Error description

  • The start of AUDIT POLICY has an error when more than 32
    Audit Policies are started. 32 policies is the most policies
    that a user is allowed to start, but the error condition
    if more than 32 policies are started is handled incorrectly.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND04E RC00E70005 CSECT DSNXAMAP      *
    *                      occurred when more than 32 audit        *
    *                      policies were started. This led to      *
    *                      starting of incorrect traces and        *
    *                      storage overlay.                        *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    ABEND04E RC00E70005 CSECT DSNXAMAP occurred when more than
    32 audit policies were incorrectly started. This did not set
    error return code. The abend in the audit policy processing
    was re-tried. Due to an uninitialized variable and successful
    return code, incorrect traces were started and also led to
    storage overlay.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been changed to return error with new reason code
    '00E70031'X instead of abend, if more than 32 audit policies
    are started.
