Installation Note 65208: The z/OS INSTAL12 job fails in Rev. 940_19w14 and later with "Error: Could not find or load main class com.sas.tools.installs.it.zos.ZosMain"
 |  |  |  |
The INSTAL12 job fails when you install an order that was generated before Rev. 940_19w14 while using deployment tools from Rev. 940_19w14 through Rev. 940_19w47. In these circumstances, the job fails with the following error and ends with a return code=12:
Error: Could not find or load main class com.sas.tools.installs.it.zos.ZosMain
Workaround
- Edit the <HLQ>.INSTALL.CNTL(INSTAL12) job and find the line that containing the string zosmain. In that line, find the following code:
MAIN="com.sas.tools.installs.it.zos.ZosMain"
- Change the code to the following:
MAIN="com.sas.tools.installs.it.ZosMain"
- Delete the code that appears between following lines to prevent further errors. Start with this line (around line 44):
msg="Updating the deployment registry..."
Delete all the code through the line immediately before this line (around line 95):
msg="Initializing the VJR cache..."
- Save the job and submit it again.
A fix for this issue is planned for Rev. 940_20w04.
