RSE FEKATTR module incorrectly parses the century of a dataset member modification date information obtained from the z/OS system. 2. The renaming of a member under an alias leaves an exclusive lock on the old member resource (under the alias) and the new member resource (under the reference). That causes a locked state of the member preventing users from editing it unexpectedly. During the rename, a lock on the resource <alias(old_member_name)> and <reference(new_member_name)> are created. When the rename is done, the two locks are supposed to be released, but wrong pds name is used in the resources construction to unlock. 3. For the JCL validate purpose, host needs to provide a new command to discover the device type of a datataset. In addition to that, also detect if the dataset is archived or not. Only dataset that is active (not archived) and residing on DASD device is to be returned as valid type.. 4. Server startup for the application should validate on the minimum Java 11 version at patch level to avoid starting up at non-supported Java 11 version level to avoid spending extra effort in trouble shooting issues that is related to the mentioned JDK issues 5. Startup script errors when using non-English shell environment e.g. @=/usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin/envvars.sh: /tmp/rsed.sh.50331783 1: . : _Init 76: /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin/rsed.sh 549: FSUM7351 not found -- ERROR -- version_track not defined in /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin/plugin.conf 6. Enhancement to allow plugins to specify severity for directories mounted with NOSETUID. When the NOSETUID flag is set, APF and program control flags of files in that file system are not honored. 7. In previous releases, the current working directory (".") was automatically added to the PATH for convenience, when running UNIX shell commands but that was removed.
Problem conclusion
1. Have FEKATTR correct the parsing for the modification date's century of dataset members. 2. Now for lock and lock member command, it will use the reference name (as other supported operations) for the resource preparation, correcting the resource mismatch from lock and unlock. 3. Host now offers a new command C_QUERY_DATASET_DEVTYPE to query dataset device type and archived status from catalog to determine if the dataset is on tape and archived or not. Note: The support is only for cataloged dataset and archived volser with common name tag MIGRAT and ARCIVE. 4. Validation for Java 11 minimum version is added during server startup. 5. Do not allow customers to change LANG or LC_ALL environment variables 6. Enhancement provided 7. The inclusion of "." in the PATH will be added back.
