Error: ESP4113W Simulation Access Denied Error

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to simulate events in an ESP Workload Automation Master/Proxy configuration, users receive the following error message:

ESP4113W User [User_ID] denied access to User ID [User_ID] in Appl [Appl_Name]

Environment

• ESP Workload Automation (All releases)
• Master/Proxy configuration

Cause

The security facility may be truncating resource names during authorization calls in the Master/Proxy environment, leading to access denials during event simulation.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, enable USERMOD 202 on both the Master and Proxy systems.

1. Issue the following command from the ESP page mode on the Master system: /f [master_name],usermod SET(202)
2. Issue the following command from the ESP page mode on the Proxy system: /f [proxy_name],usermod SET(202)

Persistent Configuration:

To ensure this configuration persists after an IPL, add the USERMOD 202 parameter to the ESPPARM member:

USERMOD SET(202)

Additional Information

For further guidance on USERMOD 202, refer to the USERMOD 202.

If the issue persists, ensure the security class is correctly configured.
For security class issues, refer to ESP Security errors after applying PTF LU11648.
