Seems to say here that you need JAVA V17 on z/OS V3.1:  
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=installation-software-requirements-running-zos-31
 If you already have that installed, just change your JAVA_HOME and give it a 
shot.

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.

CWWKE0018E: An exception occurred while launching the runtime environment: 
java.lang.NullPointerException



STDERR output:

TRAS3005E: Failed to write messages to the 
/global/zosmf/data/logs/zosmfServer/logs/messages.log file.

com.ibm.ws.kernel.boot.LaunchException: Caught unexpected exception

 "and several continuations of this error"



The first message in the STDERR says it couldn't write to the messages.log 
file.  That is incorrect.  Here's the output from that file:

I noticed it is running java 8 where I have java 11 and 17 installed.  Does 
zOSMF work on 3.1 with java 8?



Any idea what I may be missing here?



TIA
