Issue/Introduction

What should I do when during an HSM conversion to Disk, the HSMGEN2 job shows multiple error messages 4500 and 4502?

Resolution

The correct level of authority must be given to DFSMShsm. Once done rerun the HSMGEN2 job.

Additional Information

DFSMShsm checks authority for a requester to access data sets when a requester who is not DFSMShsm-authorized issues an HMIGRATE, HDELETE, or HRECALL command. Security checking is not done when DFSMShsm-authorized users issue the user commands. If users are not authorized to manipulate data, DFSMShsm does not permit them to migrate data sets, delete migrated data sets, or explicitly recall data sets. DFSMShsm always does security checking for the scratch intercept when deleting migrated data sets. Table 14 shows the RACF authority required to perform each space management function.
