    1. A directory, private_common_properties, is created under
    the z/OS Explorer user's OMVS home directory, even if the
    feature is not enabled.
    2. There is an issue in the host component that chokes on ";"
    separator used in MFA
    compound login credential.
    3. In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz)
    version 17.0.4, when a user logging
    off the MVSLockOwnershipTracker
    reports a ZFile delete operation
    failure.
    in the rseserver log with the
    following exception:
    ERROR: MVSLockOwnershipTracker :
    ZFile delete operation failed
    for 'MY.JCL(TEST)' lock record (1 of
    5 times) in
    '//'MY.IDZ170.LOCK.VSAM'':
    'com.ibm.jzos.ZFileException:
    //'MY.IDZ170.LOCK.VSAM': fread()

    error has marked the stream invalid
    for further I/O processing.;

    errorCode=0x80010:EDC5028I A previous
    I/O error has marked the
    stream invalid for further I/O
    processing.'
    4. In IDz 17, when collecting
    feklogs, users noticed the error
    message in their feklogs stating
    both attls_policy & enble_ssl can
    not be enabled at the same time
    when only enble_ssl is enabled.
    ERROR enable_attls_policy has an
    invalid value
    ERROR enable_attls_policy and
    enable_ssl cannot both be TRUE
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. Add a check for the RSE_COMMON_PROPERTIES environment
    variable to verify whether the service is enabled. If the
    service is not enabled, do not create the private common
    properties.
    2. Parsing issue was fix. MFA user now could login using their
    credential with ";" MFA separator
    3. RSE lock information tracker cache needs to be updated
    properly when locks are released so that they are not .
    4. A typo in checking condition causing the error in the
    second error message; it does not affect the encryption
    functionality of the product. A fix is delivered. Note: the
    first error message is expected for a property, here
    enable_attls_policy, when it is not set
