Error description

  • ICH408I message issued when upgrading to CICS Liberty
    17.0.0.4 . for CJSA transaction saying insufficient
    access authority, access intent is read, access allowed is none.
    The problem is that Liberty 17.0.0.4 created a thread
    internally (com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.osgi.WebContainer$3) as part
    of its bundle install work. This causes CICS to attach a task
    because it is not on CICS Liberty internal threads list. When
    the task is attempted to be attached using the CICS default
    userid, the RACF error is produced.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Security violation against the region   *
    *                      default USERID to attach CJSA when      *

    ****************************************************************
    When a Bundle is installed into a Liberty JVM server an
    internal Liberty thread is created and CICS attempts to attach
    a CICS task.  A CJSA task is attempted to be attached using
    the default userid of the CICS region.  This causes a ICH408I
    RACF error to occur in the joblog.
    

Problem conclusion

  • UI53794 UI53795 UI53798 UI53800
    CICS has been changed to mark
    com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.osgi.WebContainer$3 as an internal
    Liberty thread.
