Environment

OS: Z/OS

Resolution

Assuming that z/OS Agent v11.2.2 has been installed and the system user has already the following permission on z/OS but the issue remains, you also need to make sure that the password in the LOGIN object for z/OS user is correct.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
​Needed permissions for agent user:
FACILITY class, BPX.SERVER profile with READ access
FACILITY class, BPX.DAEMON profile with READ access
FACILITY class, BPX.SUPERUSER profile with READ access
UserID of agentuser don't have to be zero, with BPX.SUPERUSER it should be able to change effective userid.
