    Provide JES2 health check to show when init parms do not match currently active parms

    We have a number of JES2 environments which have evolved over time. Due to consolidation, acquisitions and simplification, JES2 init parms may have been modified without the active environment being updated. With many parameters, a JES2 warm start...

    JES2 policy editor

    JES2 policy is a new feature in z/OS 2.4 that allows system programmer to create JES2 job preprocessing and post processing other than using exits. However, JES2 policy is in form of JSON. It would be more user friendly to design the JES2 policy w...

    Add SSI 82 functions to return current values of items in DEF parms

    We recently dropped all direct control block access (using an offset table) in a product, switching to SSI 82 ("the supported way"). This created an issue with one customer, who was depending on the value we returned for the spool volume prefix. I...

    JES2EDS : add card SYSTCPD to specifiy stack affinity

    JES2 - no automatic Reconfiguration driven after Site Outage

    After a planned SITE1 outage we saw that JES2 Reconfiguration was started driven by member "x", but just a few seconds later member "x" was QUIESCED as it was running in SITE1. Because of that we see that member "Y" has taken over with RECONFIGURA...

    JES2 - Improve reaction to PROCLIB moves and Open/Close

    In the above IBM Case we described a problem on one of our customer's system, whereby a PROC(00) data set was moved by the customer to a new volume and the catalogue entry adapted (DELETE & DEFINE NONVSAM). We do realise this is not a good thi...

    SA JES2 SPOOL monitor to detect unusual growth

    In normal operation, JES2 spool can fill up and notification is received when we hit the JES2 warning level. The warning level we currently have set is 80% and we have SPOOLSHORT commands in-place to reduce this. However, what we do not have is vi...
