Hi,

We gave OMVS access to a user using the below command as

alu U151673 omvs(uid(151673) home('/proj4/ddi') +
program('/bin/sh'))

But the user is getting an error as

FSUM2384 No session was started. The system cannot set the current working dire

ctory to the specified home directory for this user ID.



Function = chdir(), directory name = '/proj4/ddi', return value = -1, errno = 12

9 (X'00000081'), reason code = 05190050, message = 'EDC5129I No such file or dir



Could anyone give me a solution to it.

ectory.'

There are 4 possibilities:
1. /proj4 directory does not exist
2. /proj4/ddi directory does not exist
3. The permissions for /proj4 do not allow access for that user id
4. The permissions for /proj4/ddi do not allow access for that user id

Robert,

Your point 2 is right. Yes I have created the Home directory for the user. thanks Robert.

Glad to hear you got it working.
