z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes
SA23-2291-00

IRRB023I
SYSTEM SERVICE service FAILED WITH RETURN CODE return-code, REASON CODE reason-code.

Explanation

RACF® invoked a UNIX service to dub the RACF subsystem address space as a UNIX process, but the service failed with the return and reason codes specified. RACF only invokes UNIX services during subsystem initialization if a RACF function that requires UNIX (for example, password enveloping) is enabled. The most likely cause of this failure is that the subsystem address space identity does not have an OMVS segment. If so, you might see an ICH408I message in addition to IRRB023I.
Note: If the RACF subsystem address space has the PRIVILEGED attribute, the ICH408I message is not displayed because audit records are not created for PRIVILEGED tasks

System action

The RACF subsystem continues to initialize. Functions that require z/OS® UNIX System Services are not available.

RACF Security Administrator Response

If the subsystem address space identity is not defined as a UNIX user, define an OMVS segment for its USER profile and for its default group profile. See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for details on defining UNIX users. The RACF subsystem user ID does not require, and should not be assigned, a UID value of 0. Unless message IRRC040I was also issued, the RACF subsystem address space must be stopped and restarted after the OMVS information is defined for the UNIX functions to become available. To avoid interruptions in services that are provided by the address space, it should be restarted during a period of low activity. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide for information about the RACF subsystem.

If the RACF subsystem address space identity is defined as a UNIX user, consult z/OS UNIX System Services Programming: Assembler Callable Services Reference for the meaning of the return and reason codes
