You might want to try http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/. You can download a tar file from IBM with java without needing SMP/E. The last time I received FROMNTS, I had SMPJHOME in my JCL to get the java library, but I do not remember if that was required or if I just copied the JCL from something else.

Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Catch-22 question on SMP/E receive fromnts command Hi list. I have what is probably a dumb question but I've never done a receive across the internet before. I am trying to install java on z/OS 1.7. According to the documentation I need either ICSF or java already running on the box to get the hashes calculated. The doc further says that if I don't have either of these (which I currently don't, being that I'm trying to install java) that I need to transfer the CBPDO across to my PC, FTP it to the host, then run a receive fromnts command to get the CBPDO received. My problem is that when I do the RECEIVE FROMNTS, I get a RC=12 but no error message. The information messages I get as well as the documentation seems to indicate that if I have neither ICSF or the JAVA available, the RECEIVE will simply skip the hash check and continue. I've tried reading the furnished materials as well as the message descriptions and am stumped. Any help will be appreciated. Here is what I get from the RECEIVE job: //SMPER1 EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M, // PARM='PROCESS=WAIT', // DYNAMNBR=120 //SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SMPE.GLOBAL.CSI //SMPNTS DD PATHDISP=KEEP, // PATH='/smpnts/' //SMPOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SMPRPT DD SYSOUT=* //SMPLIST DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SMPCNTL DD * SET BOUNDARY (GLOBAL) . RECEIVE FROMNTS(JAVA) . /* GIM69218I PROGRAM GIMJVCLT COULD NOT BE STARTED. GIM23411I DATA INTEGRITY VERIFICATION WILL NOT BE PERFORMED ON PACKAGE JAVA BECAUSE ICSF IS NOT AVAILABLE AND AN ATTEMPT TO USE AN ALTERNATE SERVICE HAS FAILED. GIM20501I RECEIVE PROCESSING IS COMPLETE. THE HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS 12. The JAVA directory appears to be set up correctly: -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 12160 Feb 14 14:37 GIMPAF.XML -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 4800 Feb 14 14:37 GIMPAF.XSL -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 9234 Feb 14 14:37 S0001.CSP.CSP.README -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 32256 Feb 14 14:37 S0002.CSP.OSP10901.DOCLIB.pax.Z -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 32256 Feb 14 14:37 S0003.CSP.OSP10901.RIMLIB.pax.Z -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 64512 Feb 14 14:37 S0005.CSP.OSP10901.PGMDIR.pax.Z -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 2539 Feb 15 16:36 S0017.CSP.OSP10901.GIMUNZIP drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 320 Feb 14 14:37 SMPHOLD drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 640 Feb 14 14:44 SMPPTFIN drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 576 Feb 14 14:45 SMPRELF The GIM23411I message as well as what I've deciphered from the doc seems to indicate that processing will just continue without verifying the hash totals. So finally, my questions: Do I need to unzip the files within the SMP???? Directories before running the RECEIVE step or is the RECEIVE supposed to do this for me? As an example, the SMPHOLD directory shows 1 file: -rw-r----- 1 OMVSKERN OEDFLTG 225792 Feb 14 14:37 S0004.CSP.OSP10901.HOLDDATA.pax.Z If I need to manually unzip the files, can I do this from another platform that has gunzip or do I need to install gunzip on the Z? Or am I missing something completely here? What am I missing in the above RECEIVE job? Am I in a catch-22 with trying to install JAVA 1.4 on this box using internet delivery and I in fact need JAVA 1.4 before I can use internet delivery? Do I need to go back and reorder the software using tape shipment? Sorry for the length of this question/request for help.
