When the server is restarted after an abend, an orphaned shared memory segment is created. The accompanying error message reads:

Shared memory remains but WSM process is gone

1. To display the orphaned memory objects, issue the command:

   IPCS M -X

2. To remove the orphaned memory objects, issue the command:

   IPCRM M

   IPL will eliminate the orphaned shared memory segment.

3. Add the following EDASHARE pointer (with the client directory path) to the ISTART EDAENV DD

   000050 //EDAENV      DD      *
   000051 TZ=EST5EDT
   000053 EDASHARE=/ibi/srv52/ffs/web            

   where:

   web

   Is a newly created directory, but can be any name.

   This will point the server to a new shared memory segment. This syntax should also be added to the ISTOP jcl.

INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO GETPSENT messages may appear in JESLOG. For more information about what causes these messages, see the IBM APAR II11813.

The APAR recommends issuing one of the following RACF commands to work around this problem:

SETROPTS LOGOPTIONS (NEVER(PROCACT))

SETOPTS LOGOPTIONS (DEFAULT(PROCACT))

However, when a non-superuser in the OMVS shell issues the command ps -ef, the following security message is repeated in SYSLOG:

ICH408I USER(default) GROUP(dgltgrp) NAME(bpxdefaultuser) 060
CL(PROCACT ) INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO GETPSENT

This does not indicate an error. It is an informational message issued because of RACF LOGOPTIONS settings. The ps -ef command is a request to show all processes that the requester is authorized to see, but a non-superuser is allowed to see only his or her own processes.
