CWWKF0001E Unable to enable ZosConnect2.0 feature in CICS TS 5.2 Liberty Server

Question & Answer

Question

Why would message CWWKF0001E be returned when I start the liberty JVM server in CICS with cicsts: zosConnect-2.0? Do I have to do any additional setup to enable the ZosConnect 2 feature in the CICS Transaction Sever for z/OS (CICS TS) Liberty Server?

I recently installed the Beta version of z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition in the UNIX path /usr/lpp/IBM/zosconnect/v2r0/ and have also applied the PTFs for APAR PI59303 that provide "CICS SUPPORT FOR ZOS CONNECT ENTERPRISE EDITION 2.0".

These are the messages I see while starting the liberty JVM server in CICS with <feature>cicsts:zosConnect-2.0</feature>:

product = CICS Transaction Server for z/OS 5.2.0, WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.8, CICS LIBERTY NOTUSAGE, WAS FOR Z/OS 8.5.5.8

Answer

First confirm the properties for zCEE V2 were configured correctly:

Create a configuration file on zFS. This file must be called /var/cicsts/dfhconfig/wlp/etc/extensions/zosconnect.properties.

Add two properties to this file:

    com.ibm.websphere.productId=com.ibm.zosconnect  
    com.ibm.websphere.productInstall=/usr/lpp/IBM/zosconnect/v2r0/runtime

...where the path is the location of zFS in the runtime directory in the place where you installed z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition. This is described in the CICS TS V5.2 documentation topic Configuring z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition.

The CWWKE0702E message can be issued in the following situations:

The ./zconsetup install did not run successfully when you installed the z/OS Connect V2 Enterprise Edition Open Beta.
A zosconnect.properties file is not at the required location
A com.ibm.websphere.productInstall value is specified in the zosconnect.properties file that does not point to the path where z/OS Connect EE is installed.
The zosconnect.properties permissions are set such that the CICS region is unable to read the file.
