  • 1.  Issues installing zSecure Alert ACF2

    Posted Mon December 18, 2023 09:37 AM

    Hello all,

    We are trying to get zSecure Alert running on an ACF2 system and I am having an issue where it is not available on the panels to configure.  I have checked the following things:

    1. Confirmed it is enabled in IFAPRD
    2. Confirmed the following lines are uncommented in C2R$PARM
      //  SET C2PCUST=my.prefix.C2POLICE.C2PCUST
      //  SET C2POLICE=C2POLICE                  
    3. Confirmed the C2PCUST dataset was allocated using the install library job
    4. Confirmed SCKRLOAD is APF authorized

    We have not configured the IDs or started tasks for C2POLICE/C2POLL.  Is that explicitly required to be able to use the configuration panels? I just want to go through and get an alert set configured before we actually go about those steps if possible.

    The only thing showing on the panels is:
    Product/Release                                   
    5655-N17 IBM Security zSecure Audit for ACF2 2.5.0

    Thanks in advance

    Hi matt,

    No you dont need the IDs for the STC's to create an Alert configuration. Its an ISPF application. Only when you get to the verify step we use CKRCARLA to check the CARLa syntax.

    If you just want to try to create a configuration you could also use PDSE of your own (FB 80 and  library), make C2PCUST point to it, and you can try. The Alert UI will create all neccesary members in that dataset

    So i hazard a guess that you do not have the SE.A.A. option ?

    cheers

    Sorry i misread the license line. It only show an Audit ACF2 license. My first guess would be that the Alert FMID wasn't applied. The entry in the IFAPRDxx members isnt neccesary. It can be used to disable specific products but default all installed products should work.

    Thanks Rene,

    Both for the confirmation that I don't need the tasks ready to go to work with an alert configuration and for pointing me in the direction of a missing FMID.  It looks like we don't have JC2P25A applied.

    I'll work with the installer to get it sorted out.
