Zend Core v2.6.1
i5/OS V6R1M0
Installed Zend Core, with what appears to be no issues. However, daily I receive a log in my root regarding a connection to the Zend Core Update Server:
1. Where do I configure the path of these logs? I don't want them in my root, but in some sub directory.
2. How do I fix this (following) error?

It's trying to connect to check for updates.
Is your AS400 able to make connections out to the internet or is that restricted?
You can stop the job from running by
go zendcore/zcmenu
2. Update via Zend Network menu
then
3. Work with Updater scheduled jobs
or
4. Remove all Updater scheduled jobs
Perhaps if you look at the job maybe you can determine how to change it to write to the directory you want.

I got in touch with support and there is no configuration for this log.

The most common reason the Core Updater cannot connect is because the Zend User ID and password have not been set up. To set them up, go to the Updater menu from a 5250 command line:
GO ZENDCORE/ZCUMENU
Use option "1. Change Network ID user/password". The User ID and Password are the same ones you use to log in at zend.com to download software, check your licenses, submit support tickets, etc. At zend.com you can use either your User ID or email address to log in, but here it must be the User ID. The email address will not work. Also, you should avoid special characters, because some of them will not translate correctly from EBCDIC to ASCII.
To verify your User ID and Password are entered correctly, go to the Zend Core Admin interface in your web browser at http://<your i5 ip address>:89/ZendCore/ Go to Control Center -> Updates, and click the Check Updates link. If you are able to check the updates successfully, you are good to go.

1. make sure your i5 can does not have any network restrictions on accessing the web.
2. For more information on the update possibilities please follow this link:

Create a savf file on the iSeries server using the
CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/ZCORESAVF)
command, and FTP the installation savf file over to the iSeries server into the above savf file.
Restore the object using the following command:
RSTOBJ OBJ(ZENDRSTPRD) SAVLIB(ZENDCORE) DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(QGPL/ZCORESAVF) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) RSTLIB(QGPL)
