APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a Version 7.0 application server or managed node is
    defined within the PMT for z/OS with AUTOUID specified
    ("Allow OS security to assign UID") for the servant UID,
    the BBOSBRAK job will not generate the servant user ID. As
    a result, the server will not start unless the servant user
    ID has previously been defined (such as for a deployment
    manager definition).
    

Local fix

  • The bypass is to define the servant user ID manually (or
    assign a user-specified UID when defining the user ID
    within the PMT for z/OS).

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The BBOSBRAK job that is created by the Version 7.0 PMT
    for z/OS for building a Version 7.0 application server or
    managed node will not define the servant user ID if AUTOUID
    was specified for the servant UID. This will cause the server
    not to start (unless the servant user ID has previously been
    defined).
    

Problem conclusion

  • The Version 7.0 PMT for z/OS was updated to build the BBOSBRAK
    job correctly when AUTOUID is specified for the servant UID.
    This causes the servant user ID to be defined when the
    BBOSBRAK job is run.
