Environment

ZOWE V3

Cause

ZWEGENER is used to validate the ZOWE.yml file. 

ConfigMgr could not validate ZOWE configuration since node.home is unset (string len=0) in ZOWE.yaml. 

Despite NodeJs should not be needed when configure Zowe using JCLs, the schema validation still expects some value to present there. 

Resolution

Update ZOWE.yaml and set any string value to node.home (no need to install NodeJs)

For example:

node:
  # **COMMONLY_CUSTOMIZED**
  # Path to your node.js home directory
  home: "/usr/lpp/IBM/cnj/v18r0/IBM/node-v18.20.4-os390-s390x-202409201337"
