Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: 1. z/OS Explorers users who want to know the *
    *                   actual version of the server they are      *
    *                   connected to                               *
    *                 2. All zOS Explorer and IDz users            *
    *                 3. system programmers                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. z/OS Explorers users don't see a     *
    *                          correct version of the server when  *
    *                          viewing MVS Files in the property   *
    *                          sheet.                              *
    *                      2. In z/OS Explorer, RSE does not       *
    *                          properly recognize and handle the   *
    *                          colon ":" in passwords, including   *
    *                          when specified as an MFA separator  *
    *                          character, which leads to MFA       *
    *                          error message AZFRADP1              *
    *                      3. server and user logs not collected   *
    *                          by FEKLOGS                          *
    ****************************************************************
    1. z/OS Explorers users don't see a correct version of the
        server when viewing MVS Files in the property sheet.
    2. In z/OS Explorer, RSE does not properly recognize and handle
        the colon ":" in passwords, including when specified as an
        MFA separator character, which leads to MFA error message
        AZFRADP1
    3. When RDz/IDz is installed on top of z/OS Explorer, then there
         is a chance that the server and user logs are not collected
         by FEKLOGS
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. The problem is fixed by storing the actual server version in
        a node the client can read and display.
    2. The zOS Explorer server modules are updated
    3. corrected variable reuse
    

Temporary fix
