Whenever a user suffered any problem and does 2 logon actions afterward, then the important logs are lost. - The server logs are so huge as to make the performance bad and as to make the disk full. 05.To enable TLS V1.2, RDz daemon has to issue System SSL API with a option of TLS V1.2. 06.Each log has the only name unless keep.last.log variable is not specified 07.RDz server receives abend s378-14 following start-up when DIAG tool "dirty storage" is enabled. The abend is occurring in fekfomvs following a freemain of storage in key 0, although the storage was gotten in key 8. 08.The following traces are too much in debug_level=2. findBadHex() Entered: findBadHex() Exited: 09.When an error occurred in C select API, the logger thread did not process it correctly. 10.The RDz server started the cleanup process of the remote search before all search results were sent to the client. 11.ThreadPool server will activate ZosSystemMiner but this action may break the synchronization between Open RSE client and server programs. 12.In PM80961, all of the zOS RESERVE invocations are removed. 13.RDz "RDL 1" & "RSL 1" commands result in FEK202E Invalid Command entered. 14.TCP/IP connection between RDz Daemon and IVP program is not closed. The RDz daemon just invoke C close API to close the TCP/IP session, but it's not enough to close the session. 15.When the daemon IVP is invoked, it returns the port number and token required to connect to the server that is waiting for this user. But the daemon IVP does not attempt to connect to the server port. This means that the the port will be locked until the server times out. 16.Lock remained active even if the download failed owing to the exception in getting PL/I logical NOT symbol at host. After that, the code page was changed to supported one but the dataset could not be opened in write-mode. 17.The RDz sever treated data sets which include logical Not symbols set to the property explicitly as read only files, even when the set symbol was the same as the default character of a host encoding. 18.Enhancement to allow RDz client to trigger a RTCz user build. To enable the enhancement, rsed.envvars variable BLZGTWY must be uncommented and customized. 19.Enhancement to support TSO/ISPF commands in Rational Team Concert builds run as user build (batch job outside of RTC build engine). By default, DD definitions in ISPF.conf and the rsed.envvars STEPLIB are used. But this can be customized with new rsed.envvars variables RSE_UBLD_DD and RSE_UBLD_STEPLIB. 20.A single wild card for the dataset and member name was disabled in the RDz client and server. 21.Auth failure msg not following new log format 22.RSE Client sends C_NOTIFICATION command to MVS Miner before the MVS Miner completes its initialization. 23.NPE when ISPF Gateway cannot start 24.RSE Threadppol start looping when log HFS is full. 25.Check remotely managed action status' pop-up results a few minutes after a connection and caused StackOverFlow. 26.Currently, when we notice we're running low on space using statvfs(), we delete the oldest log file. As statvfs() will not report that the space is available until HFS has completed a SYNC cycle, oldest rsecomm.logs and ffs*.logs are deleted continuously and the current log file is also deleted
Problem conclusion
01.Support cancel the search at a designated time limit with _RSE_JAVAOPTS -Dsearch.server.limit.timeout in rsed.envvars. 02.Now, padding userid with blanks works normally and the RACF API can check the userid permissions correctly. 03.Now, the SAF/LDAP permissions are not cached in the workspace. 04.Now, Each server log has unique id including time stamp and the user can set his/her own log level for the log file. 05.Now, RDz Daemon supports TLS V1.2. 06.Now, each log has a name with procname, date, and timestamp. And each log is not deleted even after the client disconnects and then connects again. 07.Now RDz gets and releases storage in the same key. 08.Now, the following traces are written in debug_level=3. findBadHex() Entered: findBadHex() Exited: 09.Now, the Daemon logger thread (writeServerStandardLog) will process an error in select API correctly. 10.The server was fixed to wait the cleanup process for sending all search results to the client. 11.Now, ZosSystemMiner will be activated not by ThreadPoolServer but by RDz client command. 12.The zOS RESERVE invocations are recovered and the RESERVE invocation have RET=USE parameter so that the thread could not wait for the control of the data set infinitely. The maximum time to retry the invocation of the RESERVE API can be defined in "ffs.retry.time" property in rsed.envvars. The "ffs.retry.time" value is defined in seconds. 13.Now,RDz "RDL 1" & "RSL 1" commands works normally 14.Now RDz daemon will invoke C shutdown API before invoking the close API. 15.Now, the daemon IVP connects to the server port and close the connection. The java.net.SocketException is logged in the rseserver.log, and this means that the daemon IVP ends successfully. 16.Now the exception in getting PL/I logical NOT symbol at host is caught and the download will not fail for this exception. 17.The RDz server was fixed not to mark data sets which contained the default not Symbol character as read-only when the set logical Not symbol was the same as the default. 18.Enhancement to allow RDz client to trigger a RTCz user build. To enable the enhancement, rsed.envvars variable BLZGTWY must be uncommented and customized. 19.Enhancement to support TSO/ISPF commands in Rational Team Concert builds run as user build (batch job outside of RTC build engine). By default, DD definitions in ISPF.conf and the rsed.envvars STEPLIB are used. But this can be customized with new rsed.envvars variables RSE_UBLD_DD and RSE_UBLD_STEPLIB. 20.The RDz client and server were fixed to enable a single wild card character '?' for the dataset and member name in a search query. 21.Some log methods are changed for following new log format 22.Now, MVS miner can handle C_NOTIFICATION command even if its initialization is not completed. 23.Show error message in TSO command server 24.Check number of free blocks for user log location/ server log location. When number of free blocks is 2, show FEK103E. When number of free blocks is 1, - show FEK107E - delete oldest log files As for audit.log, when number of free blocks is 1, FEK103E is shown. 25.StackOverFlow was caused by NullPointerExceptin and error handling. Add Null check and fix error handling in server log methods. 26.The current log files(user and server log) are not deleted: - If the oldest ffs*.log is a current log file,contents will be kept and new log text are added to the file. - If the oldest rsecomm*.log is a current log file, contents of it will be removed and new texts are added to the file.
