Rocket® Enterprise Suite

Hi There,Is there a capability or option in Rocket Enterprise Analyzer to generate DB2 analysis reports. I need to perform an analysis for data type portability, data object compatibility for both DB2 LUW and PostgresSQL target database. and then the gap analysis.Thanks,Gauri

I have a JCL script that executes a COBOL program through a procedure (PROC0001). Specifically, the goal is to pass parameters to the procedure so that any COBOL program can be executed, and this is source code that is running in a production environment. However, when I try to run the same code on my PC with Enterprise Developer for Eclipse 11 on a Windows platform, the following errors occur:But when running the JCL script, a series of errors occur.Specifically, here is the relevant portion of the JCL script://JCL0001 JOB (0),'JCL0001',CLASS=?,MSGCLASS=?,USER=????????//STEP1 EXEC PROC=PROC0001,// PROGRAM=PGM00001,// DSN=DBP,// PLAN=PPGM0001,// LOAD1=PGMS.LIB.LOADHere I attach the part of PROC PROC0001 that I find relevant://PROC0001 PROC PROGRAM=XXXL9999,// DSN=XXX,// PLAN=XXXP9999,// LOAD1=STEC.LIBDUMMY.LOAD,// LOAD2=STEC.LIBDUMMY.LOAD,// LOAD3=STEC.LIBDUMMY.LOAD,// OUTC=*,// RGN=0K,// PARMS=&PARMSAnd the result of the execution produces the following errors:1 //JCL0001 JOB (0),

We’re looking to make some performance improvements in how we manage CICS connections from our webapps.Here’s what we’ve got:Enterprise Server v11 running a single CICS region with a CISAM data store. The CICS region has a main driver program (IMO0000) and a primary transaction ID (IMDE), both of which we can consider to be constant for all requests.  The driver program is responsible for decoding the request, and delegating to the appropriate program for processing. There is no configured service, per se, that handles these requests.  The transaction (IMDE) is wired to the default mirror program (DFHMIRS), which goes back to the ECI request to find the program name (IMO0000) to invoke. 99.999% of CICS requests come through the Java webapps over TCP.  All CICS requests are completely stateless, and each opens its own socket/connection, and closes it upon completion of the request.  The other 0.001% of CICS requests are mainly one-offs that would occur rarely during batch cycles.  We wi

The rapid rise of GenAI is transforming the way we approach legacy code and modernization. Recent breakthroughs prove that AI coding assistants can now refactor utilities, add mainframe screens, and implement logic in COBOL environments, tasks once thought immune to automation. Yet, as companies face heightened pressure to close the COBOL skills gap and accelerate transformation, an essential question emerges: How can organizations leverage AI to modernize critical workloads—without introducing risk?We believe modernization should be about more than speed; it should also be about trust, transparency, and business continuity. While Product Manager Guy Sofer's recent experiment using AI tools to update and extend a classic COBOL banking application was impressively productive—delivering in hours what once took days—it also exposed the limitations and blind spots of generic large language models. Automated code generation can overlook critical architectural layers or introduce subtle erro

I have the following JCL and called PROCJCL//QCR10201 JOB(00123-QCR-P-010,BX01),QCR,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X//PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER=(PROD1.PROCLIB)//CB110201 EXEC CB110201//SYSIN DD *00179   989/*///*EOF  PROC//CB110201 PROC//CB110201 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01//SYSDUMP DD SYSOUT=*//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*//SYSLOG DD SYSOUT=*//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*//SYSTSIN           DD *                DSN SYSTEM(QCRS)                RUN PROGRAM(CB110201)                END/* When run it gets**** JCLCM0437E UNEXPECTED STATEMENT4 //SYSIN DD * Any ideas what is wrong?

I have PROD1.PROCLIB listed in the System Procedure Library in JES configuration.  But unless I include the JCLLIB statement in my JCL it can’t find the procedure.

Is it possible to migrate JAVA code that use JCICS in CICS Liberty server on zOS to run on Rocket Enterprise server on Linux ?  Is there any guide for such migration ?

I'm submitting a job submisison request to JESControl using the REST client to the following url  POST "">ip.address.of.server:10086/.../jescontrol" But my request is getting rate limited and I'm getting the following response: { "ErrorTitle" : "Error 429 - Too Many Requests", "ErrorMessage" : "Session limit has been reached. Please try again later."} How do I handle this response. Is the amount to wait before sending the next request is available in any HTTP header ? Usually when rate-limiting is implemented, the amount of seconds to wait will be available in the 'retry-after' header, however for the above request, I did not see any such header in the response received. So wanted to know if Enterprise Server JESControl is setting this value in any other header or if there is any other way to handle this.  Thanks for your response. Really appreciate.#EnterpriseServer

All of my requests being sent via RESTful API that previously worked have recently been receiving a 429 HTTP status code indicating too many requests have been sent to the API.I'm getting the following response:{"ErrorTitle" : "Error 429 - Too Many Requests","ErrorMessage" : "Session limit has been reached. Please try again later."}The error is a general HTTP message, not specific to the product.How do I mitigate this obstacle? What is the admin configuration setting in the Enterprise Server to extend the session limit and relax the rate-limiting?The Retry-After header is an HTTP response header that informs the client how long it should wait before making another request is commonly used in scenarios where the server cannot process the request immediately, such as rate-limiting or scheduled downtime. I do not want any of the rate-limiting or scheduled downtime that I’m currently experiencing.

We are attempting to submit a JCL job to our local enterprise solution server via the ESMAC JES control API and are receiving a response with code 400 and message stating “No Origin of Referer header present.” How do we configure the server to allow access control from all origins?

I have a COPY project that is used in other COBOL projects. In this COPY project, there are lines of code that need to be continued because they exceed 80 characters. For example:05 PIC X(70) VALUE "(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- "x)".In fact, the Enterprise Developer IDE for Eclipse 11 reports the following errors for this line:- COBCH0026S Literal too long- COBCH1007E VALUE literal size 227 > data item size 70. Literal truncated.And since it's a COPY project, I can't apply compilation directives. In fact, I don't understand why the IDE is trying to compile a COPY. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thank you very much.

I am launching a job from Enterprise Developer for Eclipse 11 and the only thing I can see in the spool is the following message:JES000050E JCL parsing error: Job: 0001003 RC = 8Can anyone tell me what else I could check to try to determine what might be happening?

Hello. I have a COBOL application composed of several projects (n COBOL-type Projects, one COPY-type project, and one COPY DCLGEN-type project), and I wonder if it is technically possible to execute any program from any project with a single existing batch region defined in Enterprise Developer 11 for Eclipse running on a Windows 11 PRO operating system. In fact, I have created a batch region in the aforementioned environment and it starts correctly when associating a single project (I performed the association using Enterprise Developer for Eclipse 11 on my PC with Windows 11 PRO operating system), but the moment I associate a second project to the region, the following message appears during startup:JES000057E JES validation - MFJCLCFG failed for spool file SPLJOB.dat - RC = +000000007 CASSI9012E JCL support failed to start. Error returned from casspool, RC=0020 In fact, I have observed that the ESCWA environment variable in the aforementioned Enterprise Developer 11 effectively conc

I just installed Rocket Software Enterprise Developer Version 11 and need to obtain the default password for the SYSAD user. Following the suggestion on the ESCWA login screen:"The SYSAD user has been created with a generated password.To determine the password, run:"mfsecretsadmin read microfocus/temp/admin"" I ran the command, but the password it returned is invalid. Does anyone know what I can do?

On a Rocket Enterprise Server 11 installed on a Windows 11 system, I created a test region (using the JCL template) and associated a project with it. I started the region and received the following error:JES000011E Batch Spool File Error; SPLJOB Status Open I/OCASSI9012E JCL support failed to start. Error returned from casspool, RC=0012Does anyone know where I should define the spool file path?

I'm trying to download the PDF documentation for "Enterprise Developer 11.0 for Eclipse (Windows)"https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/es-ES/bundle/enterprisedevelopereclwin_ug_110/page/yos1742952172927.htmlHowever, I get the following message: "Your PDF is being generated. Please leave this browser open until your PDF has downloaded."But the download doesn't start.Does anyone have an alternative link where I can download the documentation in PDF format?Thanks.

We are running Enterprise Developer 10.0 that accesses a SQL server database from CICS via an ODBC XA Resource.  We are experiencing long standing schema modification locks (LCK_M SCH_M) in SQL Server coming from the Rocket server through MSDTC.  Currently the only way we know to resolve is to stop/start MSDTC on the database server.  Is there any documentation on configuration options (either the Rocket or SQL servers) that we can review to help resolve these locks?

Where and how do I specify the startup transaction for a CICS region when coming in through a TN3270 terminal emulator?

Rocket has an Enterprise Analyzer Certified Professional - L4XX training course. The start of the course has a hands-on lab for installing a demo workspace. Task 2 step 5 is to “Add sources manually”; the screenshot in step 7 shows this being done from C:\EA Sources\BankDemo\sources, but as far as I can tell, this is not installed with Enterprise Analyzer. (There are some demo files it puts in every workspace but not the full demo.So where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo files?The training videos several time to go to the “attachment tab”. There is no attachment tab in the training site, as far as I can find. Nor anywhere else with downloads.I happen to have a .zip file with what I think you need, but only due to another case I had with Rocket.My question is: Where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo sources from? Is this something that was lost in the migration from Open Text to Rocket?

I have @1000 VSAM files all of which hold the same data for different product types.  The first part of the name of the file indicates the product type. For example:   Product1 filename is FD0001.PRODUCT.INFO, Product2 filename is FD0002.PRODUCT.INFO.   These files are to be read by a Cobol program that populates the "FDnnnn" part of the filename.  Is there a way to have only one VSAM file definition in the JCL stream and query the JES catalog to get the right file, or some other way to avoid having a DD statement for all 1000 files?------------------------------Bruce CheatwoodBWXTLynchburg VA US------------------------------
