IJ35837: 7612 - AFTER UPGRADE CLIENT NOTICED THAT THERE ARE GROUPS MAXEVERYONE AND EVERIONE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Verified that, There are 5 options that are granted to EVERYONE
  group regardless of  the value maxvar ALLUSERGROUP.  This is
  wrong.  Looked at the dbc scripts and confirmed that "EVERYONE"
  was hardcoded where APPLICATIONAUTH were created.  It should
  take the value from the maxvar.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Few maximo database scripts include hardcoded EVERYONE group *
  * name as opposed to picking the group name from MAXVARS       *
  * table, where VARNAME = ALLUSERGROUP. As such, if the group   *
  * name has changed by the user or in maximo (and not maxdemo)  *
  * database where the group name is MAXEVERYONE instead of      *
  * EVERYONE the permissions were not granted correctly          *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Two new database scripts are provided in this release to correct
  the issue and as such permissions to ALLUSERGROUP will be
  granted as required.
  

Temporary fix
