FTP JCL to mainframe to run

tjmeichen · Post by **tjmeichen** » Tue May 27, 2003 1:41 pm

I am using Data Stage XE and what I am trying to do is set up an FTP to the mainframe. The file that will be sent is the JCL for a job on an OS390 machine. I am trying to FTP directly into the JES system to kick off this job. We do not do Data set triggering where I am at, so I need to do it this way.

Use the FTP stage.

Hope that helps

Other solution is to write FTP script in operating system including the kicking off of your MF job.
You can execute this script from DataStage job or post job event.

Are you trying to do this from a mainframe job, a server job or a parallel job? The solution will vary depending on which of these you are using.

I am trying to do this from a server job. I know to use the FTP stage, but in our system, we have to have a site file = JES to submit the JCL. Also, I am unsure on how to write the script that was described.
