At startup of Vantage the following security violation occurred:
TSS7220E 102 J=SAMS A=SAMSUSR VOL=VOL001 ACC=UPDATE DSN=XXXX.AUTOSCR
TSS7227E UPDATE Access Not Granted to Dataset XXXX.AUTOSCR
IEC150I 913-38,IFG0194E,SAMS,SAMS,SYS01312,2005,VOL001, 369
XXXX.AUTOSCR
Why does the Vantage Userid SAMSUSR need UPDATE access to the AUTOSCR library at startup?
We have never seen this before and it is no problem to update or create new automation scripts using the Windows Client.
Vantage
This can happen if an automation script in the AUTOSCR library has been created or has been changed using ISPF EDIT. Vantage maintains internal information in the PDS Directory entry for each script. If such a script is
created or changed using ISPF EDIT, this information is lost. This is detected at startup and Vantage tries to update the PDS directory with this internal information.
In order to update the PDS directory UPDATE ACCESS to the script library is required.
It is correct that scripts can be created or changed using the Windows Client, even if the Vantage USERID does not have UPDATE ACCESS to the script library, as in this case the update is performed under the security
context of the logged on TSO User, who must have appropriate permissions to the library.
