The NJE-over-TCP/IP code is now available for z/OS 1.8 JES3. [ If you're a z/OS veteran, skip this information between brackets:
NJE (Network Job Entry) allows JES-to-JES communication between z/OS systems, either running on the same machine or across machines. JES (Job Entry Subsystem) is the master job submission "engine" for z/OS: the subsystem that tells z/OS to go do something and which manages job output. It's like a service window or service counter for z/OS, the place you go to get something done and/or get the results. JES2 and JES3 are the two JES variants. Previously NJE required an SNA protocol connection, but many organizations would like to use TCP/IP for various reasons. The JES2 NJE-over-TCP/IP feature is already available, and this new code now adds TCP/IP support for JES3. SNA is still supported and will be indefinitely. ] Please reference APAR OA16527. (If you search on "OA16527" at ibm.com you'll find it.) z/OS 1.9 at GA will have this function. I missed this one a couple weeks ago, so apologies if it's old news. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
