OMVS) 
INSERT user01 HOME(/u/lpp/user01) omvspgm(/bin/sh) uid(1) 
SET PROFILE(GROUP)  DIV(OMVS) 
INSERT omvsgrp GID(1) 
SET LID 
CHANGE user01 GROUP(omvsgrp) 
END
