z/OS Log Forwarder user ID has insufficient authority

The z/OS® Log Forwarder does not operate correctly due to insufficient authority.

Symptom

The following symptoms are possible:
  • Messages in the procedure STDERR data set indicate that the startup.sh script cannot be found.
  • System Authorization Facility (SAF) messages indicate that the user has insufficient authority to complete an operation. For example, the ICH408I message is issued by the Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) for authority issues.

Solution

Verify that the user ID that is associated with the z/OS Log Forwarder has the appropriate authority to access the z/OS Log Forwarder files and directories.
