AAI Mainframe Data Provider installation fails with IKJ56709I INVALID DATA SET NAME during data set allocation.

Products

• Automation Analytics & Intelligence

Issue/Introduction

When performing a new installation or upgrade of the Mainframe Data Providers for Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI), the installer fails shortly after confirmation with the following errors:

AIZ.IN07E: Allocation of CAIZISPF.XMIT data set failedIKJ56709I INVALID DATA SET NAME, ''HLQ'.CAIZISPF.XMIT'IKJ56701I MISSING DATA SET NAME OR *+IKJ56701I MISSING NAME OF DATA SET TO BE ALLOCATEDAIZ.IN57E: Installation failed

Environment

• Product: Mainframe Data Providers for AAI
• Version: 24.2.x and above
• Operating System: z/OS

Cause

The error is caused by entering the Installation Library High Level Qualifier using single quotes (e.g., 'PROJECT.AAI') in the installation panel.

TSO allocation routines used by the installer automatically handle the concatenation of the HLQ. When manual quotes are included, they are treated as literal characters within the string, resulting in a data set name with nested/doubled quotes (e.g., ''PROJECT.AAI'.CAIZISPF.XMIT'), which is invalid under z/OS naming conventions.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, re-run the installer and provide the High Level Qualifier without single quotes.

1. Execute the AAI Data Provider installation REXX/CLIST.
2. On the Installation Settings panel, locate the following field:
   • Installation Library High Level Qualifier
3. Remove any single quotes and enter the HLQ as plain text:
   • Correct: OS97.AAI24
   • Incorrect: 'OS97.AAI24'
4. Press Enter and then type Y to confirm the installation.
5. Verify that the CAIZISPF.XMIT data set is now successfully allocated and the installation proceeds.
