z/OS V2.1 R 3.3.2 I used fread() function provided by data.table package to read csv file. I got the following error when I tried to read a large csv file (about 5GB). Error in fread(fileName, header = FALSE, data.table = FALSE) : Opened file ok, obtained its size on disk (0.0MB), but couldn't memory map it. This is a 64bit machine so this is surprising. Please report to datatable-help. It’s ok when I use smaller file (about 1GB). Do you have any idea to solve this issue? Regards. Tomohiro Taguchi

Rocket is pleased to announce the pre-release of Vim 8.0.22 for z/OS. This port has been in use for a couple of months internally at Rocket by our developers, however we have not had time to run a full QA suite. Thus this is not considered GA quality. Please go to the Rocket Community Portal for download. -Peter

Hi, What about support of DB2 (or PDO DB2) in PHP 7 ? It’s not present in PHP 7.0.5 built b012… Thanks, Denis

I received the following abend immediately after executing bash: +CEE0374C CONDITION=CEE3204S TOKEN=00030C84 59C3C5C5 00000000 234 WHILE RUNNING PROGRAM CELHV003 AT THE TIME OF INTERRUPT PSW 078D2400 99A42246 GPR 0-3 0019EF2A 19E71C30 1969B29C 19E96678 GPR 4-7 19F28290 19E3F678 1969A2A8 99A4221A GPR 8-B 19E96678 19EA7F60 19E75838 19F28B77 GPR C-F 1969F188 19E95D20 000001E8 00000000 +CEE3798I ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A DUMP FOR ABEND U4083 TO DATA SET: etc. After a lot of searching I found out I had the following line in my /etc/profile that triggers this behaviour: LC_SYNTAX=En_Us.IBM-1047 Just decided to open this topic in case somebody else runs into the same situation.

Status: DeliveredDeliveredWhen the notification file is updated, the user will get a message 'NOTIFICATION UPDATED' on CMN@PRIM. We have changed the panel so that when the message appears, a .RESP=ENTER is forced to make sure people read the notification file. It would be nice to have this as a buildin admin option that when the file is updated and people enter into ZMF the file is displayed.When the notification file is updated, the user will get a message 'NOTIFICATION UPDATED' on CMN@PRIM.

Hi, I’m trying to implement PHP 7. I have managed to make it work in “CGI” mode, but I have an error that I can not analyze when I try to make it run in “FastCGI” mode: [error] [client 126.32.101.80] FastCGI: incomplete headers (115 bytes) received from server “/local/basepro/m4stats/php/php.fcgi”, referer: http://tmvs:8080/ In the previous version PHP 5, the two modes “CGI” and “FastCGI” were working. Both modes are very similar: PHP is executed through a shell script that declares the necessary environment variables and calls the PHP interpreter. In httpd.conf I said (excerpt): <Location /> CharsetSourceEnc IBM-1047 CharsetDefault ISO8859-1 </Location> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCgiIpcDir /local/basepro/httpserv/fastcgi FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -singleThreshold 100 -killInterval 3

Status: DeliveredDeliveredMake Vxx process variables standard available on panelsThe Vxx process variables should be made available on all entry points where they can be used via panels They should then also be made vailable in the client pack. Today we are still confronted with panel updates to allow us to use the Vxx process variables, as it is Serena's desire to prevent us from modifying the panels, the process variables should as such also be made available via standard panel processing.

Status: DeliveredDelivered in ZMF 8.2 Patch 2.Provide line commands in the QC component listDevelopers are nagging quit a while now that the navigation at the component level is not extensive enough. I have people writing ATTACHMATE macro's to navigate from QC to the package in which it resides so that they can edit/browse/view listing, stage, ... the component So why not add line commands in the component list panel CMNCMPH1, so that the same commands as on panel CMNSTG01 are available.

Status: DeliveredDeliveredDo not store user entered password if invalid password status is returned from ZMFIn Client Pack (RDz/IDZ) if you perform a "Check In to ZMF..." action in the Remote Systems Explorer view prior to logging into ZMF via the Serena view, you are prompted for a password.  This password is stored internally and used for all following ZMF requests.  If the password provided is invalid it can lead to userid being revoked by host security system due to too many invalid pasword attempts.  The only way (?) to get the correct password in the Serena process is to switch to the Serena view, request Connect to the ZMF server, erase the password stored in the ZMF Logon dialog box, and enter the correct password. If an invlid password is provided it should not be stored for other current session use and the user should be prompted for another password. A similar action happens on the Serena view logon panel, the invalid password is stored in the Password field of th

Status: DeliveredDeliveredWe would like to use 'associated install approvers' in combination with 'scratch records'.A information is sent after blocking a release to the associated install approvers when particular lib types are involved. This works fine for normal Components but NOT FOR SCRATCH RECORDS. It is important for us to inform particular systemadministrators (e.g. DB2, IMS TKS ...) when components will be scratched but only if these administrators are involved in that lib types (just the associated install approvers).

Status: DeliveredDeliveredRight now, it appears that when CMNHUTIL runs and tries to access a directory (such as root "/") that it does not have access to, it results in a S0C1 abend within CMNHUTIL with OFFSET=000010E6 within ChangeMan ZMF 7.1.1.02. This particular error, in reality, does not tell a customer much about what the problem is. I ended-up inferring that this is a problem because I happened to see that the FILEOUT= was trying to write a shell script to the root (/) directory: //WRJ2TMP EXEC PGM=CMNHUTIL, create shell command ... //SYSIN DD DATA,DLM='++' ... FILEOUT=/D67hg9r0ua6.sh ... ++It would be helpful if certain common errors that could happen within CMNHUTIL be given in the job output to aid with better and quicker troubleshooting. The above situation would be some kind of security violation message. I'm sure that there are other situations, which currently result in an abend, that that could be coded into CMNHUTIL to give a readable error messag

trying to get perl ready to access DB2 for z/OS. z/OS has no internet connection. What do I need to do to enable perl to access DB2 for z/OS? My apologies for asking such a “starting from scratch” question. I simply could not find anything that worked for me so far.

Before installing your distribution you need to unpack it. All z/OpenSource languages and tools are delivered as gzip tar files (e.g. automake-1.10_b0001.160204.tar.gz) with the exception of gzip which is delivered as a simple tar file (e.g. gzip-1.6-edc_b0002.160204.tar). If you do not already have gzip on your system you will need to start by downloading and installing gzip and to unpack the gzip distribution you need only issue a standard tar extraction command. To unpack all other z/OpenSource languages and tools from Rocket enter the following commands using your own destination directory in place of /rsusr/rocket: gunzip tool.tar.gz tar -C /rsusr/rocket -xoUXf tool.tar For example, if unpacking automake-1.10_b0001.160204.tar.gz, issue the commands: gunzip automake-1.10_b0001.160204.tar.gz tar -C /rsusr/rocket -xoUXf automake-1.10_b0001.160204.tar Each Rocket open source distribution comes with tool-specific installation instructions (README.ZOS) and a version information file

Hi, When executing a shell script in the bash shell on USS, we found that the input from a read statement in the script returns nothing, even if the user has input some text. Script excerpt #!/bin/env bash … echo -n "Please provide the application mnemonic and press [ENTER]: " read appMnemonic appMnemonic=$(echo “$appMnemonic” | tr ‘[:upper:]’ ‘[:lower:]’) echo “$appMnemonic” The appMnemonic variable in this script is just empty when the echo prints even if the user has typed in an alphanumeric value. We noticed that this was happening when the script is executed from the bash shell, works fine in standard shell. Because of this on of our directories was entirely clobbered. bash-4.3$ bash -version GNU bash, version 4.3.46(51)-release (i370-ibm-openedition) Copyright © 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hi, does somebody know if the LBO option can be used to handle two "P" Changeman instances on two different Lpar, using the same Subsystem Id ? We call this kind of z/OS architecture "active/active", were at least one of the two Lpar is always running, in case of disaster/recovery. In normal condition the two Lpar work togheter and share all the resources but I can't figure out how ChangeMan support this kind of architecture... Thanks a lot, Bruno#ChangeManZMF

I’d like to run git in code page IBM-1047 or let it default. It looks like git is configured to use ISO8859-1. How can I change it so that I don’t have to use tagging, auto convert, etc.?

Hi all, I started out with a very small script: 1. Test in a shell #!/ROCKET/php/bin/php-cgi <?php // show all information phpinfo(); ?> in an untagged file with IBM-1047 encoding.

I would really like to use Python to build some services on z/OS. In order to do that, I need a listener…and Flask appears to be the standard way to do this with Python. Any chance y’all are looking at porting that framework?

Hi, On www.w3schools.com I read: As of PHP 5, the SimpleXML functions are part of the PHP core. No installation is required to use these functions. However when I try to use function simplexml_load_file() I get error response: Fatal error: HPH01209 Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in /u/U13178/test.php on line 2 Anyone knows if SimpleXML is part of base php which comes with ported tools?
