Hello Group, This is my first posting here and hope to get to help from all this group.

Wehave a set of JCL's running in Mainframe environment that kicks
SQR to run and send output to SAR. Now we wanted to design such
that JCL to call a Secure Unix Shell, The Shell should execute
in Unix box. My questions is
Do we need to enable connectivity between Mainframe to Unix?
How do we call a Secure Shell from JCL and any Daemon setup required before calling Secure Shell?
is rexec command to call a Shell script is secured?

Any documentation or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

gmuralik,

BPXBATCH is an MVS utility that you can use to run shell commands or shell
scripts and to run executable files through the MVS batch environment. You
can invoke BPXBATCH:

* In JCL
* From the TSO/E READY prompt
* From TSO CLISTs and REXX execs
* From a program

Check this link for documentation

qmuralik,
The UNIX box is a separate machine and not just UNIX under MVS?

We do this with OPC job scheduler and UNIX machine defined a remote workstation.

Kolusu, i read that using BPXBATCH can only call Unix or Shell commands with in Mainframe Unix System services. I need to know to how to run Unix shell Scirpts via SSH from JCL?

[gmuralik]

Can you give more details about OPC?

[semigeezer]

run a Unix script that invokes SSH and call that script from BPXBATCH

Thanks semigeezer, Do you have any sample code?
