Bridge for Git 2.15.2

Cause

B4G is using IBM Semeru Runtimes 17.0.10:

JVMJZBL1012I Java Virtual Machine created. Version information follows:
 java version "17.0.10"
 IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS (build 17.0.10+7)
 IBM J9 VM (build z/OS-Release-17.0.10.0-b01, JRE 17 z/OS s390x-64-Bit Compressed References 20240223_58 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
 OpenJ9   - c01a096209b
 OMR      - 33cf48f8d6f
 IBM      - 7394519
 JCL      - 69658227a1a based on jdk-17.0.10+7)

 

Customers using JZOS on Semeru 11 and 17 may encounter an error whereby the JZOS load module is accessed both as a dataset and as a USS file can cause RACF access issue,  JZOS load module should only exist in the mvstools directory. 

 

Resolution

Check out IBM APAR PH61320

Apply APAR PH61320 to upgrade IBM Semeru Runtimes to 17.0.12.0, which will change Semeru builds on z/OS to create only one copy of the JZOS load module in the mvstools directory, and not the additional copy in lib.

or 

Delete $JAVA_HOME/lib/JVMLDM17  << manually remove the additional copy of JVMLDM17 in the lib folder. 

Restart Bridge for Git.
