Error when doing Offline Install Instructions (without ACS)

[Former user]

I'm getting error message "Command ended normally with exit status 1." after issuing command "QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /tmp/bootstrap.log; /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/bootstrap.sh > /tmp/bootstrap.log 2>&1')"

Log file "/tmp/bootstrap.log" /tmp/bootstrap.sh: /tmp/gtar: cannot execute Bootstrap failed

Do you have *ALLOBJ?

[Niklas Odsäter]

Yes, I have *ALLOBJ.

I'm not sure how that would occur then. We will have to do more verification.

It worked fine after I did the following steps recommended by Jerry McKee, IBM.

1) Log into into 5250 as QSECOFR. 2) Go into Qshell 3) Run the following commands: • cd /tmp • rm bootstrap.log • rm bootstrap.sh • rm bootstrap.tar • rm gtar

4) Follow the instruction for offline installation without ACS again. If you already have the two files download on your PC delete them. I want a fresh start. https://bitbucket.org/ibmi/opensource/src/master/docs/yum/#markdown-header-offline-install-instructions-without-acs

When you upload the files to /tmp use FTP in binary mode, sign on as QSECOFR in FTP.

Thanks for posting the resolution! Jerry Mckee from IBM is certainly a guru!
