Advanced Function Printing facilites are disabled
Q:
I have an AFP document I want to archive so users can view it with a web browser just as if I printed it. When I bring up JRB I get the message:
JRBE455 ** Advanced Function Printing facilites are Disabled ***
I added the keyword: MPT_PRINT_TRANSFORM_ENABLED=YES;
Now when I attempt to archive the document I receive:
JRBE089 ** DELIVERY FAILED,RC=5A UNABLE TO CONNECT TO MPT
A:
This function requires our MPT product (MacKinney Print Transform). It transforms AFP into multiple formats including PDF, PCL and POSTSCRIPT (other formats will follow). Multiple MacKinney Systems products need the ability to process AFP. Instead of duplicating functionality, we introduced the MPT product. It works 'under the covers' with JRB to perform AFP functionality.
HFS ZFS Z/OS mount DLL OMVS OE traverse stranded
Q:
Messages on console:
JRBE325 ** Scanning for stranded report groups **
JRBE238 ** UNEXPECTED TRAVERSE SEARCH ERROR **
JRBE230 ** ERROR OCCURRED WHILE CHECKING FOR STRANDED REPORT GROUPS **

JRBE037 ** TCP/IP REQUEST=DIR_NOD_TRVRSE RC=FF
A:
The HFS mount point specified in the $INIT keyword LOCAL_HFS_ROOT was not mounted. Refer to the JRB manual for mounting instructions. Either the HFS has not have ever been mounted or was mounted temporarily and Z/OS was IPL'd.
JRBE274 ** REPORT BACKED UP (KEPT)
Q:
How do you decipher the date/time?
A:
Subtract each portion from 9. ie 9999 - 7983 = 2015
Unable to set root directory
Q:
At startup we are receiving:
JRBE181 ** UNABLE TO SET ROOT DIRECTORY **
A:
Verify the following:
LOCAL_HFS_ROOT
- the mount point specified in LOCAL_HFS_ROOT is mounted
- JRB has an OMVS segment with UID(0)
- what racf userid JRB is receiving at startup on message IEF695I
ZFS HFS Z/os migrate
Q:
Why does JRB use an HFS not a ZFS? Can I migrate my HFS to a ZFS?
A:
ZFS is not a functional replacement for HFS. ZFS cannot be substituted for HFS for JRB. A directory traverse does NOT yield equivalent results on a ZFS. IBM is aware of this problem via requirement MR0608065439.
On June 2006 we submitted requirement MR0608065439 to IBM: MR0608065439 (zFS should return a sorted list of filenames via the BPX1RDD syscall) IBM has yet to resolve this issue so for the time being JRB will remain on HFS.
