Issue/Introduction

How to resolve SARSMF90 error messages:

- SARSMF90 SARSMFT module is not sufficiently authorized to write an SMF record 
- SARSMF90 SARSMFT module must be added to the TSO authorization table and reside in an authorized library 

 

Environment

z/os, View

Cause

This message indicates insufficient authority to write SMF records.

Resolution

The SARSMF90 error message indicates that the SARSMFT module has insufficient authority to write SMF records.

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Authorize the module: Add the SARSMFT module to the TSO authorization table (AUTHTSF). The TSO authorization table is typically found in SYS1.PARMLIB, member IKJTSOxx.

How to use AUTHTSF in IKJTSO00:
Adding a program: When deploying new z/OS tools or system exits that need elevated system rights (like APF authorization), you must add the program's load module name to the AUTHTSF parameter list inside IKJTSO00.

After modifying the member, you must update the system's TSO tables. Instead of scheduling a full IPL, you can make the changes take effect dynamically by issuing the following command in TSO/E:

     PARMLIB UPDATE(00)

2. Verify location: Ensure the module is located in an authorized library.
