Issue/Introduction

Attempting to switch package security to be driven by the Endevor External security package; the PKGSEC parm has been set to Migrate but it does not seem to be working and the ESI is not showing anything.

Environment

Release:
Component: ENDBAS

Resolution

The PKGSEC parm has three options:

Approver:  This will restrict package actions post cast to those defined with the attached approver group.

ESI: This will restrict package actions post cast to those defined by the in-house security package (ACF2, Top SECRET or RACF0)

Migrate: This is used when a site is in transition between using Approver and ESI security.

With Migrate both are checked, but the most important fact to remember is that APPROVER rules over ESI.  
If a user is granted access via APPROVER, ESI is not called. 
ESI will only be called if the user attempting the action is not a member of any attached approver group to the package.
