This interface allows a client application to perform operations with batch jobs on a z/OS system. With the z/OS jobs REST interface, an application can use REST services to perform the following operations with batch jobs: v Obtain the status of a job v List the jobs for an owner, prefix, or job ID v List the spool files for a job v Retrieve the contents of a job spool file v Submit a job to run on z/OS v Cancel a job v Change the job class of a job v Cancel a job and purge its output." ================================================================= Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com +1 636.300.0901 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
