• Message class: GRANTMGMT - Grants Management Message Class

• Message number: 554

• Message text: Grant &1 is not an outgoing grant. Only outgoing grants allowed.

What causes this issue?

The grant master and the grant type define whether a grant is incoming
or outgoing.
The logic is that a grant is defined as utgoing when the outgoing
attribute is set in tables GMGR as well as GMGRTYPE. If this attribute
is not set the grant is automatically incoming.
This information should be consistent but only the grant master is the
true indicator for it.
