Enable and Configure JES

Firstly, you need to enable JES and then you need to configure the directories and other details needed for the enterprise server to find deployed programs:

  1. In ESCWA, on the GENERAL PROPERTIES page for the PLIDEMO region.
  2. Check JES Enabled.
  3. Click APPLY.

    This will display the JES menu option.

  4. Click JES.

    This displays the JES CONFIGURATION page.

  5. In the JES Program Path field, type $PLIJCLDEMO\PLIJCLbuild.bin

    This is the path for the directory containing executable files to be run by your JCL jobs. This is the path to the folder of your project that contains the PL/I .dll files.

  6. In the System Catalog field, type $PLIJCLDEMO\CATALOG.DAT

    This is the path and name of the system catalog. This is a file that holds the details of data files, their attributes and locations. If the catalogue file does not exist, it will be created with the name given when the JCL is submitted.

  7. In the Default Allocated Dataset Location field, type $PLIJCLDEMO

    This is the default path for the directory where new data sets are to be created.

  8. Click APPLY.
