Resolution

The problem can be caused by the DSNAME specified in the 'Workflow Step 2. Generate and submit the JCL to update the SMP/E DSNAMEs', 'Input Variables - Target zone path names' does not match the zFS created by the z/OSMF deployment jobs along with the other SMP/E product datasets.

Example: The following zFS is created for the ESP product:       

hlq.ESP.D7Y120.CD7YUSS     
hlq.ESP.D7Y120.CD7YUSS.DATA  

To address the error, do the following in the 'Properties for Workflow Step 2. Generate and submit the JCL to update the SMP/E DSNAMEs' dialog box:

1. Specify the correct data set name in the yellow highlighted box shown below.  (In this example, the correct data set name is hlq.ESP.D7Y120.CD7YUSS.)   

2. Generate and submit the JCL to update the SMP/E DSNAME's.
