PI54927: z/OS Explorer: Error when browsing directories with the z/OSMF and FTP connection types.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are trying to use the z/OS Explorer to view your HFS
  directories. The host system's TCPIP STACk that you are
  connecting to has JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 specified in the
  configuration. When you try to browse the HFS directories, the
  following error is thrown:
  !MESSAGE
  org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.ParserInitializationException:
  Unknown parser type:
  com.ibm.cics.zos.comm.ftp.HFSFTPFileEntryParser-JES1
  This happens when using both the z/OSMF and FTP connection
  types in the Explorer.

  This fix will be made available in Version 3.0.0.3 of the IBM
  Explorer for z/OS V3 Aqua.

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• Connecting to a JES interface level 1 system attempted to
  switch to an FTP parser that was capable of parsing responses
  for jobs from a system running at JES interface level 1.  The
  update for this incorrectly attempted to switch to an alternate
  parser for HFS files and datasets too, even though no such
  alternate parser existed, resulting in an inability to retrieve
  HFS files or datasets when connected to a system running at JES
  interface level 1.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic behind the mechanism to switch parsers was corrected
  to run the original parser in an alternate mode that only
  applies to jobs, leaving the HFS response parser and the
  datasets parser unaffected, restoring the ability to work with
  HFS files and datasets when connected to a JES interface level
  1 system.
