Rocket Mainframe DevOps

Hi all, sorry if I'm asking something that is not directly related to Rocket Software, but I figured this forum could be my best chance to get an answer, as Google let me down this time 🙁 I am trying to check for the existence of a directory and create it if it doesn't exist. I'd like to do it in just one command, so I coded this:cmd = "test | -e '"||ussLibSvil||"/"||_path||"' && mkdir -p "||ussLibSvil||"/"||_pathussrc = bpxwunix(cmd,,stdout.,stderr.,,0) The command contained in the cmd variable works correctly if I enter it directly at the shell pormpt. However, when run from Rexx code I get this error (the output is mangled by my error trap routine): Command: test ! -e '/u/sigdc/sigdc.hna.gitdev/source' && mkdir -p /u/sigdc/sigdc.hna.gitdev/source Error: cannot continue (RC = 127)Error Detail: CMD: FSUM7351 not found *** I think that the problem lies in the concatenation of commands with "&&", but I can't find a way to fix it. Maybe I need to escape those amp

Status: DeliveredThanks for this example of how to overcome this situation Ron.   We don't feel we need to change the product for this at this time but this will be a useful template for others encountering the same situation. We can revisit this if there is further interest in us doing so.CMN$$CHT.SKL.txtNote that this idea could also be useful for automatic source code standards enforcement processes that are set up within ChangeMan ZMF. We are modifying our Pro/JCL syntax scan batch process to also reformat our JCL-related components as well as do JCL-related standards enforcement.  Currently, using the in-house created “JCLSCAN” procedure that creates a batch job submitted during staging, the batch job runs a Pro/JCL syntax scan, prepares JCL runbook(s), and then generates an INFO/X reports.  A requirement has come-up to run a JCL, PROC, etc. reformat and standards enforcement process using Pro/JCL before running the Pro/JCL syntax scan.  This means th

I get this message when using openssl.  We did not install openssl in /rsusr/rocket, but instead used a different path.  Shouldn't openssl base the location of the openssl.cnf file on the location of the openssl binary?  Should we just "bite the bullet" and install it (or set a symbolic link from) /rsusr/rocket?

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.

#GITGit 2.14.4 does not seem to support the submodule functionality Will 2.26.2 support submodule functionality? Where can i find the documentation of features supported in the respected versions of Git? ​​​

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------------------------------
