I have a BMC Mainview process that gets a INITUSP failure with 8:8/28 return code. Can you advise how to correct this?
The ACFRPTOM report shows the following:
SERVICE USERID GROUP UID GID SAF RC RSN
DATE TIME JOBNAME SOURCE SYSID CPU SECLABEL
initUSP xxxxxx * 0 0 8 8 28
08/08/16 16.221 2.26.25 xxxxxx 3081 3081
Failed - Current group incompletely defined as OpenMVS group
Environment
Component: ACF2MS
Resolution
During the z/OS IPL certain addresses spaces may initialize prior to the point when ACF2
is fully initialized. Those address spaces may not be able to successfully complete initUSP
processing at z/OS 2.1 or above. The problem occurs because the group field in the ACEE
for those address spaces contains '*' which does not match a group/GID defined to the
ESM and the BPX.DEFAULT.USER GID is no longer used at z/OS 2.1 and above.
To address the INITUSP failure related to the Mainview task BBMCAS that initializes early
in the IPL process it is strongly recommended that ACF2 is started as early as possible
during system initialization using the CAISEC00 member in SYS1.PARMLIB.
We recommend creating a member called CAISEC00 in SYS1.PARMLIB to contain
the ACF2 START commands. In CAISEC00, each entry specifies whether to start
the ACF2 started task using the START command (that is, S ACF2 for CA ACF2)
and points to other members of SYS1.PARMLIB. These SYS1.PARMLIB members
contain additional operands for the START command and can e used to change
default options.
See the ACF2 Installation section 'Start CA ACF2' for detailed information
about starting each started task and about using CAISEC00.
