00001 install=smb://openqa/inst/SLE-15-SP1-Installer-DVD-s390x-Build21.2-Media got truncated in the last character, despite that Trunc is set to 80 characters.
I guess that LREC parameter is set to 72.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 15.6

Expected result

Last good: sle15gm

labeled all zVM failures on SLE15SP1 with it, @mgriessmeier mentioned a problem in the underlying z/VM infrastructure, could be fixed by now, let's see if restart helps.

@mloviska: I've tried a lot around line continuation, playing around with trunc and lrec etc. with no success :/
do you have any other idea here? otherwise we'd need to workaround this by e.g. using an url shortener I guess

@mgriessmeier, have you tried to create a new file with different LREC ?
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSB27U_6.4.0/com.ibm.zvm.v640.dmsb3/crecfmt.htm#crecfmt
I will try to find something else, but from the top of my head I cannot recall any other solution.

no time/ideas to work on this at the moment.
Since this failed for a long time, I have removed it from Functional Group and move to test development job group for SLE15

picking up again
most likely looking forward to a solution which makes use of short links from s.qa.suse.de - any objections regarding that?

so the best possibility to move on here is to use the info-file approach from #43655 and for generating this file to use a similiar approach like we do for AY profile generation - I will try that out and come up with a PR
