APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The IBM Explorer for z/OS hangs during startup. This occurs
after some additional plug-ins have been installed.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • The IBM Explorer for z/OS (z/OS Explorer) hangs sometimes during
startup. This occurs after additional plug-ins have been
installed, for example the CICS Tools or IBM Problem
Determination Tools.
The hang does not occur on every startup, so the workbench may
start correctly if it is closed and re-launched.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The startup sequence of IBM Explorer for z/OS has been corrected
to avoid the hang.
This APAR also corrects a problem using IBM Explorer for z/OS to
open data sets using FTP on Windows 7. The connection fails with
a "ConnectionException: java.net.SocketException: Connection
reset" exception. Message "IZE0823E Error occurred getting data
sets data_sets" is also displayed. The problem is described by
this technote.
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21642923
The problem has been corrected by adding the system property
java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to the z/OS Explorer configuration
options file.
This fix will be made available in Version 2.1.0.1 of the IBM
Explorer for z/OS. It will also be included in Version 5.1.1.1
of the CICS Explorer.
