Hello RH and welcome to the forums,

Have you looked up the error message id? I'd suggest that. The manuals are available via the "Manuals" link at the top of the page.

From your post, you need to talk with your security admin people.

ACCESS INTENT(--X) ACCESS ALLOWED(GROUP ---)

the ich408i explanation is CLEAR

the access intent was checked against the group access permissions
and .... none were found !

Looks like Your organization is trying to implement something above their competence level,
-rude but sadly true

DIRACC, DIRSRCH, DIR...
are RACF classes related to directory access

reading The "security administrator guide" manual will give them all the details on how to solve the issue

replying with more info on the subject would be, by my ethics,
giving free consultancy to a profit organization,
the objective of these forums is to help people do their job in a better way ( for themselves ),
not help organizations solve their problems

YES I DO HAVE IT VERY RIGHT !!

It is Your company problem to give You proper training in order to achieve its objectives

( and to the security administrators too )

You have the right of not agreeing, but You should also try to understand my point...

Security is not something that You can throw in a system and hope that everything will work,

there is the need to understand and plan many things

- the environment
- the resources
- the roles
- the matrix of the resources vs.the roles
- build a staged plan for protecting and granting access to the resources
- run a period of "grace" in order to verify that the business will keep running
- define the auditing procedures and the actions to be taken in case of violations
- legal and human-resources issues
- ... add many many more

You see that solving Your little problem means to have available Your security implementation plan
in order to verify that granting You the access to the resources You say You need
is done according to the security strategies of Your company

I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ADVISING ON SECURITY RELATED ISSUES MIGHT GET THE FORUM IN TROUBLE

Hello,

To add a bit to what Enrico posted.

I believe we should point people with security issues/questions in the right direction, but we shouldn't provide commands. That should be accomplished within the organization, not the forum.

Unfortunately, many systems (especially those brought online by people basically still in training) have a weak to non-existent security plan. There are some rules, but not really a plan. Bad things often happen on those systems.

Even with the best intentions, we don't know your system and may do more harm than good.

Another issue i have with posting "how-to" is that while the TS may have a valid reason to ask, there are others who are constantly trying to see what they can get away with.

IMHO, we should surely not be helping them.

You're welcome and Good Luck:)

As a suggestion, you might be able to convince the security admin people to ask the question of the vendor support for your system's security software (IBM or Computer Associates dependingon which product).

They can surely explain how to fix this to the security admins.

I had this same problem and after extensive research found that I had a directory set at 700 in USS which was where the called program resided. I would definitely check the permissions on your bin directories to make sure they are set for execution. RACF is just the reporter in this case.

for this problem u hv to go and speak with the system side people(system administrator) they wont give accesss permission to use certain utilities bcoz sometimes it may scratch some datasets. If system adminstrator give the access means u can proceed and u wont face that error. Clearly they hv to give the access for u.
