Error description

  • The install of bundles fails with messages:
    
    Exception in thread "Router-Init-Thread"
    com.ibm.cics.router.RouterException:
    1 errors detected when the OSGi Framework started up.
    
    The first error occurred in the following bundle:
    org.eclipse.equinox.io_1.1.100.v20150430-1834
    at com.ibm.cics.router.Router.initStandardOSGI(Router.java:642)
    
    Bundles remain disabled with following messages:
    Unresolved requirement: Import-Package:
    org.osgi.service.io;version="1.0.0"
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    CICS 5.3 ships (unlike CICS 5.2) the minimal osgi framework jars
    required for the OSGI framework to function correctly.
    
    Clients expect that all parts of the Equinox Framework are
    shipped and that all the bundles are enabled automatically so
    that users do not have to update the JVM profile to achieve
    this.
    

Local fix

  • Download the required IO Connector Service from the Equinox
    website.

    CICS includes the Equinox implementation of the OSGi framework
    to run Java applications that comply with the OSGi
    specification in a JVM server, however the contents of this
    framework has changed across CICS releases.
    Two jars have been identified which are now missing from the
    framework:
    org.eclipse.equinox.io.jar
    org.eclipse.equinox.util.jar
    

Problem conclusion

  • UI36704
    The missing jars org.eclipse.equinox.io.jar and
    org.eclipse.equinox.util.jar have been shipped in addition to
    the Equinox framework.
