ICH408I
OMVS SEGMENT NOT DEFINED

Explanation

This error occurs when an attempt is made to dub a process and the current user's USER profile cannot be found in the RACF® database or the profile has no OMVS segment.

System action

RACF returns an error return code to the invoking system function, which returns an error return code to the application caller or causes the calling task to abend. See z/OS UNIX System Services Programming: Assembler Callable Services Reference to determine the action of the syscall functions.

Programmer response

Provide appropriate information about the failure to the user of your program, based on the function invoked and the return codes received. If you were expecting a UID to be automatically assigned during processing of the BPX.UNIQUE.USER profile in the FACILITY class, the service might fail for one of the following reasons:
  • The BPX.UNIQUE.USER profile is not defined.
  • The UNIXPRIV class SHARED.IDS profile is not defined.
  • The RACF database is not converted to stage 3 of application identity mapping.
  • The BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class is not defined.
  • The BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class does not define a valid UID range.
  • The range defined in the BPX.NEXT.USER profile in the FACILITY class has no remaining UID values.
See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for more information about automatically assigning UIDs and GIDs. There might also be symptom records in the LOGREC data set that can be used to help diagnose the error. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for more information about possible symptom records.
