CMOD 9.5 (maybe 10) and OSPROTECT?

[rjchavez]

We recently installed APAR OA54807 which enables z/OS to use the OSPROTECT parameter in IEASYSxx.  After installing this APAR we immediately ran into S0C4 in the ARSSOCK server.  I searched for CMOD maintenance and did not find anything.  Has anyone run into a similar issue with OSPROTECT and CMOD?

It sounds like you are calling a library that is not APF authorized.  Do you have an exit that is not in an APF authorized library?

I've been running with OSPROTECT at both OSPROTECT=1 and the default, OSPROTECT=SYSTEM since days after the PTF was first available without a hitch.

This is at z/OS V2.2 and z/OS V2.3.

Aha!  I just remembered this:

Had a report of a S0C4 in ARSSOCKD after rolling out maintenance that included OSPROTECT.

Turned out the maintenance included this:

Thanks Ed!  The PTFs are for DB2 Query Monitor and the common component and it's impacting several DB2 applications at our shop.  We're putting in a new release of the products including the PTFs.
