Hi, yugesh,

Would you please click F12 in IE to open a new window which contains the developer tools? Then please check if there is any error message under the Console tab when you work with the sample html.

Thanks. Qi

Hi Qi,

I'm trying to run it from my pc to get the jobs information from my mainframe.

below is the error that I could see.

SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2ee7, Could not complete the operation due to error 00002ee7. File: rest-job.html

Hi yugesh,

It seems to be a network issue. Could you please try to visit z/OSMF directly from the same browser and see if it works? The URL of z/OSMF can be found in the rest-job.html.

Thanks.

Hi IQ,

I can do it directly. like https://169.10.244.204/zosmf/api/explorer/#!/Dataset_APIs/GetListDataSets .. I'm able to get it..

but the link https://169.10.244.204:443/zosmf/restfiles/ds?dslevel=a93lnzz.** doesnt work IBM said we need to have a plugin installed for the direct link to work.

thanks yugesh.

Hi, yugesh,

Thanks for sharing the information.

From your description, your PC has correct network connection with the z/OSMF server and you can access the z/OSMF Swagger interface. I don't understand why the connection fails when using the html file. Since IE is already end of service, could you please try with Edge, Firefox or Chrome?

The latest version of browsers might disallow the cross site request, so please configure CORS allow list in your z/OSMF server. Please refer to the "Enabling cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) for REST services" section of the following page for details: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=guide-using-zosmf-rest-services . This is the typical settings when web applications want to invoke z/OSMF REST services.

Thanks. Qi.

Hi Qi,

I dont have the following settings on my system, but I don't see any errors for access controls. In addition, your user ID requires authorization to the z/OSMF SAF profile prefix on the target z/OS system, as follows: READ access to in the APPL class READ access to the .*.izuUsers profile in the EJBROLE class. Or, at a minimum, READ access to the .IzuManagementFacilityRestJobs resource name in the EJBROLE class.

and also we dont have JESJOBS class defined at all

thanks yugesh,

Hi, yugesh,

JESJOBS class is only required by Jobs modification operations. You don't need to configure it if you are not using the Jobs modification function. As you mentioned, you are invoking REST files and data set API, right?

Have you solved the network error in IE please?

Thanks. Qi.

Hi Qi,

I dont have any settings that are missing in RACF.

can we try to add "'Authorization':'Basic '" this to the html code and see if I can get it to work.

thanks yugesh.

[ibmliqi]

Hi, yugesh,

I don't think we need to add the Authorization header in the html. We'd better solve your network error first. Could you please check if your IE 11 is the latest version? Have you tried other types of browers?

Thanks. Qi.

Hi, yugesh,

Could you please confirm if you enabled "Access data sources across domains" in IE 11? You can enable it on IE by going into Internet Options -> Security Settings ->Custom level and enabling "Access data sources across domains".

Please disable it once you finish the test of the html.

Thanks. Qi.

Hi Qi,

I'm trying to work with my network team.

No response yet from them. I will check on this Ie setting and let you know.

Thanks Yugesh
