What it means

IBM's RACF diagnosis guide groups 483 with 482 and 485: an error in the RACF manager while it was handling a RACF service call (SVC).

The approach is the same as for 482: read the messages that came with the abend and find the manager request in IRR413I.

Typical causes

  • An error inside the RACF manager while it handled the request.
  • The failing manager request is named in message IRR413I.
  • The message issued with the abend gives the reason.

How to fix it

  1. Gather the messages issued with the abend, including IRR413I.
  2. Check RACF Messages and Codes for the abend and messages at your z/OS level.
  3. Ask your systems programmer to search IBM support for a matching problem.
  4. If nothing matches, they can obtain a dump and open a case with IBM.
