ZWEL0073E

Launcher Could not load schemas, status=5

Reason:

The Zowe Launcher was able to locate the runtime directory, but unable to find the /schemas directory.

Action:

Locate the runtimeDirectory from the zowe.yaml variable runtimeDirectory: "<PATH_TO_RUNTIME>".

Check that there is a <PATH_TO_RUNTIME>/schemas directory. This should contain four .json files shown below.

manifest-schema.json
server-common-json
trivial-component-schema.json
zowe-yaml-schema.json

On ocassion the error occurs because the runtimeDirectory is pointing to a valid directory, but one which doesn't contain a valid Zowe runtime environment is one of the first failures during a Zowe launch.
