WAS401 IMSAPPC Connector failing IVP test
 
 
Solution
PROBLEM

The IVP test of the PhoneBook App w/r to the IMSAPPC
connector is failing.

There appears to be a security violation,

The phonebook application is part of the IMS APPC BETA connector IVP
code documentation from IBM.

See this doc under connector support;


http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/download_v4z.html

WebSphere TM Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 IBM
Connector Installation and Usage Guide

Version Beta 4.01.001

12/12/2001

This documentation describes installing the connector and using the the

Phone Book Application for the IVP.



The PhoneBook connector code is failing at init time.

Messages:

Found module: /WebSphere/apps/BBOASR2/null/PhoneBookSessionEJB.jar

This appears to be an error in an ejb class.

From the trace.

Initially, I see minor code C9C24C07
Just prior to that there is the following trace records:


Trace: 2002/02/21 21:03:53.408 01 t=7E7828 c=1.4 key=P8 (13007002)
FunctionName: com.ibm.connector2.ws390.imsappc.IMSAPPC_390RMIO
SourceId: com.ibm.connector2.ws390.imsappc.IMSAPPC_390RMIO
Category: EVENT
ExtendedMessage: 390RMIO_SendReceive; value 1 = 578,832,512,
value 2 = "IVTNO", value 3 = [B@135baf65, value 4 = 49, value 5 = 89
value 6 = "HE70917", value 7 = false
.
Followed by a trace with "Error issuing APPC service" as the description. In this trace, it says APPC service ATBRCVW failed with reason code 100 with APPC error code description:
ATB80100I From VTAM macro APPCCMD: Primary error return code: 0004
secondary error return code: 0005, sense code: 080F6051

followed by:
ATB70017I TP security violation. Partner LU IMS 3962 rejected the
allocate request because authorization checks failed.
.
Value 6 in the trace above is the user that is getting the security
violation.

The ID in value 6 "HE70917" ie mine !.. I ran the USS Phone Book script
from the shell.I will check on the LU settng and the IMS log .
.
Other reasons that could cause a security violation:


If the LUs are not defined with SECACPT=ALREADYV for already verified in the VTAM config for the LUs, it could also surface as a security violation since this setting would tell the IMS end not to do any checking for the TP.

SOLUTION:


The key was a recycle of the WASLU.. We had fogotten that RACF APPC
profile, and had refreshed WAS and RACF, but not the WASLU. A recycle
of the WASLU today, and the test worked fine.
