Issue/Introduction

When implementing WatchTower and configuring ZMSSTART, the Message Service Server, ends with an RC=1 when enabling the OPS_OI_ALARM_ADAPTER_ACTIVATION_STATUS feature..

In the output of the ZMSTART job there are the messages:

JVMJZBL1043N The Java virtual machine completed with System.exit(1)

and

Environment

z/OS

WatchTower 1.0

CCS 15.0

Cause

When enabling OPS/MVS options, it's needed to include the OPS jar modules

Resolution

The OPS jar file needs to be present at the location specified in ZMSENVT:

CCSOPJEXJAR=ccsopjex.jar

CCSOPJEXJAR_PATH=/cai/CASoftware/CCS/uss

See if the ZFS is mounted and the jar file in the specified directory is present.

Additional Information

CCS Integrate with OPS/MVS
