Preparing JES Spool to deliver files to CMOD via arsjesd?

[Justin Derrick]

Hi everyone. 

It's not often that I get to ask a z/OS question, so take it easy on me... 

I have a potential customer that is considering implementing CMOD -- but the question I couldn't answer for them was:
   "How do we configure JES to send files to CMOD?"

(As I understand it, files are sent from the JES Spool and delivered via TCP/IP to arsjesd, as if it was a printer.)

The follow-up question is: "How does arsjesd know what to name the file that's being received?"  The z/OS guy on the call seemed to think there was no dataset information for printouts in the JES queue.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I believe its in the JES Queue class assignment of the output, and there is an ARSLOAD started task which monitors that class.

//ARSLOAD  EXEC PGM=ARSLOAD,REGION=0M,TIME=NOLIMIT,                     
//  PARM=('/-h ARSDBASE -c /ars/tmp -C 0 -E -A WRITER -fv              \
//             -U /etc/ars/arsload.cfg   ')                             

The value after "-C", 0 here, is the JES class to pick up .
The value after "-A" is the portion of the JES name identifying the application.
