Issue/Introduction

Using SSMv3, the Policy Manager in OPS/MVS (OPSView option 4.11.P) can LOAD resource. 
Previous to the LOAD you do the VERIFY of the resource and this was successful.
However during the LOAD you get the message : 

    LOAD: UPDATE OF RESOURCE resource FAILED: SQLCODE = -7406 

What does it mean. The SQLCODE is not documented in the manuals

Environment

OPS/MVS

Cause

Something went wrong during the LOAD process because the STCTBL or POLICY table is missing a column.. 

Resolution

First check if the conversion utility OPSSM3CV ran without errors and the SSMVERSION parameter is set to 3.

This utility will create the additional columns needed to run SSM version 3.

 

Additional Information

To check the SQLCODE description, check for the OPSnnnnE messages, where nnnn is the SQLCODE.

In the case mentioned above, the SQLCODE -7406, check the message OPS7406E in the manuals :
