Issue/Introduction

User can browse reports from a given View database on one CPU, however they are not able to from another CPU, receiving an "Authorization Failed" message when selecting a report.

A RACLST Refresh had been done on both LPARs after the Security definitions were added. 

From the setting of SARINIT FEATURE=1, the following message were displayed:

 +SARATH92 Authorization failed IBIXS04 under ISPF RC=4.4.0 
 +SARATH92 CLASS=CHA1VIEW ENTITY=VIEWJCL.VIEW.000.P.ZACD0C0D 

Environment

• View®
• OM View for z
• Output Management View® for z/OS
• IBM RACF

Resolution

The RACFVARS (variables used in RACF) were not assigned on the CPU in question.  

After a Refresh with both classes, access occurred as expected.
