PH21258: Z/OS PLUGIN BLD VERSION DOES NOT SHOW FIXPACK LEVEL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In plugin-cfg.xml, turn on tracing:
  <Log LogLevel="Trace">
  
  The
  plugin system information section of the trace is missing the
  Fix Pack (FP) level of the version field:
  PLUGIN:
  --------------------System
  Information-----------------------
  PLUGIN: Bld version:
  8.5.5
  PLUGIN: Bld date: Jul 25 2018, 12:28:59
  
  The version
  should be displayed as 8.5.5.xx where XX is the FixPack
  level.
  
  There is no way to determine exactly what Fix Pack the
  plugin is at because versionInfo is not available on z/OS.
  

Local fix

• You can guess at roughly what Fix Pack is being run by looking
  at the build date.
