It appears many vendors are assuming that their software should just work
with 7.6. After all, they had no problems with 7.1-7.5.
7.6 has changed numerous commands, APIs, SQL services, etc. Those which
formerly were publicly available now require either *IOSYSCFG or the user
be in the first of these function id's:
New IBM-supplied function IDs
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ssw_ibm_i_76/rzarl/rzarlfunctionusage.htm#rzarlfunctionusage>
:

- QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW
- QIBM_QZLS_NETSVR_SHARE
- QIBM_RUN_UNDER_USER_NO_AUTH

- I've had one vendor trip up on this already.
