PQ49293: BBOCBRAJ JOB FAILS WITH RC=08 WHEN RUNNING WITH DEFAULT IVP ID'SIN BBOCBRAC. ADDUSER OF SECOND AND THIRD IDS (CBIVP,CBIVP2)

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
When running BBOCBRAJ jcl, which calls BBOCBRAC rexx, with the
default userid's defined for 'default_IVP1_unauth_local_userid',
'default_IVP1_unauth_remote_userid', 'default_IVP1_userid',
'default_IVP2_unauth_local_userid', 'default_IVP2_userid', and
'default_IVP2_unauth_remote_userid', the JCL will fail with a
rc=08. This return code is a result of 4 'ADDUSER' RACF commands
When the BBOCBRAC rexx executes, it first issues the ADDUSER
for CBIVP for the 'default_IVP1_userid' which is successful.
It then issues an ADDUSER for CBIVP2, for the
'default_IVP2_userid', which is successful.  So the userid's
CBIVP and CBIVP2 are successfully added.  Subsequent ADDUSER
commands are issued, for the 'remote' and 'local' CBIVP id's,
and it is these ADDUSER commands that receive the rc=08.  So
although the JCl 'fails' with a rc=08, investigation into the
reason for the rc=08 shows that in fact the proper id's are
defined, and the IVP program will run successfully later in the
install process.

Sample job BBOCBRAJ in installation dataset
'BBO.SBBOJCL(BBOCBRAJ)' uses the BBOCBRAC rexx exec in
installation dataset 'BBO.SBBOEXEC(BBOCBRAC)'.
The BBOCBRAJ sample job, if submitted without modification
to the BBOCBRAC exec, defines the CBIVP and CBIVP2 userids
to be assigned as the: a) default user, b) the unauthorized
local user, and c) unauthorized remote user for the BBOASR1
and BBOASR2 IVP servers respectively.

The job attempts to define these nonunique userids multiple
times to RACF. The RC=8 returned for each duplicate ADDUSER
attempt makes the job appear to have failed, when in fact it
was successful.

In the future, duplicate ADDUSER attempts will be bypassed if
these user ids are identical.
