![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description When using the Systems Management Scripting API (SM API) to define a new system, the following messages are observed: BBON3199E Method createsystem failed. BBON3113E Attribute systemname = X starts with non OS/390 letter where X is a system name that begins with a numeric (i.e. 0-9). This same system name, one that starts with a numeric, can be successfully defined using the Administration Tool (SM EUI). The SM API validity check of the system name is too restrictive. It should allow a system name beginning with a number. Alphabetic, numeric, #, $, or @ as first character are allowable for a system name on 390.Local fix If possible, use the SM EUI to define the system.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: System Management API (SMAPI) does not * * allow the specification of a system * * name beginning with a numeric * * character. This is not consistent * * with the SMEUI and is too limiting. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The SMAPI scripting interface requires that system names appearing on various commands begin with an alphabetic character. This is inconsistent with the SMEUI interface, which places no restriction on the first character of system names, besides the general requirement that names be composed of alphabetic and numeric characters, #, @, and $. This SMAPI restriction is too limiting and should be made consistent with the SMEUI.Problem conclusion This fix changes the validation checking done for system names in the SMAPI, making the SMAPI and SMEUI consistent. APAR PQ81868 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401607 of WebSphere Application Server version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
