newbie COZBATCH install question

Post by p.bishop »

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I've done all the install steps, e.g. have the PDSE allocated and populated, along with the sample JCL, the USS filesystem has its symlinks etc.

However, when I try the sample "fromdsn" against SYS1.MACLIB(ACB) I get:

CoZBatchÝN¨: Copyright (C) 2005-2009 Dovetailed Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.
CoZBatchÝN¨: version 2.1.1 2012-03-16
CoZBatchÝI¨: executing progname=login-shell="-/bin/sh"
fromdsn: FSUM7351 not found
todsn: FSUM7351 not found
CoZBatchÝI¨: returning rc=exitcode=127

I'm guessing somehow the path is wrong in the JCL as when I run it in OMVS it works OK:

$ fromdsn //'SYS1.MACLIB(ACB)' | grep BLKSIZE | todsn //'SM0504.TEST.OUTLIST'
fromdsn(SYS1.MACLIB(ACB))ÝN¨: 78 records/6240 bytes read; 6318 bytes written in 0.009 seconds (685.547 KBytes/sec).
todsn(SM0504.TEST.OUTLIST)ÝN¨: 243 bytes read; 3 records/240 bytes written in 0 milliseconds.

The failing JCL:

//xxxxxR1 JOB OHOT,XXXX,MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,CLASS=X
//PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER='xxxxx.PDS.COZJCL'
//JOBLIB DD DSN=xxxxxx.PDSE.ISPLLIB.LTR,DISP=SHR
//*
//*
//REGEX EXEC PGM=COZBATCH
//IN DD DSN=SYS1.MACLIB(ACB),DISP=SHR
//OUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(NEW,PASS),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),
// DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB)
//STDIN DD *
# Copy lines matching a regular expression to DD:OUT
fromdsn //DD:IN | grep BLKSIZE | todsn //DD:OUT
//


Any assistance most gratefully accepted.

thx

Hi Peter,

When you installed, did you choose to install symlinks (say, in /bin) ?

- If so, then you should have a link from /bin/fromdsn -> <cozinst>/bin/fromdsn etc
- If you didn't install symblinks (you answered "none"), then you will have to put <cozinst>/bin in your PATH

You say that under OMVS that it works. Could the batch job be running on a different LPAR?
If not, there is probably a reason why the PATH is not set up.

Try adding and "env" command to the beginning of the batch job script, so that you can see your PATH

Thx Admin...

Yes, I installed the symlinks, so I followed your lead and put in an "env" as the first command, which showed my $PATH, and then in the next job I simply appended the installation path to that, and Voila! All good. Still too much hacking, I'll speak to the sysprogs as I don't think I should have had to hack the $PATH like that.

Now I'm getting weird initiator S922 abends after the successful COZBATCH execution, again, something to talk to the sysprogs about...unless anyone has a hint?

CoZBatch: returning rc=exitcode=0

Here's the weird abend after the above runs (seemingly successsfully). The abend has resulted in a mixture of JESMSGLG and JESYSMSG output (this is JES3).

Small correction (bad form to reply to my own post, I know)...

this abend was S0C4, others have been S922 even after what looks like a 0 return code from COZBATCH, still weird though...

cheers

Solved it...

For some reason (I forget why!!) I had forced STEPLIB to include the LE runtime stuff, i.e. pointed the STEPLIB ddname directly at them:

When I took that out and used the default, it's WAD. Below shows the correct STEPLIB:

*TEPLIB DD DSN=SYS1.CEE.SCEERUN,DISP=SHR
* DD DSN=SYS1.CEE.SCEERUN2,DISP=SHR
* DD DSN=SYS1.LPALIB,DISP=SHR
* DD DSN=SYS1.LINKLIB,DISP=SHR
STEPLIB DD DSN=SM0504.PDSE.ISPLLIB.LTR,DISP=SHR
* DD PATH='/u/sm0504/bin',PATHOPTS=ORDONLY,
* PATHMODE=(SIRWXU,SIRWXG,SIRWXO)


thanks for the help...off to try the Co:Z Launcher now!

cheers
Peter

By default, COZBATCH runs your default login shell (normally /bin/sh).

With a login shell, /etc/profile and ~/.profile are run, which you can use to configure your $PATH

I can't say why the symlinks don't work...

- are the symlinks in a directory that is in your PATH?
- does that directory )and its parent directories) have the searchable permission bit on?
- are the symlink files marked executable?
- do they point to the right place?

Hi Dovetail,

it's OK, I wasn't clear enough...the symlinks are fine when I get my path going as required...

All WAD.
