OA61659: GSD RULE F.1.4.17.2 INCORRECTLY REPORTS DIFFERENCES WHEN INPUT SETS HAVE DIFFERENT VERSION NAMES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• GSD rule F.1.4.17.2 incorrectly reports differences when input
  sets have different VERSION names.
  
  This occurs when selecting "Show differences" and there are not
  actually any differences between the two point-in-time snapshots
  from the same system/complex.
  

Local fix

• Use separate complex names for the two input sets.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit evaluating the GSD    *
  *                 compliance rule F.1.4.17.2 to report         *
  *                 differences between two input sets (compare  *
  *                 processing).                                 *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The zSecure Audit's compliance rule     *
  *                      F.1.4.17.2                              *
  *                      ("SETROPTS LOGOPTIONS(ALWAYS(SURROGAT)) *
  *                      must be active.") reports differences   *
  *                      while performing compare processing     *
  *                      in cases where no actual differences    *
  *                      present.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When the 'Show differences' option is checked on the rule
  evaluation configuration panel, the zSecure Audit's compliance
  rule F.1.4.17.2 ("SETROPTS LOGOPTIONS(ALWAYS(SURROGAT))
  must be active.") reports differences while there are no actual
  differences present.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit has been modified so the GSD compliance rule
  F.1.4.17.2 performs compare processing correctly.
