IAYAA0053E Failed to create a new z/OS connection.

Explanation

When IBM AD Build Configuration is used to create a new z/OS connection and the z/OS configuration folder was initialized incorrectly or not at all, the following message is displayed:
Failed to create a new z/OS connection.

System action

When this error occurs the z/OS connection cannot be created. In an attempt to create a new z/OS connection, IBM AD Build Configuration checks to find in which folder the <zOS_name>.ini file can be saved.

User response

  1. Access Start Menu > IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence > Launch IBM Application Discovery Configuration Service Admin and go to the Dashboard > Configure tab.
  2. Access Install configurations > IBM Application Discovery Build Client install configuration.
  3. Initialize the zOS configuration folder with a valid path for which all IBM AD Build Client users have read and write access.

For more information regarding user access to z/OS connection configuration folders that is required by IBM AD Build Client users, see the User Access section.
