  The plugin attempts to validate the location of the kdb and
  sth files that are defined within the plugin-cfg.xml file.
  z/OS systems using RACF do not define these kind of files.
  This causes a failure when it attempts to validate the
  location.
  

Problem conclusion

• The plugin has been updated to properly handle z/OS systems so
  that it will not cause the error.
