Status: DeclinedUnfortunately, after further research, this is not an enhancement we would be able to deliver.Hi The software analyzer feature in IDz doesn't seems to work as expected for cobol coding rule checking in the CMN perspective (from patch4 plugin edition). Please note, this feature working fine when the cobol source is checked from the 'remote system explorer' perspective. From developer's point of view, it would nice to have this feature in changeman perspective mode, thus it will be easy and quick to scan the program using the predefined software analyzer rules.

This is sudo version 1.8.21p2Whe I ran sudo there were complaints about setuid bits aso. After I have corrected all that stuff the sudo binary looks like follows:# ls -lEn sudo---s--x--x -p-- 1 0 0 11964416 Apr 7 06:13 sudoIf I run `sudo -l` as a normal user I getsudo: kerb5: unable to parse 'DEMNT15': Configuration file does not specify default realmWhere and how do I specify a default realm?Thanks, Manfred------------------------------Manfred LotzIBM------------------------------

My colleague reinstalled sudo yesterday from the conda distribution. Today I discovered that only the beginning portion of cat5/sudo.8 is there. We're on the public path, but this really is a problem. Can you please fix this and let us know when the correct man file is available?Cheers,Ray Mullins​------------------------------Ray MullinsSr. Software DeveloperTrident ServicesRoseville CA United States------------------------------

Just started running sudo with a sudoers file that allows me to run ps -ef  to see all USS processes running.sudo -l(BPXROOT) NOPASSWD: /bin/psAfter issuing sudo ps -ef, I see the expected output but noticed two of these RACF error messages in the system log.I wouldn't expect to need READ access to the resource.  What am I missing in configuration?ICH408I USER(xxxxxxxx ) GROUP(xxxxxxxx ) NAME(xxxxxxxx )BPX.DAEMON CL(FACILITY) INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY ACCESS INTENT(READ ) ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE )thanks------------------------------Gary GrossiIT Director, Z SystemsAlight Solutions------------------------------

I compared my environment before activating sudo and after and found that the activate defines /conda/envs/sudo/lib in the LIBPATH but there is no /lib under /sudo ...?Is this a known 'bug' in the conda setup for sudo?

Hi All,One of our z/OS customer plans to replace PKZIP for z/OS with another product. Can we use zip / Unzip, which is among the free products of Rocket Software, instead of PKZIP for z/OS?Does anyone have any comments or suggestions about this?Best Regards.Bulent.

Hello, all.I need to install 'bash' and 'make' here on my z/OS 2.4 USS system.

Hi   Just for info. & hopefull an answer ��   Miniconda z/OS - you have a reference in file appdev_manifest_1.1.1.txt  to file appdev_bundle_1.1.txt But, I cant' locate or find this file appdev_bundle_1.1.txt in the 'Miniconda'  download from Rocket Software – have I overlooked something here ?    File appdev_bundle_1.0.txt has below statement:   # $ conda create --name <env> --channel  zoss-appdev --file appdev_bundle_1.1.txt   The only file I can see in 'Miniconda' download is: appdev_bundle_1.0.txt   Venlig hilsen/Best regards Tonny Petersen Z/Infrastructure Systemprogrammør Direct +4563639190 Mobile +4521376517 tpe@jndata.dk

Due to the way Rocket have decided to add shebangs to the top of Python scripts (wrongly in my opinion but that's another story) I have tried to re-install miniconda.  During the initial install it asked for the location of Python, however, on the re-install it doesn't and uses the original value supplied.How to I change that initial value?​​

I have to access the internet via a proxy server.  What/how can this be specified inside conda?  I know the .condarc file contains the channel URL to which I have already arranged access.

Hello, i use cURL to send files via FTPS to IBM. No Problem with textfiles, but when i send a dump-file the is a problem: it has incorrect DCB attributes. I call cURL from MVS with BPXBATCH. The dump-file is copied from MVS to USS with OCOPY command and then transfered in binary format. I tried to use the SITE comand, but it is not accepted. Have anyone an idea? Thanks for help. Sven

With the IBM z/OS supplied man pages it is easy to find the command you want by using the command:     man -k xxxxxThis will NOT find any of the conda installed man pages even if the MANPATH has been updated correctly.Note: I can do a 'man gunzip' to read the specific man page which indicates the MANPATH is correct but 'man -k gunzip' finds nothing.The -k explanation is:  Searches a precomputed database of syntax lines for information about keywords.Is there a way to update, or rebuild, the man precomputed database?------------------------------LionelDyck

Hello!We just upgraded to a new version of python on Z using mini-conda. It worked great. The only issue we have is that pip doesn't seem to be included in the new install.  Is that correct? Is it hiding elsewhere or is this a DIY kind of thing where we'll have to download from elsewhere and install?  Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

My first glance at MiniConda. It appears to be customized on a single system installation concept. Historically we have installed the OpenSource tools easily into each products own ZFS dataset mounted on the maintenance path. Propagation to all the other systems occurred via DFDSS backup of said ZFS dataset to be restored and renamed as required on each target system.In simple terms can anyone document how this install/maintain/propagate process could be performed using MiniConda in Z/OS.I have started reading the User Manuals @ https://docs.conda.io and my initial impression is that it is similar in concept to APT in DEBIAN LINUX.Additionally what firewall rules would I need to get this working?RegardsBruce------------------------------Bruce HewsonCitibank------------------------------

When installing miniconda via OMVS from a 3270 session there are many times when the INPUT indicator displays on the screen. If one presses ENTER then those enter commands are buffered resulting in a problem at this prompt:Configure to use Rocket's secure conda server?

What is the recommendation for how to deploy a specific level of Python, a specific level of Git, and a specific level of Bash to one lpar?  And then to deploy different levels of each to a different lpar?Do I create an environment for each lpar in its own filesystem (conda create -n lpar1 .....) and then deploy (aka copy) that filesystem to that lpar?  Then repeat for lpar2, etc. ?When I do that do I have to do a conda activate lpar1 on lpar1 or conda activate lpar2 on lpar2?Are there any gotcha's or concerns?------------------------------Lionel Dyck

The Launch Talk about great timing!  Just four weeks after starting with the company, Micro Focus held their largest event of the year – Universe.  I was too new to be a presenter and everyone else was incredibly busy, so you might say I was left to take full advantage of the Universe by myself.  I hope you’ll enjoy seeing what the Universe looked like from my perspective. Let’s start our tour with CEO Stephen Murdoch’s opening keynote featuring Jaguar Racing’s Formula E.  Of course, he spoke about the effects of the pandemic, but I was most impressed with how he turned the challenges into opportunities for Micro Focus and our clients.  Businesses already knew that they needed to transform their technology, but the timer had run out.  The pandemic made adapting to the immediate issues and preparing for an increasingly “dynamic” future simultaneously urgent.  The time for digital transformation is now. My Galaxy: AMC Neil Fowler (VP and GM of AMC) mentioned two things that reall
