Allocate host data sets for the fix

A sequential data set must be allocated on the z/OS system to receive the fix that you will upload from your workstation. You can do this by submitting the job below. Add a job card and modify the parameters to meet your site's requirements before submitting.

//ALLOC    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//*

//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            DSORG=PS,
//            RECFM=FB,
//            LRECL=80,
//            UNIT=SYSALLDA,

When using the _CEE_ENVFILE keyword to define environment
variables, LE pads these variables with blanks. This padding can
cause LE to ignore the settings of the TZ variable, in which
case it uses the GMT timezone.

LE provided a fix (z/OS 1.8 and higher) in the form of the
_CEE_ENVFILE_S keyword. Here no padding takes place, and the TZ
environment variable is interpreted correctly.

If need be, the _CEE_ENVFILE_S keyword can be used (instead of
_CEE_ENVFILE) in the startup JCL, as shown in the updated sample
JCL, FEK.SFEKSAMP(FEJJJCL).

This fix updates the sample rsed.envvars by adding the
following optional directive:

#_RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -Dprocess.cleanup.interval=600"
Automatically remove RSE thread pools that are in an
unrecoverable error state. By default, erroneous RSE thread
pools are not automatically removed. Uncomment and customize
to automatically remove erroneous RSE thread pool servers at
every interval (interval unit is seconds). Specifying 0
disables the function.

Add this directive to your active rsed.envvars (by default
located in /etc/rdz) if you want to use it.).
