Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of z/OS Connect EE V3.0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: z/OS Connect EE does not start when * * TCP/IP resolver trace is enabled. * **************************************************************** When starting the z/OS Connect EE server, a check is made to confirm that the Liberty server does not return any error messages. If a message is returned, the following message is written to the job log: Error: zosconnect can not be executed due to: followed by the returned data. The server does not start. This procedure does not allow the server to be started if any data is returned. The problem was originally reported when TCP/IP resolver trace was turned on, which caused some TCP/IP resolver trace output to be returned to the check for errors prior to starting the server. It is possible that this situation could occur with other data returned with the "Error: zosconnect can not be executed due to:" message.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
z/OS Connect EE has been changed to provide environment variable ZCON_ENV_ALLOW_TR_RESPONSE. Setting this environment variable to any value will allow the server to continue the attempt to start after a message is returned. The fix for this APAR is expected to be delivered by the PTF for z/OS Connect EE V3.0.44.0 (PH35528).
