This course builds on JES2 System Control I and describes the JES2 and MVS commands for controlling batch jobs, started tasks, and time-sharing users. Manipulating jobs in the queues and controlling JES2 initiators are also described. The course describes JES2 initiators, the commands used to control them, and how JES2 initiators select work from the execution queues. Also discussed are commands to change the class or priority of jobs in the JES2 execution queue. The course provides an introduction to the operating system and its components. MVS and JES2 commands used to control jobs in execution are discussed. The course describes the commands used to start, modify, stop, cancel, and monitor the execution of a started task. It explains how to send messages to time-sharing users. Finally, the course explains operational considerations for JES2 network job entry environments. This course is written to JES2 version 5.2.

System Control II training covers such topics as:

Controlling JES2 Initiators
MVS Execution Services
Controlling Jobs in Execution
Controlling Started Tasks
Controlling Time-Sharing
Multi-Access Spool
JES2 Network and Job Entry

This course is intended for operations personnel at an MVS JES2 installation or for entry-level computer operators, but it can also be taken by data entry, scheduling, and support personnel who need to know basic JES2 operations.

JES2: Job Controls II
Everything Programming

Description
This course discusses output specifications and output processing and explains how to specify a
Universal Character Set image and a Forms control Buffer image. It describes how to force a page
break, control line spacing and load characters sets. The course discusses the burster-trimmerstacker,
all-points-addressable printers, and the parameters for advanced function printing. It also
identifies situations when special output processing is required. The course describes the JES2
REmote Job Entry facility and the JES2 Network Job Entry facility in considerable detail and explains
how to code the JCL parameters and JES2 control statements to route jobs and SYSOUT data to
other locations. It also shows how to route SYSOUT data to a particular local printer, to a printer at a
remote workstation, or to another node in a network and describes how to route jobs for execution
on another processor in a network. The course discusses the types of JES2 commands and the
restrictions typically placed on command entry from remote terminals, and describes the JES2
commands that can be used from a local console to display the status of jobs, communicate with
the operator, control jobs in the JES2 queues, and control SYSOUT data.
Audience
This course is designed for operators with previous JES2 experience.
Prerequisites
Prior JES2 experience.
