Hi All,

We are not able to start the z1090 emulator when we give awsstart command we see following output:

IBM System z Personal Development Tool (zPDT) Licensed Materials - Property of IBM 5799-ADE (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2007   All Rights Reserved. z1090, version 1-2.41.23.01, build date - 09/20/10 for Linux on SuSE 64bit AWSSTA014I Map file name specified: aprof13 AWSSTA204I zPDT started in directory '/usr/z1090/bin'.

Please help us in this regard.

This looks like an installation problem. Please reinstall the zPDT emulator and try again. Pay attention to the details in zPDT Redbook Vol 2, particularly as they pertain to userids and authority levels used for the various steps. Make sure you tailor the system files as directed and that you set the correct file permissions and owners for your system files.
