Rational Developer for System z

Features that use the COBOL importer do not work properly

To resolve this problem, install the required 32-bit Linux package from the Linux install disk or package repository.

Note: For a partial list of 32-bit Linux packages that are prerequisites for running Developer for System z® on a supported 64-bit Linux operating system, see IBM® Rational® Developer for System z Version 8.0.3: Installation Guide.
Operating systems:
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6 64-bit

Problem:
Features of Rational Developer for System z that invoke the COBOL importer do not work properly or fail completely. These features include:
  • Local syntax checking of a COBOL source file.
  • Enterprise Service Tools: Many source-code generation scenarios.
  • Other features that use the importer.

Symptoms:
  • A feature that relies on the COBOL importer does not work properly or fails.
  • The error log contains error messages saying that the importer cannot be run. For example:
    java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/opt/IBM/SDPShared/plugins/com.ibm.etools.cobol.linux_7.1.0.v20100921_2345/importer/IGYCCOB2" (in directory "/root/IBM/rationalsdp/workspace/e1/.metadata/.plugins/com.ibm.etools.cobol/1302111800579"): java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory.

Analysis:
The COBOL importer requires 32-bit versions of the Linux operating system libraries. Some of these libraries are not installed by default with Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6 64-bit.

Resolution:
To resolve the problem:
  1. Install the 32-bit package redhat-lsb-4.0-2.1.el6.i686 from the Linux install disk or package repository. For example, from the command line of a terminal window enter the following:
    yum install redhat-lsb-4.0-2.1.el6.i686
  2. Close and reopen Rational Developer for System z.

The features of Rational Developer for System z that rely on the COBOL importer should now work properly.
