Rocket Mainframe DevOps

I have a git repository in my uss folder and i am trying to clone that to my windows workstation. I gave the following command in my local git bash git clone usrid@host-url:/u/usrid/mainfolder/repo.git/ This initially prompts for my host password. Once that is provided, it proceeds with the clone but ends with the following error. Can you please help with this ? git-upload-pack: FSUM7351 not found fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

If I leave ChangeMan connected for a long time without any activities it stops working.Can I set a kind of "keep alive" to prevent this?Developers hate it - if they need to attend a meeting they have the same problem. If they left with an open unsaved member there are big troubles.#Keepalive#ENQ#ChangeManZMF#ZMF4ECL

What, if any, tools are available to use with git mergetool under z/OS? Is there a way to use ISPF tools (compare, edit) ?

I’m working with your git port - KUDOS - from z/OS using bpxwunix to invoke the git commands. I’ve found that the vast majority of git commands work fine using this type of call: x = bpxwunix(cmd,so.,se.,env.) where cmd = any git command so. is the standard output se. is the standard error env. is a stem with the omvs environment variables However, some commands - git shortlog - for example return nothing in either the return code (x) or the so. or se. stems. There may be others besides shortlog but that’s the one i was trying to work with. Any pointers/advice/suggestions? thanks #git #bpxwunix #rexx

I just started to try git z/OS in our env. following some steps in git documentation website I have successfully clone a repository, create a branch (git branch testing) When I issue the command git log --oneline --decorate It has this error message: fatal: cannot run less: EDC5129I No such file or directory less is not a standard zOS OMVS shell command, it should be in bash. the error appears that it can not find the less command. did a echo $GIT_SHELL, output is /_PRDS/PTZ/bash/bin/bash, which is our Rocket bash installation directory. Any expert here know what’s the problem ?

f2 = open(’//DD:SYSIN’,‘r’) fails with FileNotFoundError: .Errno 129. EDC5129I No such file or directory.: ‘//DD:SYSIN’

The simplest python program print(‘hello’) fails with 9. JCL is: //BPX EXEC PGM=BPXBATSL, // PARM=‘PGM /C/Rocket/python36/bin/python /a/private_folder/test.py’ //* //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //* //STDENV DD * PATH=$PATH:$HOME:/C/Rocket/python36/bin PYTHON_HOME=/C/Rocket/python36 PYTHON_PATH=/C/Rocket/python36/lib/python3.6 LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:$PYTHON_HOME/lib LANG=C LC_ALL=en_US TERM=xterm _BPX_SHAREAS=YES _BPX_BATCH_SPAWN=YES _BPXK_AUTOCVT=“ON” //* STDERR contains some garbage: …?..%…%…`…?>……?../…>?..?.>…?…?…%…>… If I change BPXBATSL to BPXBATCH with sh instead of pgm in PARM, then job is successful, but I’m going to use DDNs in the future scripts. Is there any idea why the code fails and how to see normal letters? Python 3.6.1

Hello, We’re trying to get pip3 and aws cli working and we’re encountering this error: $ pip3 --trusted-host xxx install -v --log ./pip3verbose.log --index-url https://xxx/repository/pypi-all/simple awscli --upgrade --use> ÈÇ?: pip3 1: FSUM7351 not found “–ø: pip3 1: FSUM7351 not found ÈÇ?: pip3 1: FSUM7351 not found pip3 1: FSUM7343 cannot open “/%_/Ñ” for output: EDC5129I No such file or directory. pip3 1: FSUM7343 cannot open “€Ñ_ø?ÊÈ€_/Ñ” for output: EDC5129I No such file or directory. pip3 1: FSUM7343 cannot open “/Á^^€€^/Ñ” for output: EDC5129I No such file or directory. pip3 1: syntax error: got ), expecting Newline We’ve set BPXK_AUTOCVT to ON Any ideas on how to start troubleshooting this?

There is an error when I invoke MAKE with --output-sync even if --jobs is not specified: fcntl(): EDC5121I Invalid argument. (errno2=0x055501B0) The same behavior under shell and bash. I see no impact on the build process, but I think that it isn’t normal to see this message every time when I run the build. Steps to reproduce: Create main.cpp: int main() { return 0; } Create Makefile:all: main.o %.o: %.cpp c++ -+ -o $@ $< Run: make --output-sync

Hi, thanks for producing the ports for these tools! We installed our Rocket tools into /usr/local/rocket/** and I’m hitting an issue with git and https remote repositories. Here’s an example error: -bash-4.2$ _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/local/rocket/libexec git clone https://github.com/my/project Cloning into ‘project’… warning: templates not found /rsusr/rocket/share/git-core/templates fatal: Unable to find remote helper for ‘https’ I can not seem to get https git cloning working, is it a known issue? I have tried with and without the GIT_EXEC_PATH override which seems to be a standard way of overriding the location of the git libexec path. Please assist, thanks! -J

Hi there, I’m using git on Unix System Services. We have our repository in UTF-8 because we’re have problems with cloning using our “standard-Codepage” IBM-1141. Filehandling in ISPF etc is no problem, we convert the files using iconv and git processing is fine. Now I want to use “git show” to have a look into previous versions of a specific file. But when I want to save the output of the command, it’s a bit weird. For example, in my Code there is EBCDIC “04” (non displayable character). Saving it in our repsitory, I convert it to UTF-8, so it’s getting a double-byte “C2 9C”. That’s fine. With “git show HEAD:FILENAME” I’m getting hex “62 04”. There are several more examples. We alse have Problems with our german special chars like “äöü”. So “ä” it’s in UTF-8 -> hex C3 A4 with git show it’s HEX 66 9F. The last example seems like there is a code-translation from ASCII to EBCDIC, because ASCII C3 is EBCDIC 66 ans ASCII A4 is EBCDIC 9F. I’ve tried also using the repository in IBM-1141.

Status: DeliveredDelivered in ZMF 8.2 Patch 4.Create “Unlock Component” Security Entity CheckAs of ChangeMan ZMF version 8.1.0.01, the only people that can unlock a component is either the person that locked the component or a ChangeMan ZMF Global Administrator. In our team, we have people that do more of the “day-to-day” activities that help-out our ChangeMan ZMF users and we also have people that are experienced ChangeMan ZMF administrators. All people on our team sometimes need to unlock components within a ChangeMan ZMF package; however, some people on our team are not yet educated to do ChangeMan ZMF administration. Thus, we had changed their Global and Application Admin access to READ instead of UPDATE. However, not surprisingly, we had found that they had lost their ability to unlock components for other people because of this access change to READ. It would seem appropriate that a new security entity check be created called “Unlock Components Entity Check” within Application

We recently procured Python support for Z from Rocket. Does rocket provide any documentation/reference material?

Hello, we just installed the new distribution of cURL 7.66.0 on our z/OS V2.2 system, but the first test wasn’t successful. We got a system abend S0C1 with the following message: CEE3201S The system detected an operation exception (System Completion Code=0C1) From entry point Curl_vsetopt at compile unit offset +0000000028D40146 at entry offset +000000000000422E at address 0000000028D40146. Are there any ideas, what’s going wrong there? Thanks for any help. Kind regards. Juergen

Hi, are you planning to port python 3.7 on Z? Is there a roadmap or something similar? Thankyou.

I am trying to execute a simple python code on z/OS USS. The code was working fine until I added code to assign values to a dictionary. When I run my code, it displays unprintable characters in the output at the code location where I assign a value to the dictionary. ie., in line d[“Alias”] = line[0:4] It appears that square brackets ‘[’ are not valid. When I run the same code in my workstation using pycharm editor, it runs fine. So, I am not sure what the issue is. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue ? d = {} file1 = open(inp_file_path,“r”) line = file1.readline().strip() while line!="": d[“Alias”] = line[0:4] jsonstr = json.dumps(d) line = file1.readline.strip() file1.close() print(jsonstr) Here is the output in the job: File “/u/test/python/pyfilr.py”, line 15 dï…"Alias"ï… = lineï…0:4ï… ¬ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hello everyone,   It seems that a same hllx exits is called for two different users actions. For example, exit BULD00XC (cmponent.checkin.service) have been activated in the Changeman administration menus, in order to run a customized Rexx program when the user do a right click->Checkin on a file in a package in ChangeMan explorer.But it appears that the HLLx is also called when the user has opened the file in edit mode and click on save.This runs the customized Rexx at an unwanted moment.Someone has already find a way to identify that the action is a checkin or a save or anything else? ThanksPascal#Other#ChangeManZMF#Announcement

Hi Everyone: I have been searching around the net and what I noticed is that there are Serena products with Jenkins plugin but did not find any for ChangeMan ZMF. Is Jenkins really not supported in ChangeMan ZMF? Use Case: We are looking at trying to trigger some other toolset (i.e SonarQube) after a successful compile in ZMF. Thank you. Regards, Darwin#ChangeManZMF

Hello everbody, We have thoughts about integrating Sonar in our build process. Is Serena working on a way to launch Jenkins or directly Sonar from Serena ZMF? thanks. Pascal#ChangeManZMF

Status: DeliveredIncluded in ZMF 8.3We need to have ability to upfdate some stage parms added to HLLX code to disable comparison reports Enable comparisonReport(BULDCMPR) & comparisonText(BULDCMPT) fields in BULD0101 exit.  Certain fields like comparisonReport(BULDCMPR), comparisonText(BULDCMPT), componentListMode(BULDDMOD) can be modified only from exit BULD0x12. Please enable these options in BULD0101 exit for direct usage from stage primary panel.   Example. In panel CMNSTG02  and CMNSTG01 we wanted to disable CMPRPT for select component types that will cause S0C4 errors due to record length. )PROC &PKGE = TRUNC(&PKGNAME,4) IF (&PKGE EQ 'PDBA') IF (&CMPTYPE EQ 'EXC','JOB','OBJ','UTL') &CMPRPT = 'NO' We would like the HLLX relagted to panels below to have adjustment for panel variables related to compare report.
