APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • NEWLIST TYPE=SYSTEM fields not populated correctly because RACF
    DB information is not referenced.
    
    For example, RACDBLEVEL is blank, and UNLOAD_DATETIME shows -
    ??? - instead of the date and time the report was executed.
    

Local fix

  • Add PWDREVOKE_SPECIAL(nd) to the output as this causes the RACF
    DB information to be referenced, for example:
    
    n type=system
    sortlist RACFDBLEVEL UNLOAD_DATETIME PWDREVOKE_SPECIAL(nd)
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit for RACF exploiting   *
    *                 the 'System settings' report (NEWLIST TYPE   *
    *                 SYSTEM).                                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Audit shows incorrect           *
    *                      RACFDBLEVEL and UNLOAD_DATETIME when    *
    *                      the report is executed.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When the RACF DB is used as a source for zSecure Audit, then
    zSecure reports RACFDBLEVEL as empty and UNLOAD_DATETIME =???.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit has been modified to reference the correct
    RACFDBLEVEL and UNLOAD_DATETIME for RACF DB information
    'System settings' report (NEWLIST TYPE SYSTEM).
