JES2 (Job Entry Subsystem)

This course describes how and why JES2 evolved and introduces the major JES2 components, their purpose, and general terminology.

This course describes how JES2 devices are used, their possible statuses, and how batch jobs are processed. The final module discusses operational aspects associated with JES2 including how it is automatically and manually started and stopped, and commands that can be used when there are problems with these processes.

This course describes the JES2 command syntax and provides numerous examples explaining the scenarios in which JES2 commands are used. An overview of commonly used JES2 commands is also provided.

This course begins by looking at the JES2 commands used for displaying printer, initiator, and spool activity, and then focuses on batch jobs and the JES2 commands used to display their status and attributes.

This course builds from previous training, describing commonly used JES2 commands used to manage and schedule batch job activity. It also introduces JES2 networking capabilities, describing how batch jobs can be scheduled for processing on other mainframe sites within the organization.

This course discusses the manipulation of JES2 initiator and printer resources that are associated with job, and job output, processing.

This course provides you with examples of common JES2 batch job-related problems and explains the process and JES2 commands that are used to display, analyze and resolve those issues.

This course provides detailed information relating to the function and use of JES2 checkpoints; their placement, and attributes, along with steps required to resolve problems associated with this resource.

This course looks at JES2 initialization parameters used to define JES2 system resources and the subsequent JES2 commands used to display and resolve problems that occur with these items. The JES2 shutdown process is revisited in more detail, providing information on problem resolution techniques if JES2 cannot be shut down gracefully.

This course contains many JES2-related tips, tricks, techniques and best-practice items that you may find useful in your day-to-day activities. It covers several new areas of functionality associated with recent z/OS releases.

A number of simulations are provided that the student can use to assess their skills and knowledge in relation to the entering of commands, and interpretation of output produced, when monitoring and manipulating the JES2 subsystem and its resources.

This assessment measures the student’s general knowledge of JES2 functionality and tests skills associated with entering commands used to start and stop JES2. This assessment also tests the ability to enter appropriate JES2 commands used to display or control JES2 devices and the interpretation of any resulting data.

This assessment measures the student’s skills and knowledge associated with being able to identify and apply an action to be taken when a JES2 related problem occurs.

This assessment is designed for data center staff responsible for the operation and monitoring of JES2 controlled devices, or other IT specialists that are required to have a solid understanding of the JES2 product.

This assessment measures the student's skills and knowledge associated with being able to identify and apply an action to be taken when a JES2 related problem occurs.
