Hello. After download the file “curl-7.52.1_b006.170926.tar.gz” on Windows I extracted it using Winrar. Then the extracted folder was copied to zOS Unix using IDz. I have exported the environment variables on zOS Unix console (PATH, LIBPATH, etc) When I run the command “curl” on console, this message is returned: curl: FSUM9209 cannot execute: reason code = 053b006c: EDC5129I No such file or directory. My zOS Unix version is 02.02.00 How to fix it? There are more configs to do? Thx

Hi, currently Python 3.6.1 comes with the package scikit-learn release 0.18.2. Unfortunately it does not support everything we need. At this point I am wondering if there are any plans to port newer release of scikit-learn - 0.19.2. Thank you, Jacob

Status: DeclinedThanks for the IDEA Johan. Unfortunately after doing more research, this will cause major rewrite and could introduce risk. Based on that, we'll have to decline this request.As compilers (COBOL and PL1) are now using integrated pre-compilers one can end up from 1 source with multiple DBRMs that will need to be bound in the same  physical DB2      We are migrating to COBOL 6.2 and Enterprise PL1 5.2 and our going to be using the integrated CICS and DB2 pre-compiler As in certain cases sources are compiled multiple times depending the addressing mode or type of execution environment one might end up with possible three different DBRMs origintaing from the same source. From and administrative level in Changeman one could create a logical environment in the physical DB2 (one for each type of DBRM) Unfortuantely ZMF doesn't support this. Right now this has been cicumvented through skeleton customisation, but this should be out of the box. Are there any othe customers

Rather than downloading the various z/OS Open Source Tools by manually clicking on the web site, is it possible or has anyone used a scripted routine to perform the downloads?

Hello, based on the routines for other Open Source z/OS software (see SMP/E installation for Open Source z/OS software ) we created procedures to make it possible to install ZOWE with SMP/E. Everyone who is interested in further details, please respond here. Kind regards Juergen Kehr

HI, I installed python3.6 and it had pip 9.0.1 installed. Since it suggested me to upgrade pip, I upgraded and then on, the executable always fail to launch.

Hello, In your organization, do you use Groff to convert Text files to Portable Document Format PDF? Or do you use another solution? Guillaume

Status: DeliveredDeliveredWhen double-clicking a component you will get into browsemode. This is not like windows usually works - double-click will open a file in edit-mode. If this for some reason is important to someone - please make an option in PReference->Setting for "Double-click opens component in edit-mode".

Status: DeliveredDeliveredERO only recognizes the LCT libtype for link cards.  Allow ERO to recognize custom link deck types that are define with a like type of link deck (K).

Status: DeliveredDeliveredCMNEX019 gives will be called before/after checkout and before/after checkout. But when performin a "stage" of a non-SRC component the exit CMNEX019 is also called.  When a component is modified and saved, the exit is called and the checkin indicators are enabled. This is indepedent for a like-SRC component or a non like-SRC component. When a like-SRC component is "staged" (so no change took place) the exit is not called (obvious as no checkin took place) However when a non like-SRC is "staged" (so no change took place) the exit is called and the checkin indicators are enabled. To better differentiate CHECKOUT/CHECKIN/BUILD it would be nice to see an additional indicator in the exit eg. x19$sbld and x19$ebld (before and after build - aka stage) For a like-SRC this would be just before the kickoff of the file tailoring For a non like-SRC as it is performing today. 

Hello, could you tell me if a solution is planned to use exits CMNEXnnn in ZMF4ECL? We used tu use a lot of them in Changeman (for example at the editor opening etc...) and we're searching a way to use them from ZMF4ECL. thanks Pascal#ChangeManZMF

I’ve just installed GNU bash, version 4.2.53(1)-release (i370-ibm-openedition) on Z/OS 2.3 and I’m somewhat confused by what config files bash uses at startup From …//share/doc/bash/4.3/README.ZOS the doc sartes Non-interactive mode The bash shell proceses configuration files in the following order: (1) /etc/bash.bashrc (2) ~/.bashrc Login-shell The bash login shell processes configuration files in the following order: (1) ~/.bash_profile (2) ~/.bash_login (3) ~/.profile Non-login shell The bash shell executes a file “~/.bashrc” The results for a non-login shell matches the doc However I do a: bash echo.sh (which I assume is a non-interactive shell) I see no config files executed If I try bash --login I onle see the follwoingt cofig file excured /etc/profile ~/…bash_profile

We have openssl installed but when I issue the following command results in no peer certificate and No client certificate CA names sent.

We are successfully using standalone Python and Python API in z/OS 2.2 except one thing. In standalone Python print() statements produce output that is correctly displayed on a screen (thanks to _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON). However when we use API (with the same environment variables exported) the output from print() statements appears to be in ASCII. When this happens the stderr contains a line tput: unknown terminal “/pgm/u/myHomeDir” Our application is compiled as EBCDIC and switches environment to ASCII before using any API calls. Any idea what can be done to make print statements work? Thank you Best regards Jacob

Is there a date/ETA for when Postfix for z/OS is available for download? I have a pre-GA version and am unable to install it in our test environment, so I was wondering when the final version would be available.

I ran into problems downloading the .Tar file to the file system i created on z/OS. I created a file system with cyl(5000 150) When i TAR python-2017-04-12-py27.tar it run a long time and eventually runs out of space. I cant believe this file is actually this big. How big should my filesystem be? I followed your directions on installation of Rocket z/OS open source tools product. I appreciate your assistance.

Hi, I have some trouble moving curl for z/OS from version 7.16.1 to 7.52.1. We call curl from a program written in REXX (using bpxbatch routine) to call a websevice on a remote (non z/OS) server; this webservice returns data already encoded in EBCDIC. Using the old version the data is retrieved with the correct encoding, while the new version shows bad encoded data; I obtain the same behaviour even if I call curl from ISHELL or BPXBATCH. Please note that we need to get the data from the stdout without writing it to a unix file (If I use the -o option to write to a unix file the data is written with the correct encoding). This is what happens with curl for z/OS version 7.16.1: curl -v --header “Xml-Stylesheet:/xsl/tws-ws2zos.xsl” --user “***:***” “http://***” HPUC0330 About to connect() to *** port 80 (#0) HPUC0016 Trying ...… HPUC0017 connected HPUC0331 Connected to *** (...) port 80 HPUC0143 Server auth using Basic with user ‘***’ GET *** HTTP/1.1.

I’ve installed Vim for z/OS. So far everything works as expected, except for that the Ctrl key mapping in my .vimrc is not working. for example, I have these key mappings in my .vimrc, and they are not working. map <C-d> :NERDTreeToggle<CR> map <C-j> <C-W>j map <C-k> <C-W>k map <C-h> <C-W>h map <C-l> <C-W>l

The following is for git repos on z/OS using git for z version 2.3.5. Our enterprise remote server is bitbucket v5.16.0 as of this writing. We are currently having encoding issues with bitbucket during PR merges; it is trying to encode from UTF-8 to ibm-1047 and failing, blocking any PR’s from being merged. An extract from our bitbucket logs: c.a.s.i.s.g.p.DefaultPullRequestAutoMergeStrategy CPDC/ci[6631]: Pull request 45@2 failed automatic merging: '/opt/git-2.19.0/bin/git merge -m Automatic merge --no-ff --no-log --allow-unrelated-histories cf734c8c560b13df7a76624b6296e4f75684f161' exited with code 0 saying: error: failed to encode 'NET#C/ciuba#c.cbl' from UTF-8 to ibm-1047 This issue was not present before and only began cropping up recently. Could this have something to do with the “working-tree-encoding” attribute now being used by distributed platforms like bitbucket server, and trying to convert to IBM-1047 on bitbucket server? We are currently running git 2.3.5 which does not h

It has been a long road today and I am going nowhere. I am reinstalling z/Open Source files after a install of z/OS 2.3. I strongly suspect that the tar file is being corrupted as it bounces around on its way to z/OS. Here are the steps I used. A download from the Rocket web site to my downloads file directory. A PC move from downloads to a desktop folder (for convenience) A Win/SCP BINARY (yes BINARY) transfer from my PC to a personal directory on z/os (/u/tech905.RocketOpen) The tar command is run (using the minimal instructions from the website AND from an example here in the forum) Both Get message tar: checksum error on tape (got 4355, expected 0) Of course, without gzip I cannot extract and test any of the other downloaded files. Is there a way to do a direct download from Rocket to z/OS? Where did this bouncing file get broken??

I have an API server running in my z/OS 2.3. If I use curl from OMVS to test the API I get the following error: /usr/lpp/ported/curl/bin>curl https://192.168.48.41:7050/zosConnect/apis -v -k --user ‘uuuuuuuu:pppppppp’ Trying 192.168.48.41… TCP_NODELAY set Connected to 192.168.48.41 (192.168.48.41) port 7050 (Ñ0) ALPN, offering h2 ALPN, offering http/1.1 Cipher selection: ALL:]EXPORT:]EXPORT40:]EXPORT56:]aNULL:]LOW:]RC4:@STRENGTH TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS header, Certificate Status (22): TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1): Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 192.168.48.41:7050 Curl_http_done: called premature == 1 stopped the pause stream] Closing connection 0 curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 192.168.48.41:7050 But if I use the curl in my Linux laptop, the response is correct: curl https://192.168.48.41:7050/zosConnect/apis -v -k --user ‘uuuuuuuu:pppppppp’ About to connect() to 192.168.48.41 port 7050 (#0) Trying 192.168.48.41… Connected to 192.

Does anyone know how to open a MVS dataset in python 3.6.1? And how to refer to a DD name in JCL? I have tried using open("//‘xxx.xxx.xxx’) and it returned ‘FileNotFoundError’ but the file is definitely exist! I can access the file in USS without any problem.

Has anybody ever been asked to have ChangeMan ZMF set up to invoke IBMs Fault Analyzer to check developer code during the audit process? Our developers use Fault Analyzer to sometimes check their program/transaction code and want to have it checked after they make their component changes via ChangeMan ZMF, but prior to the promote or install process. Just curious if anybody has tried it.#ChangeManZMF

I am started researching coding Cobol Object Oriented skeletons on Changeman ZMF and was wondering if other ZMF shops are using or preparing to use Cobol OO on ZMF systems. I checked with Serena support and they do not have skeletons defined for Cobol oo.#ChangeManZMF
