THE SETUP
Operating System: OS/400 (a.k.a IBMi Server)
Java Version: Please see below
cecuser@p1313-pvm1:~/jenkins_home $ java -version
java version "17.0.10" 2024-01-16
IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition (build 17.0.10+7)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM (build openj9-0.43.0, JRE 17 OS/400 ppc64-64-Bit Compressed References 20240224_000000 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9 - 2c3d78b48
OMR - ea8124dbc
JCL - dde9c9ccfe1 based on jdk-17.0.10+7)
Installed Plugins: Currently No Plugins are installed
How Jenkins is Run: via WAR file
Reverse Proxy setup: No
How is it installed: First, wget http://mirrors.jenkins.io/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war and then did a java -jar with required parameters as below
java -DJENKINS_HOME=/home/cecuser/jenkins_home -jar '/home/cecuser/jenkins/jenkins.war' '--httpPort=9095'
Browser: Chrome 131.0.6778.109
THE PROBLEM
I have used Jenkins previously (5-6 months ago) on this same IBMi server and was able to install the plugins without any issues. But now I tried to do a fresh installation and the plugins are not getting installed. I know Jenkins is not officially supported for OS/400 (a.k.a IBM i) architecture, but I wouldn’t have posted this question if it worked previously. I also tried uploading the .hpi files manually, but still the plugin installation fails. Below is the error message from my log.
It says the manifest file is not found?

I did the basic troubleshooting as per this guide Fix Jenkins Plugin Installation Failed Error: A Deep Guide - DevopsRoles.com Better 2024, and yet couldn’t figure out.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi.
