Issue/Introduction

During a Zowe Portable Software Instance (PSWI) installation using the z/OSMF workflow, Step 2 ("Create Configuration") fails with the following error:
ERROR: ZWEL0143E Cannot find data set member 'YOURHLQ.SZWESAMP(ZWEGENER)'. You may need to re-run zwe install command

  • Step 1 (Install) appears to complete successfully.
  • The script cannot locate the ZWEGENER member required for configuration.

Cause

  • Path Misconfiguration: The runtimeDirectory variable is incorrectly set to include the /bin subdirectory (e.g., /user/zwe/zowe/path/bin). Zowe scripts automatically append /bin, leading to an invalid path.
  • Dataset Prefix Mismatch: The zowe.setup.dataset.prefix in the YAML does not match the actual SMP/E HLQ

Resolution

  1. Correct the runtimeDirectory: Set the variable to the base root directory only (e.g., /user/zwe/zowe/path). Ensure the /bin subdirectory is removed.
  2. Verify Dataset Prefix: Confirm zowe.setup.dataset.prefix matches the HLQ where SZWESAMP was installed.
