Error description

  • In IBM Explorer for z/OS Version 3.1.1.26 and IBM Developer for
    z/OS (IDz), menu "z/OS SSH Terminals" appears on Remote Systems
    explorer when DISABLE_REMOTE_INDEX_SEARCH=true is set in rse.env
    and despite option SHOW_SSH_TERMINAL=false
    
    Steps to reproduce:
    
    1- edit rse.env file on the host and add the following lines:
    _RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DSHOW_SSH_TERMINAL=false"
    _RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS
    -DDISABLE_REMOTE_INDEX_SEARCH=true"
    
    2- restart RSED started task on the host
    3- connect from IDz client and observe that menu "z/OS SSH
    Terminals" appears on Remote Systems explorer
    

Local fix

  • Do not set DISABLE_REMOTE_INDEX_SEARCH=true in rse.env if
    possible
    

Problem summary

  • The host option to disable DISABLE_REMOTE_INDEX_SEARCH=true
    caused z/OS SSH Terminals to be enabled
    

Problem conclusion

  • A collision in the constants used for disabling remote index
    search and enabling z/OS SSH Terminals incorrectly caused
    terminals to be enabled.
    

Temporary fix
