SYSAFF looks for a match on JES2 system name only. Nothing else. If there's a match by name, a job will execute there. Otherwise the job will wait (forever) until a matching system joins the MAS. SCHENV is much more complex. If you've been in the mainframe biz a while, think of SCHENV as an off

To complement myself: IZUSVR1 is zOSMF. java.net.UnknownHostException seems to be popular error in Websphere and it most likely can occur because of TCPIP poor configuration. However this error did not occur before the PTFs were applied. I also reviewed again ACTIONs for PTFs - a lot of them, s

IZUSVR1 failed after new PTFs applied

The following scenario: z/OS 2.3 (RSU1810) installed. IZUSVR1 was starting automatically during IPL. After some PTFs applied (PUT1812) the IZUSVR1 fails during startup, probably because of JAVA problems. Unfortunately there is a lot of huge dump, jitdump, Snap, javacore files, etc. To much info

Re: NFS Mount Failure

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood something somewhere. From what I understood, the problem was that when a remote NFS server is rebooted, you have to remount the NFS file system on z/OS, and then there needs to be a file access attempt before you can actually access the files in the file system.
