Bhaskar,

Please do not post the same question in more than 1 forum. Use FTP commands Specifying "filetype jes", and then PUT your jcl to the mainframe and it'll go to the internal reader which actually will be submitted on the mainframe. The following topic shows an example.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Bhaskar,

The put 'your file having JCL' statement is the place where you specify the jobname. for ex: Your job to be submitted is in the pds USERID.JCL and the member name is BHASKAR, then you will code

Kolusu, a minor correction. I was just working on this concept just last week.

If you wish to submit a job via FTP, and the JCL resides in a dataset on the target mainframe, rather than in a file on the FTP client system, then you issue a "get" command:

ftp>quote "site file=jes"
ftp>get 'MY.PDS(MYMEMB)'

which 'pulls' the JCL from 'MY.PDS(MYMEMB)' and routes it directly to the JES Internal Reader for execution. Using this method, the ftp process will actually then wait for the completed job and will download the job information at that time.

You can access your files on the mainframe using FTP though a web browser but I am fairly confident you cannot submit JCL this way. This is because you can't change the SITE properties through the web browser.

Use native FTP instead.

Bhaskar, I think you need to clarify what you mean by "WEB".

You yourself provided the FTP code:

ftp ipaddress
userd
password
quote site filetype=jes
put 'your file having JCL'
quit

What you have shown will work, whether the FTP connection is over a LAN, a WAN, or the Internet.

Do you mean to say that the client is connected to the mainframe via a web browser? If so, how does this client communicate to the mainframe? Is it via HTTP? Is there some software running in between the client and the mainframe that is converting the mainframe data from one protocol to another? Can the communications software handle this task?

Why not just use a CGI on the web server to do it? No Java required, probably about 10 or fewer lines of rexx if the JCL is already on the mainframe. The trick is configuring the web server, but you get security for free from the web server, easy access to SSL and easy maintainability. Or you could write your own simplified FTP client (RFC 959), but unless you intend to implement Secure FTP (RFC 2228), you will be building an inherently insecure system. Also, if you are writing an applet that expects to read the users hard drive, you have the security restrictions (the sandbox) of the JVM so you have to handle that in multiple browsers and JVMs. FTP and CGI are just 2 ways to do it. I suspect there are many more (telnet, a home grown monitor on the host, IBM's job monitor shipped with WSED, another vendors' RJE implementations, etc). FTP is the easiest by far, but is not secure. CGI is very easy too if you have the web server expertise and a tiny bit of Rexx.

Passwords are often case-sensitive . If you used Upper case (caps) change it to lower and vice versa , that may help. If not , then looks like you somehow have the wrong password.
