Question

How can I permit an FTP user to submit a job to JES?

Answer

Perform the following steps:

  • Create the JCL and data that you want to submit, using the editor on your client. If the FTP server is set up for JESINTERFACELEVEL 1, to be able to display the status, receive spool output for, and delete a job, the job name in the JCL must be the USERIDx, where x is a 1-character letter or number and USERID must be the user ID you use to log in to the FTP server to submit the job. Otherwise if the job name in the JCL is not USERIDx, the job can be submitted but the DIr subcommand does not display the job, and the GET and DELETE subcommands will not be supported for the job. If the FTP server is set up for JESINTERFACELEVEL 2, the job name can be any name you are authorized to view using the Security Authorization Facility (SAF), such as RACF.

  • Start a session with the FTP server on the MVS system to which you want to submit the job.

  • After you have logged into the server, specify that you want to interface to JES with a site parameter by entering the following: SITE FILEtype=JES

  • To submit the JCL file you have created, enter the following: PUT filename.filetype
