If you are a Systems Programmer working in a z/OS JES2 environment, it is vitally important that you have a thorough understanding of IBM's Job Entry Subsystem 2 (JES2).<br>This course describes and explains what functions there are in JES2, and teaches how to set up a JES2 system in order to fully exploit the features and capabilities of the product.<br><br>This course is also available for one-company, on-site presentations and for live presentation over the Internet, via the Virtual Classroom Environment service.

A sound knowledge of z/OS concepts, JCL and utilities.

  • describe how JES2 works within MVS
  • control the start and stop processes of JES2
  • describe the JES2 functions and facilities
  • set up and install an efficient JES2 system
  • dynamically change JES2 parameters
  • customise JES2 to your specific requirements
  • set up and manage the RJE and NJE environments.
