First of all, I'm sorry to hear you've had troubles and frustrations. In any case here's what I think happened. It was a timing issue. Java 8 FP 35 PTF UI76675 closed on August 11 and that is what caused the z/OSMF server start up failure. Eventually that PTF went PE, but not before your ServerPac order was built on or about August 26, so it included the subject PTF. The fix, Java 8 FP 36 PTF UI77368, did not become available until September 29, so of course it was not included in your ServerPac. My personal recommendation, after you complete the ServerPac install, is to get the latest HOLDDATA and run SMP/E REPORT ERRSYSMODS to see if any PEs were identified since your order was built, and then install fixing PTFs as appropriate. Pretty sure the PTF UI76675 would have been identified as an unresolved PE in this case. Kurt Quackenbush -- IBM, z/OS SMP/E and z/OSMF Software Management Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
