Rocket Mainframe DevOps

Status: Waiting for VotesWaiting for VotesSeveral groups within our company are tracking developer productivity to determine who are active developers and how often changes are committed.    We would like data extracts to allow generation of data to be sent to our Application Development teams so the groups can track developer productivity.  The intent is to track each time a developer changes a piece of code or migrates the code to production. The ideal data format would be XML with data similar to the ChangeMan activity logs that are part of the ChangeMan log/recovery processes.

I apologize, but I couldn´t find any jcl sample to run gzip in batch mode.

Hello, I’d like to install R packages I got from CRAN repository, for example, RJDBC. First, I tried to install rJava package because it is required for RJDBC. I get rJava_0.9-8.tar.gz from CRAN site and upload to z/OS USS. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rJava/index.html And then I issued install command but failed. $ R -e 'install.packages(c("rJava_0.9-8.tar.gz"), repos = NULL, type="source")' R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) -- "Sincere Pumpkin Patch" Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: i370-ibm-openedition (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

I’m trying to set up a CVS server on our mainframe to be used as the code repository for Eclipse (Running on Windows). After mucking about with the inetd.conf, we got it going, but when I try to connect from the PC I get the following message: cvs [login aborted]: dbg: res = -1, pccsid = 819, fccsid = 1047, Any help would be appreciated. One final question: Is anyone else using CVS to manage the code repository for eclipse developers, who are running on the PC (ie ASCII) platform.

Hi, I am struggling embedding TCL in a C application. It looks like the provided library is built with the XPLINK option.

Status: Waiting for VotesWaiting for VotesZDD doesn't support 'component change description' when staging versions are enabledWhen a component is unlocked after editing, and when staging versions are enabled, there is no windows where we can provide a component change description. This is a missing feature in ZDD. One could consider this to be a bug, as we can view the satging versions in the interface so the change description should be made vailable to be updated

Git 2.3.5 for z/OS has been released for general availability. It has not yet appeared on Rocket’s public download page but you can access it and its prerequisite installs via these links: README.ZOS Release notes for Git 2.3.5 for zOS.pdf git 2.3.5 bash 4.3 perl 5.24 unzip 6.0 gzip 1.6

Hello, folks… I have downloaded Bash 4.2.53 from Rocket Software site for installation in a z/OS V2R2 environment. The download was successful and the file downloaded was “bash-4.2_b0005.160513.tar.gz”. However, when I upload (in binary mode) to z/OS’s USS and try to “tar” it (tar zxvf bash-4.2_b0005.160513.tar.gz) I receive an error message indicating that the file is not in compressed format. I haven’t found any clue in this forum… Can you please help me with this issue? An additional detail: I discovered a link to the theoretically newer file “bash-4.3_b0008.160714.tar.gz” but the same error occurs. Thank you very much and best regards. Gustavo Lozano IBM Brazil

Did any tried running RocketPerl with Tomcat in USS (z/OS 2.1) ? I did not find any evidence about it on the net (internet).

The first beta release of z/OS git has been out for five weeks now and has proved extremely stable. Only two bugs reported with about a dozen users. The second beta adds support for git archive facility and the perl-dependent features such as interactive command options. The second beta is now in internal test and will be available in 5 to 10 days. Reply to this post if you are interested in trying out git for z/OS. Best, -Peter

Using curl 7.42.1 (i370-ibm-openedition) through a firewall with an HTTP proxy like: http_proxy=http://redacted.com:80 ALL_PROXY="$http_proxy" export http_proxy ALL_PROXY trying to fetch: tp://service.boulder.ibm.com/s390/holddata/month.txt I get a strange behavior such that the first few thousand bytes of the file when translated from EBCDIC to ASCII (that’s right!) appear as EBCDIC. The rest of the file is proper EBCDIC. curl -q 'ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/s390/holddata/month.txt;type=I’ curl -q 'ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/s390/holddata/month.txt;type=A’ produce identical bad results. – gil

I had a minor stumbling block with the git beta I’d like to share The README.ZOS says to turn on some ASCII auto-conversion, but if you have never ssh’ed to your git repo before, the ebcdic ssh client will run w/ the auto-convert environment and mess up the interactive output and not take your ebcdic input (if you type ‘y’ and guess when you see the garbled interactive msg) Obvious workaround is one-time ssh w/o the auto convert environment variables. Medium term, it might make sense to have an ssh wrapper that unsets that stuff when it’s called from git.

Here’s a sequence that I have used successfully to set up a repo that is shared between Linux and z/OS. The initial set up is a bit clumsy, but once complete, it’s then easy to push and pull from either platform. Set up an ssh key pair that enables you to ssh from z/OS to Linux without a password. The next set of commands are run on the Linux host. Create a bare repository on Linux. [myuserid@linuxhost ~]$ git init myrepo.git --bare Initialized empty Git repository in /home/myuserid/myrepo.git/ [myuserid@linuxhost ~]$ Clone the bare repo on Linux. [myuserid@linuxhost ~]$ git clone myrepo.git myrepo Initialized empty Git repository in /home/myuserid/myrepo/.git/ warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. [myuserid@linuxhost ~]$ cd into the repo, then create, add and commit the .gitignore and .gitattribute files.

I am testing out php 5.4.4-b00005 under IHS 8.5.5.10, and am getting the message “no input file found”. I run the php using the cgi script #!/bin/sh /usr/local/php/bin/php-cgi “$@” I did try to go to B00006, that build will not run on our z9 processor. Thanks, Peter

I want to set up stored procedures in our ChangeMan system using native SQL. For the most part I've got it working but for some settings our DBA team want to lock down so users cannot override them. How would I go about doing that? Just wondered if anyone else has done this?#ChangeManZMF

running change ZMF release 5.3.6 on zos 2.1 having issue with promote. the promote appears to work and move the executables the promotion history screen is not getting update to show complete. Thus other actions like demote and freeze can not be done. We can manually correct the promotion master vasm file to to get the status updated to completed. Noticed on the component promotion status screen that the date is 1960/01/01.Look at this date changeman promotions issue.docx#ChangeManZMF

Hi...Has anyone changed CMNEX027 so that people can demote from a site but not promote without the proper RACF authority? Thanks#ChangeManZMF
