Rocket Software Open-Source Languages and Tools for z/OS®

Hello,We're having an issue trying to read a z/OS dataset. It works for a USS file. Running Python 3.95 in the base environment.What are we missing?thanks# FileNotFoundError: [Errno 129] EDC5129I No such file or directory.with open("//'xxxxxx.x.xxxxx'", 'r') as f:     print(f.read()) # this workswith open('/u/xxxxxx/python/aws.py', 'r') as f:    print(f.read())

Hi.OpenSSL recently reported critical/high vulnerability CVE-2022-3602 which is a buffer overrun in v3.x that is fixed in v3.0.7.Can you confirm that this vulnerability is not present in the OpenSSL supplied with Rocket z/OS Open-Source tools or any other z/OS tool supplied by Rocket?The "openssl version" command shows OpenSSL at v1.0.2 in Rocket Open-Source tools for z/OS so it would appear that this version is not affected.Thanks.

After updating Miniconda  with miniconda-zos-2.0-2022-01-17.run and appdev_manifest_1.2.1.txt,  Python 3.9.5 was installed in the base environment.A few questions:1)  All of the packages I installed in the "base" environment prior to the update had to be re-installed. Is this to be expected?2)  I created a new environment and installed several packages from my file channel. How do I install Python 3.9.5 into this environment?3)  Using Python 3.9.5, how do I install the boto3 python package? Can I run pip3 install boto3? I saw this message after cancelling the download.WARNING: You are using pip version 21.3.1; however, version 22.3 is available.You should consider upgrading via the '/hewitt/rocket/miniconda/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.Thanks,Gary

The scenario is this. Multiple users working on a repo user a has branch A and user b has branch B user a needs to merge branch B into branch A merge fails as branch B is only on the server (remote) rather than local Using Git version 2.26.2-82 The workaround is to : user a does a checkout branch B - this gets it local user a does a checkout branch A - return to the users branch user a can successfully do a git merge I've tried git fetch --all and it does not fetch branch B to the local repo.Thoughts?  Is this a bug in the git version I'm using? Known bug? Other thoughts/suggestions.------------------------------LionelDyck

Hi,We use in our Jenkins pipelines Git commands triggered by a Groovy script of the form:echo sh(script:'git status', returnStdout: true)When this command is triggered directly from the JenkinsFile file, the response is indeed retrieved in clear plain text:On the other hand, when this command is triggered from a Jenkins SharedLib, then the response is unintelligible, probably because of an EBCDIC / ASCCI-UTF-8 conversion problem:We do not understand where the problem comes from and therefore how to solve it...The issue is specific to Git for z/OS, as the other commands (vim in the example) show correct responses.We also tested saving the git response to a file on the Jenkins workspace:git status >output.txtThe output.txt file is correctly readable, and created on z/OS-USS with an ISO8859-1 ccsid.User profile environment variables:export _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON export _CEE_RUNOPTS="FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON)" export _TAG_REDIR_ERR=txt export _TAG_REDIR_IN=txt export _TAG_REDIR_OUT=t

I’ve been around the barn several times. Searching takes me to a download page with “featured downloads”, but no Gunzip.

git version 2.26.2-84 Hi, We issue Git commands from a Jenkins pipeline.These commands are executed on a slave node on z/OS-USS through the Jenkins agent which is a Java component.Git commands are correctly executed by Git for z/OS.On the other hand, Git commands that produce a response trigger a problem: the response provided by the Git command is unusable if it is not preceded by a non-Git command that also produces a response.echo sh(script: 'git status', returnStdout: true)+ git status [Pipeline] echo çá à€ÀÁÈ/ÄÇÁÀ€/È€'ÃÃÄŽäÇ/>ÅÁË€>?È€ËÈ/ÅÁÀ€Ã?Ê€Ä?__ÑÈšŽ€€ˆÍËÁ€‚ÅÑÈ€/ÀÀ€ÃÑ%Áž‚€È?€ÍøÀ/ÈÁ€ÏÇ/È€ÏÑ%%€ÂÁ€Ä?__ÑÈÈÁÀ‰Ž€€ˆÍËÁ€‚ÅÑÈ€ÊÁËÈ?ÊÁ€ÃÑ%Áž‚€È?€ÀÑËÄ/ÊÀ€ÄÇ/>ÅÁË€Ñ>€Ï?Ê,Ñ>Å€ÀÑÊÁÄÈ?Ê`‰Ž_?ÀÑÃÑÁÀš€€€ÊÁ/À_Á_ÀŽŽí>ÈÊ/Ä,ÁÀ€ÃÑ%ÁËšŽ€€ˆÍËÁ€‚ÅÑÈ€/ÀÀ€ÃÑ%Áž‚€È?€Ñ>Ä%ÍÀÁ€Ñ>€ÏÇ/È€ÏÑ%%€ÂÁ€Ä?__ÑÈÈÁÀ‰ŽÅÑÈàáâíå%?ÅŽÈÁËÈ%?ÅŽŽ>?€ÄÇ/>ÅÁË€/ÀÀÁÀ€È?€Ä?__ÑÈ€ˆÍËÁ€‚ÅÑÈ€/ÀÀ‚€/>À?Ê€‚ÅÑÈ€Ä?__ÑÈ€/‚‰Ž echo sh(script: 'pwd; git status', returnStdout: true)+ pwd + git sta

Generating a crl works fine with openssl 1.1.0c but not with openssl 1.1.1kFollowing command gives response "Using configuration from openssl.cfg" but does not create an out file.openssl ca -gencrl -keyfile zos.ca.key -cert zos.ca.pem -out zos.ca.crl.pem -config openssl.cfgecho $? gives a code of 1.Any ideas on how to debug this?   Adding -verbose does not give anything more.openssl ca -revoke  does not work either.openssl crl -in   will correctly display a crl created by openssl 1.1.0c

Are any fixes required to run on a z16?  I cannot find any documentation on the Rocket site.

My apologies upfront as I am clueless about  the subject for which I'm about to request assistance.I want to install curl on z/OS.  I've used curl on other platforms and am interested to install on z/OS.  I downloaded the package from the Rocket download site, I went to the readme, install,  and other docs and z/OS is mentioned only in the "list of operating systems" but not as an install location.  From looking through this forum, it appears that other tools are used to install this curl version on USS..z/OS?  I need "For Dummies" version of where to even begin to install curl on z/OS.  Any help would be appreciated.

This week I started to get this error on two of my systems - different locations so non-shared dasd:fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/xxxx/test.git/1: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /u/xxxx/conda/envs/git226/bin/ca-bundle.crt CApath: noneHas something changed?  I have not updated git since 2.26 came out, nor have I updated any of the miniconda managed components.Thanks

Hi all, We have a version of vim from several years ago, which was obtained from the download site as a .tgz and installed in the pre-conda days. We've been happily using this on a daily basis for some time, but recently there has been some more interest in some of the other tools such as Python. I've now installed all the free packages from the anaconda site via conda, which obviously includes the latest vim. I've noticed a difference in behaviour of vim between the two packages. The original vim was compiled in 2017: VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Jun 7 2017 07:22:47)Included patches: 1-22Compiled by PDKUZM@RS12.rocketsoftware.comBig version without GUI.

HiOur build automation is using git within a shell script.We are on git version 2.26.2-78 (zOS 2.4)Within the script we run the following steps to reset our local repository:git reset --hardgit statusand sporadically the git status shows some modified files even if there is nothing modified.If I repeat the sequence (reset and status) multiple times the modified status vanishes.Sometimes I can even see that the number of modified files decreases between two iterations ofthe sequence.If I have a look into one particular file while it is still seen as modified:git diff sdk/src/rpcserver/server/xserver.vcxproj @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> If I have a look into the hexadecimal values before and after the modified status vanishesthe file has exactly the same content.------------------------------Klaus SponagelSoftware AGDarmstadt DE------------------------------

I have a requirement to Git manage ISPF tables.  The members have been transferred from a z/OS PDS in binary format and have a CCSID of binary and a USS file format of binary. I am using both the .git/info/attributes and .gitattributes files, with the .git/info/attributes file looking like this:# # Default zGit .gitattributes file specifying that all files are in EBCDIC # # This file is copied to .git/info/attributes during ZINIT # # * zos-working-tree-encoding=ibm-1047 .gitattributes zos-working-tree-encoding=iso8859-1 .gitignore zos-working-tree-encoding=iso8859-1 and the .gitattributes file that looks like this: # # This file is effectively concatenated after .git/info/attributes # # For this repo the TABLES directory should be processed as Binary, and the # $ACBVERS.TABLES directory should be processed as Binary # TABLES/** binary $ACBVERS.TABLES/** binaryFrom by understanding of git attributes this should tell Git that all files in the TABLES and $ACBVARS.TABLES directory are in b

Hello, I'd like to ask some questions about using curl in zos, to be more specific I'm exploring how to upload/download things from zos to Nexus. The command like this :curl -v -u id:pw -X "POST" "nexusurl" .......skipped the remaining input for nexus My questions are :1. With above command, it would be showed with SSL error as the Nexus server is SSL only.If I insert this --cacert into the command, the connection would be good :--cacert /path/cert.pem  where the cert.pem is having the required SSL cert Is there anyway to setup the curl with default cert path so that we don't need to specify the --cacert location in the command?2. Alternatively, Is there any way to refer a RACF keyring to access the SSL cert when we use curl ?3. The file to be uploaded to Nexus would be also specified in the curl command, which seems to be supporting USS file path only, is curl command able to support a zos dataset instead of a USS file ? 

A command like this "git show a325acf:TEXT/TEST.txt  >/tmp/test.txt"  should extract from commit a325acf the file TEXT/TEST.txt and save it to /tmp/test.txt. My TEXT/TEST.txt file happens to contain all hex characters from X'00' to X'FF'  (excluding X'15') .  If I perform a SuperC comparison between my file and the file extracted file (/tmp/test.txt)  from the git show command I'd expect the files to be the same.  But that is not what I am getting (see extract below)Some of the the characters, on the white lines, are now two bytes and not one. Now I understand that converting IBM-1047 to UTF-8 will translate some characters from a single byte to a two byte representation,  but I would expect that when translating from UTF-8 encoding to IBM-1047 the two bytes would be translated back to one. This is certainly what is happening when to perform a "git checkout" or "git restore"  but not with the "git show".   ------------------------------Gary FreestoneSystems ProgrammerKyndryl IncMt H

Hi,By cloning by Git for z/OS, in SSH protocol, a repository stored in our Bitbucket manager, and created on Windows, I notice the presence of an x0D character at the end of each line of the files encoded in EBCDIC.Files encoded in ASCII, or more precisely files that are not subject to codepage conversion, do not have this x0D character at the end of the line.I had to add an explicit "eol=lf" option in the .gitattributes file on the "*" pattern before cloning on USS to work around this problem.This is not satisfactory, because we use our Git repositories on various platforms, mainly Windows, and also z/OS-USS, and we don't want to force the handling of line endings in the .gitattributes file.We want each platform to be free to use whatever line endings it wants.All of our Git installations, Windows or USS, use the core.autocrlf=true configuration. This has the consequence of storing text files in internal format with an CRLF end-of-line sequence.When fetching to the working directory,
