For those that have uncontrolled curiosity: RESOLVED.
RECAP. September 2023 JAVA update on our system 'broke' the submission process of software deployment. Issue was known to IBM Support and a correcting APAR for JAVA was recommended. Applying that APAR (with GROUPEXTEND) somehow hijacked the current and current_64 symbolic links from J8.0 to J11.0. This broke the ability of z/OSMF to communicate via https and the internet. We did not know first - that we had been changed to a new JAVA and second - J11 is not approved for z/OS 2.5 Manual unlink and ln commands were performed to correct the current and current_64 symbolic links now allows z/OSMF http operations AND the submission of jobs from software deployment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
