Error description
IBM z/OS Explorer - v3.0.1.2 The JCL notification is not working in a Sysplex environment when the LPAR which triggers the job is not the same LPAR which executes the JOB. The process "JES Job Notify XXXXXX" is not displayed in the workbench even if the job is already completed on host. You can see the following messages: In the zOS SYSLOG: FEJE004I JOB27705 No notify request search due to wrong queue In the .log: !ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core 4 0 2017-02-23 10:11:49.701 !MESSAGE Exception during event notification !STACK 0 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Location must be absolute: %25Update-Site-URL
Local fix
To have the job running on the local system use the SYSAFF=* parameter on the JOB card

RSE server does not check the result of close() when it closes a socket connected from a client. As a result, even if tcp connection are correctly moved to the closed state, socket descriptors for unsuccessful close() remain in zos. 2. When a user deletes .eclipse directory with all his files in his uss home directory and connects to RSE server, the syslog message as below may be shown. 17199 17:03:17.60 S0082344 01000000 ICH408I USER(WDZT ) GROUP (STC1 ) NAME(RDZ ) 318 .. /u/user1/.eclipse/RSE_TEST/user1/ 318 .. CL(DIRSRCH ) ..... 318 .. INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO STATVFS 318 .. ACCESS INTENT(--X) ACCESS ALLOWED(OTHER ---) 318 .. EFFECTIVE UID(1000000005) EFFECTIVE GID(0000002000) 3. Enhancements and bug fixes for log gathering tool: InList avoid substr(list,0), bug show server log, skip validation if PTC or ISPF don't exist, always init UpdatedSince, verify file permits, verify HLQ 4. Users who know exact dataset names cannot access the data sets without having access to any catalog, including the one where that dataset is defined. Unlike ISPF, RDz always searches catalogs to process filters. 5. job completion Notify only works for jobs running on the local system, not jobs that run on other systems within the SYSPLEX 6. IBM z/OS Explorer RSE user logs may be written to the user's home directory rather than the location specified by the user.log server config property. Using the RSE server with some versions of Java 8 may write the logs into an incorrect location 7. In IBM zOS Explorer, a Remote Systems view MVS filter that does not contain wildcard characters may incorrectly display GDG, VSAM or ALIAS datasets as empty. A code path that deals with non-wildcard MVS filesystem queries may not handle GDG, VSAM or ALIAS types correctly. 8. In z/OS Explorer, specifying a long list of ciphers in GSK_V3_CIPHER_SPECS may prevent the RSE server from starting. Unexpectedly long option strings were truncated, leading to NullPointerExceptions in RSE server startup 9. In IBM z/OS Explorer, the TSO Logon dialog may be shown when making an RSE connection, even if the interactive CEA gateway is not enabled on the host. Client and server were not correctly identifying when the CEA gateway was enabled 10. Enhancement to simplify disabling reusable Legacy ISPF Gateway sessions. After applying this update, reusable Legacy ISPF Gateway sessions can be disabled by adding the following to rse.env _RSE_ISPF_OPTS=""
Problem conclusion
1. RSE server has been updated to retry calling close() for sockets when the previous call return errno=EAGAIN. 2. The host module is updated to make the logging thread with the correct user authority be the only one that writes to rsecomm.log file. 3. Enhancements and bug fixes for log gathering tool 4. z/OS Explorer host code is updated to process filters by LOCATE macro if there is no wild card character in a filter string. 5. JMON is updated to receive SYSPLEX signals as well. Requires matching ENF exit (v1.0.2) 6. z/OS Explorer host code has been updated 7. The zOS Explorer server modules are updated 8. The zOS Explorer server modules are updated 9. z/OS Explorer host and client modules have been updated 10. Enhancement to simplify disabling reusable Legacy ISPF Gateway sessions.
