OA50323: UNABLE TO COMPARE TWO CKFREEZE FILES WHEN TOP SECRET IS THE SECURITY DB

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Go into SE.1
  Choose two CKFREEZE files
  Daily - SYSAPPL.DAILY.TVT6123.CKFREEZE
  Old CKFREEZE - ZSECURE.CKR211.CKFREEZE
  
  Make the Daily the baseline by using a "C" next to it
  I then go into AU.S to generate a report
  
  Choose MVS Extended and Show Differences
  I chose zSecure for the Audit Policy (I tried all the others
  with the same result)
  Press enter key
  Choose some of the things that you want to compare on (I have
  tried selecting all or just one)
  Press enter key
  Error message in top right hand corner says "Not Allowed"
  PF1 tells me that I have not selected a baseline or main set
  
   Select one FUNCTION=BASE and at least one FUNCTION=MAIN set
  with a security
   data base or UNLOAD to show differences. You can use the C
  action command of
   SETUP FILES to select a baseline set.

  ****************************************************************
  zSecure Audit requires a security database for compare
  processing for reports that do not require a security database.
  The solution for this APAR provides the ability to perform
  compare processing for system specific reports that do not
  require a security database without allocating the data sets
  containing security data (UNLOAD or live security database).
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit has been modified so that compare processing for
  system specific reports that do not require a security database
  can be performed without allocation of data sets with the
  security information.
