/u/cics/cicts42/lib/wsdl/DFHWS2LS FSUM7351 not found when running DFHWS2LS

The problem is a result of where Java is installed. The default supplied DFHWS2LS script expects Java to be at location /usr/lpp/$JAVADIR. The script then adds /usr/lpp/$JAVADIR/bin to the PATH and this allows Java to run.

In this case, Java is installed at /u/cics/java_directory which is being passed as the value for JAVADIR. This causes the script to try to run Java from /usr/lpp/u/cics/java_dir/bin which does not exist.

There are 3 different things that can be done to resolve;

• Install Java in /usr/lpp/java_dir. Then run the DFHWS2LS script using a JAVADIR value of java_dir/J6.0

• Keep Java where it is but create a symlink in /usr/lpp called java_dir pointing at /u/cics/java_dir. Then run DFHWS2LS using a JAVADIR value of java_dir/J6.0

• Update the system PATH to include a version of Java. Then it does not matter what is done within DFHWS2LS as every user always has Java available to run.

The second option is possibly the easiest way to go but any of these solutions should work.

NOTE: It is possible to run into the same problem with USSDIR. The script expects the CICS installation to be at /usr/lpp/cicsts/$USSDIR. The script then adds /usr/lpp/cicsts/$USSDIR/lib/wsdl/ to the PATH. If the CICS installation resides at /u/cics/cicsts42 (no /usr/lpp/cicsts in front) then it is likely a symbolic link for USSDIR would be needed as well. You would set up a symlink in /usr/lpp/cicsts called cicsts42 pointing at /u/cics/cicsts42.
