Hello list, Just IPLed z/OS 3.1 on our sandbox and tried to start zOSMF. The angel process started but the server process fails. I compared file permissions in the /global/zosmf directories between my 2.4 system and 3.1 system and they're the same. The server is failing in the IZUSVR1 step with a cond code 2048.
STDOUT output: Launching zosmfServer (z/OSMF 3.1.0/wlp-1.0.75.cl230320230319-1900) on IBM J9 VM, version 8.0.8.20 - pmz6480sr8fp20-20240112_01(SR8 FP20) (en_US) ÝAUDIT ¨ CWWKE0001I: The server zosmfServer has been launched. CWWKE0005E: The runtime environment could not be launched.
