Hi, On ChangeMan, we can do =1.B, VS - View Stack in order to decompress an SRD entry and get something like this: //BKP#ChangeManZMF

Hi Everyone !Can I use the GZIP version for z/OS at my Production environment?Is there any cost involved?Thanks !------------------------------Thiago de DeusIBM------------------------------

Hi there,I have a file X which is untagged.Now running a Perl script like follows #! /bin/env perluse strict;use warnings;use 5.010;my $f = 'X';-T $f && say "$f"; and the file is tagged as IBM-1047. I think the Perl text file test operator -T shouldn't change tagging in any way.Do you agree or do I just overlook anything?-- Thanks,Manfred------------------------------Manfred LotzIBM------------------------------

Status: DeliveredDeliveredIt is really annoying we can't open a INC member with the correct language and procedure set like a program. 

Status: DeliveredDeliveredStoring content of an audit report within ChangeMan accelerates development because no tool-change (e.g. to SDSF) and additional time for searching has to be performed. During our last internal ChangeMan -training some developers asked, if it wouldn't be a good idea to store content of an Audit Report (Package and Release) within ChangeMan.The advantage would be that in doing that, audit-information is directly accessible within ChangeMan (without changing to SDSF or what ever) and that the last audit-report for a package or a release could also be baselined (like program-listings). This also may be obtained as a unchangeable proof with which audit-result the package (or release) went to production.We think there are much more arguments to find when dealing with this idea in deepth.

I am using the cURL line command with the insecure option and would like to remove this option. What do I have to do to install a certificate and is there any way to use CA’s Top Secret for this authentication? Thanks

I don't think this specifically has anything to do with the actual Rocket Open Source Tool (curl), but I was hoping someone here might be of assistance anyway.Any thoughts on this? I can execute this job and have no issue. I'm trying to let another developer run it. He's able to run /u/dvfjs/rocket/bin/curl directly (in STDPARM, following "SH ".) But if he executes my shell script (/u/dvfjs/jira_test) he gets "/u/dvfjs/rocket/bin/curl: /u/dvfjs/jira_test 4: FSUM7351 not found".I've set the read and execution bits for user, group and other for both curl and the jira_test shell script. Since the "echo" commands are working for him, he's obviously able to execute my shell script itself. What else might I be missing? The other developer has an OMVS segment, but he doesn't have an initial working directory or default shell configured yet. Could that be the issue? If so, what specifically is causing this particular issue?JCL://DVRJZTST JOB ,'Test',CLASS=C,REGION=0M,NOTIFY=&SYSUID//*//UNI

Status: DeclinedAppreciate the idea. From our experience, the complexity of ChangeMan is best with training. Also, ChangeMan is quite customizable and tutorials for ChangeMan may end up to generic to add any real value as each customer process is different. Recently we have built short videos around certain topics such as REST APIs as well as the new integrations with ZOWE CLI and VSCode Explorer. We will continue to build on those. HiIn the current patch-4 version, we don't see a tutorial reference. This could be a nice feature that will help / assist developers, especially for the new one's who are familiar in eclipse but not in ISPF. Good to have this documentation facility.Regards#TutorialReference

Status: DeclinedAppreciate the IDEA Rajesh. However at this time, we will not able to add this to the next major release. Some functionality was not designed to be supported by Client Pack due to the complexities. Hi While performing some tests in CMN plugin patch4 version, it's been noticed that online form feature is not supported. It would be really good as many users would expect this feature to be in place once it's completely rolled out to all. Thanks to take in account and let us know. Regards#OnlineFormsinCMNplugin

I am trying to install miniconda to allow me to obtain git and other open-source tools and have downloaded and downloaded and transferred miniconda onto my z/OS system (V2.4) and run the miniconda install. (miniconda-zos-1.2-2020-10-01.run and appdev_bundle_1.0)This gives the following NotWritableError to a file / sub-directory within my user home directory during the install. I do not believe I should be changing the permissions as suggested - the userid I ran the install under has the appropriate permissions / authority and is in SYS1 group.Re-running the install gives the same error as it looks like ".conda" directory is created as part of the install. Although the base conda install seems complete it would appear the install process has not finished Can you please tell me what I need to change to successfully complete the install of miniconda------------------------------Clive HarrissIBM UK------------------------------

Hi All.I have the IBM Open Enterprise Python 3.8 for z/OS installed and I am now trying to install the z/OS Miniconda. After I have executed command "./miniconda-py37-zos-2020-10-01.run --path /usr/RocketSW/miniconda/" everything looked good until the " installing extra_pkgs to the base env" phase. At that point I got an error (showed at the very bottom of this message) that I have no idea how to fix.

Hi all,I am a bit concerned seeing how much diskspace git 2.26.2-78 uses.When I have installed miniconda the `~/miniconda` directory uses approx. 508MBNow after having installed git: `conda install -c zoss-appdev git` which includes ```curl: 7.66.0-1 zoss-appdev expat: 2.2.9-4 zoss-appdev git: 2.26.2-pl524_78 zoss-appdev libtag: 1.4-1 zoss-appdev perl: 5.24.4-4 zoss-appdev``` the `~/miniconda` directory uses approx 1.6GB disk space.Looking at the Rocket Ported Tools I find curl   202MBperl 128MBgit 164MBIf I sum this up I get approx 490MB.As I cannot see that expat and libtag utilize much diskpace I am asking myself why git 2.26.2-78 uses so much diskspace. Any idea what's going on here?Thanks a lot,Manfred------------------------------Manfred LotzIBM------------------------------

Git 2.26 for z/OS has been released and is generally available via conda for download and installation. In addition to the platform-independent changes between Git release 2.14.5 and 2.26.2, the following changes apply to the z/OS port. Many more character encodings are now supported on z/OS The Git encoding (the character encoding used in the Git server repositories) for text will now always be UTF-8 There are no longer 'default' encodings applied for files in the working tree. This means that, for any given file, if no treatment is specified in gitattributes file: Git will not set a file tag during clone/checkout Git will not allow a tagged file to be added to the index *** It is important to read the release notes section: Migrating from Git for z/OS 2.3.5 or Git for z/OS 2.14.4.z/OS Git 2.26 is *only* available for download and install via conda, the new download and install system for all z/OS open source language and tool ports.------------------------------Peter FandelRocket S

In the older forum there was a comment  by someone at Rocket that Git 2.26 was being worked on and targeted for Q3.Wondering if there is any update on that and if Q3 is still the target?------------------------------Lionel B.
