Re: Probably a stupid question - concerning Master Catalog Passwords
开云体育Just to update the group on this issue I experienced, and in the interest of increasing knowledge and so if anyone else has this issue. ? The 056-012 is a RACF failure error message, thi sonly occurs because I have a MVS 3.8j system built without RACF (which postdates MVS3.8j) or more importantly RAKF which is a part of the TK series releases.?? The problem occurs because I was using the excellet application RPF and the utility 3.2 menu to preform an alloc, with a master catalog password set, as per the standard build process defined by Jay Moseley.? ? RPF does a RACF check as part of its alloc, and thus fails to correctly pass the entered password to TSO, responds with a RACF failure error 056-012.?? If there is no master catalog password set, then RPF does not preform a check and its able to alloc as expected. So this condition only occurs given the specific set of circumstances.? ??Attempts by others, confirm this, and recompiling RPF from source with the RACF/RAKF check deselected do not correct the issue.?? Possibly Rob with look at this, however his software is an asset to have, and if you are aware of this and do not have a Mast Cat Password set, then its not a problem, or if you have RAKF installed and setup, its not a problem.? At the current time, you can choose to either, 1) Setup RAKF, 2) Nullify the Mast Cat password and choose not to have one, or 3) not use RPF for an alloc and only use batch jobs to preform allocations – I consider option 3 a poor choice. ? My purpose here is just that since I received no hits on google searching for the 056-012 error code in versions of MVS prior to MVS-XA, that ?I may save someone from head scratching and they will know the source, and how to bypass the condition. ? Many thanks on my part to those who helped me in determining the cause.? It required some hours and effort to track it all down and its much appreciated. ? Thanks, Dave Trainor, NBZFM Louisville, KY?? ? From:
