APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a userid in SYSADM group longer than 8 character is used,
    the following SEVERE messages are logged in the db2diag.log.
    This is just a information message indicating unexpected length
    in the userid. So, the security group plugin (IBMOSgroups)
    should be logging an INFO message NOT a SEVERE error.

Local fix

    message.
