Re: iACS cldownload plugin

Thanks Brian

I love the "works on my system but not on yours" puzzels.

The PTF you refer to is for 1.1.8.4 and I am using 1.1.8.6 so that is one
difference to explore.

How can I get a detailed log of what is happening - there has to be an
error of some sort causing the file not to be written ?

Cheers


Don

no suggestions, but "it worked on my system"

I changed the location of the acsbundle to where the PTFs
put the file (check for superseded ptfs)
5770SS1 V7R2M0 SI73105
5770SS1 V7R3M0 SI73104
5770SS1 V7R4M0 SI73103

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/646035

I ran the following from QSH

java -Dcom.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal=true -jar
/QIBM/ProdData/Access/ACS/Base/acsbundle.jar /PLUGIN=cldownload
/system=my_system /clientfile=/tmp/PTFCurrency03202021.xlsx
/sql="SELECT * FROM systools.group_ptf_currency"

I am trying to get one of Scott Forsties examples to work.

I have split it down into small pieces and the following piece is not
working.

java -Dcom.ibm.iaccess.ActLikeExternal=true -jar /home/acs/acsbundle.jar
/PLUGIN=cldownload /system=MSD820
/clientfile=/home/MSDDCB/systemnameGroupPTFCurrency03202021.xlsx
/sql="SELECT * FROM systools.group_ptf_currency"

The sql statement works if run on its own
The acsbundle.jar exists and has *PUBLIC *RWX authority
The directory /home/MSDDCB exists and has *PUBLIC *RWX authority
I am running this from STRQSH

If I change the system name I get an error that it can't resolve the
system name

If I change the acsbundle.jar name I get an error that it can't find the
jar file

If I change the /clientfile directory to something that does not exist I
do NOT get an error

When I run the statement it takes a few seconds to complete which is

about

identical to running the sql on it's own - so I presume the sql is
executing.

But no file is created.

The acsbundle.jar is from version 1.1.8.6

The system is V7R3 and was current on PTF's last month.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Don
