RTC 4.0 zOS bfagent -Why do we see cyclical login attempts in bfagent log - every 15 seconds?

0
Donald Poulin (224●9●118●107) | asked Nov 09 '12, 7:45 a.m.
In this case there is one build engine and no one was using it. The user on the build engine had an expired password that we were trying to resume. We had all users stop running any build requests and even after that we keep seeing a request to log in to the mainframe every 15 seconds.

From the person trying to get the build engine user id  (BUILDENG) password resumed.......

We are seeing cyclical errors every 15.5 seconds or so. I see ICH408I messages in the SYSLOG for the BUILDENG having been revoked. If I have the security team resume the password, and we test the build engine definition associated with the BUILDENG ID, it succeeds. However, after several of the 15.5 second iterations, all failing, the ID is revoked again. 3 cycles from the log are below.

Please open a PMR so this can be investigated

Was a PMR ever opened on this? We are currently experiencing the same issue even though we have gone into the Build Engine definition and made sure to key the correct userid/password, it is still failing and revoking the userid/password for accessing TSO.
