Why is pasearch -t resulting in the message "no policies retrieved" ?

Question & Answer


Question

Policy Agent was successfully started and EZD1586I was issued to indicate that policies were installed.

EZZ8431I PAGENT STARTING
EZZ8432I PAGENT INITIALIZATION COMPLETE
EZD1586I PAGENT HAS INSTALLED ALL LOCAL POLICIES FOR TCPIP

But when pasearch -t was entered to query the active AT-TLS policies for the installation , the following message was issued: No policies retrieved

Unexpectedly the system did not issue this message: EZZ8434I PAGENT POLICY DEFINITIONS CONTAIN ERRORS FOR image: TTLS

Answer

In this case, the Policy Agent configuration file coded contained an invalid TCPImage statement. The TCPImage statement that was coded specified the path to the local AT-TLS policy. The TCPImage statement must specify the path to a TCP image configuration file instead. The TCP image configuration file, in turn, must contain a TTLSConfig statement that specifies the path to the local AT-TLS policy.

Take the following steps:

  1. Specify the path to a TCP image configuration file on the TCPImage statement of the Policy Agent configuration file. As an example, in the Pagent Configuration file SYSS.TCPIP.PARMLIB(PAGMCN20), you should have the following statement coded:
    TcpImage TCPIP //'SYSS.TCPIP.POLICIES(TCPIMAGE)' FLUSH PURGE

  2. Code in the TCP image configuration file a TTLSCONFIG statement that specifies the path to the AT-TLS policy.

The image configuration file SYSS.TCPIP.POLICIES(TCPIMAGE) should contain your TTLSConfig statement. The TTLSConfig statement is used to specify the path of a local AT-TLS policy file.

So your TTLSConfig statement should look like this:
TTLSConfig //'SYSS.TCPIP.POLICIES(TLSMCN20)'
