  ****************************************************************
  After applying PM53629 (PTF UK77576 in DB2 9, PTF UK77576 in
  DB2 10) message ICH408I or an ABEND0C4 in DSNX@XAC may occur
  if the access control authorization exit is being used and
  DB2 commands are issued from a remote connection.
  DB2 should ensure that a DB2 managed ACEE is available to
  process authorization of DB2 commands which have been
  issued from a remote application.
  This MSGICH408I or ABEND0C4 will occur at each
  DB2 for z/OS where the data base access command is processed.
  This APAR should be installed on each DB2 in the data sharing
  group for the fix to be fully effective.  It is not required
  that this APAR be installed on all DB2 subsystems
  simultaneously.
  

Problem conclusion

• DB2 has been updated to avoid the ICH408I or ABEND0C4 in the
  access control authorization exit when processing
  DB2 commands which are issued from remote connections.
