Error description
PE Information: Users Affected: Users of z/OSMF with causing APAR PH70152 HSMA310(PTF UO0115) and HSMA320(PTF UO07154) Other releases not affected. User Impact: APAR PH70152 fixed the original problem it reported but introduced a new problem. The PTFs UO07155 / UO07154 for APAR PH70152 are missing ++HOLD for REASON(ACTION) for the dependency on IBM Semeru 25. If your IZUPRMxx member does not specify JAVA_HOME, z/OSMF will now assume the default JAVA_HOME path of /usr/lpp/java/J25.0_64. In this circumstance, if IBM Semeru 25 is not installed or /usr/lpp/java/J25.0_64 does not exist, then z/OSMF will fail to initialize and the following messages will be issued: CWWKB0234E JAVA_HOME location /usr/lpp/java/J25.0_64 does not exist CWWKB0210E Failed to resolve JAVA_HOME SEMERU25T/K FIXCAT
Local fix
APAR PH70152 changes z/OSMF default Java level to IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS Version 25. If you have not installed IBM Semeru Runtime for z/OS Version 25, you need to specify JAVA_HOME in z/OSMF Parmlib member that you use to configure z/OSMF. In IZUPRMxx you must specify JAVA_HOME and point to the directory location where supported IBM Semeru Runtime for z/OS is installed on your z/OS system. For example, JAVA_HOME(/usr/lpp/java/J21.0_64)
