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).
