Control your UNIX or Windows Batch Applications the same way you do it on a z/OS platform. ujES is a Java application that allows many nodes (Unix, Linux, Mac/OS, Windows platforms) to communicate with one another and optionally with a z/OS mainframe through the “uJES z/OS Bridge” using TCP/IP and a common language. The Advantage? uJES not only establishes transparent communication between heterogeneous platforms using JES commands. uJES also offers these platforms all the file management utilities and resource control capabilities available on z/OS mainframes. These z/OS services, not available on other platforms, are highly appreciated by mainframe staff in charge of the control and consolidation of decentralized applications. No specific knowledge is required. uJES uses a unique language to communicate with all the platforms, whatever the operating system flavor. The Purpose? uJES provides a centralized and consolidated monitoring feature to control hundred’s of processes taking place across many servers (nodes). With the JES based communication language, uJES is a universal “Agent” that can communicate with any application on any server. No “platform specific” knowledge required and no new learning curve for every platform type or “OS flavor”.

1. Control your UNIX or Windows
Batch applications the same way
you do it in z/OS !
uJES™

2. 2
Other MVS users really want to control part of the UNIX
batch production process while retaining their habits
and working methods
z/OS vs UNIX: Some facts
uJES is intended to be used by people who understand the
MVS production
Some MVS users find themselves unwillingly involved
with UNIX systems
MVS has been a proven technology for many years,
operated by reliable staff with highly valuable skills.
The UNIX operating system was never designed
to manage an IT batch production.

3. 3
• No information
centralization
• Very poor incident
management
solution
• No control facilities
• No SYSOUT
management
• No traceability
• No tools to enforce
UNIX rules
• No file organization
• Directories search
and scripts decoding
are required to locate
a file
• No understanding
of scripts and
symbolic
Unix: Major drawbacks

4. 4
• Complex file
management system
• No control of file
usage or availability
• No utilities to
remove obsolete files
• No knowledge
outsourcing is
available
• Operator is required
to have UNIX system
programmer skills
• Risky decision
making process.
• No impact
measurement with
restart actions
• And more…
Unix: Major drawbacks

5. 5
Centralized Output
• An MVS / SDSF like SYSOUT management
• A simple way to group and view all the
outputs produced by all the processes in a
unique location
Focal Point
• An MVS / JES like centralized system
• Process control of UNIX environments
• Complete control of the UNIX
production from a central uJES
console
• Supports distributed systems or not
Why uJES?

6. 6
File Identification
• UNIX files are externalized with the use of
the “Data Set” concept
• Catalogs and Aliases offer a simplified view
of the UNIX file system
• MVS / JES like ”Generation Data Groups”
Process Management
• Optimize parallel process execution
using “Initiators”
• Resources balancing using Execution
classes , Execution priority and
initiators availability
Why uJES?

7. 7
UNIX JCL
• Separates the production rules from
the UNIX program of scripts logic
• Isolates the production concerns from
the programming objectives
• Simplifies the operator and the
programmer tasks.
Resources Management
• MVS like file usage control with the
“File Disposition” concept
• Like in MVS , no shared or exclusive
file usage conflicts
• File allocation and release
management
Why uJES?

uJES Technical overview

9. uJES provides JES facilities like in z/OS:
• Readers, Initiators and Printers
• Centralized Control of Jobs and Outputs
• Job Management with Job Class and Priority
• JES Data Sets for In Stream data (Sysin) and System
Outputs (Sysout);
• z/OS like Consoles and Console Management;
• z/OS Catalogs and Data Sets;
• z/OS JCL Interpretation and z/OS Utility emulation;
• z/OS Partitioned Data Sets and Generation Data
Group
• z/OS Input Data Set Concatenation
• Data Set Allocation / Release according to
Disposition;
• RACF like Security to control Program Execution and
Data Set Access.

uJES Overview

10. In uJES, a Program is a UNIX Script or a Windows
Batch File. uJES can run Programs as they are or by
submitting a Job containing z/OS JCL Statements.
When using a Job, uJES does exactly the same as z/OS:
• DD Statements describe how to allocate Data Sets
• Catalogs are used to assign Data Sets UNIX or
Windows file paths;
• File paths in the Script or Batch Files can be
replaced by Environment Variables;
• STEPLIBs, JOBLIBs and 'Link Lists' are used to locate
Programs from EXEC Statements.
uJES JCL also supports:
• Procedure & Procedure Libraries
• Include Members and Symbol Substitution.
Jobs can be submitted from the outside, e.g a UNIX
Scheduling System.

11. the uJES network
11

12. • Several uJES Systems can be connected each
other and controlled from a single Console.
• Consoles are local or remote and operate in
Graphic or Line mode.
• Line mode Consoles allows external
applications to control or monitor a uJES
System.

13. the z/OS connectivity

14. z/OS Systems have a Job Entry Subsystem, JES2
or JES3.
The uJES z/OS Bridge:
•Makes JES look like a uJES Node
•Allows z/OS and uJES to work together.

z/OS Connectivity

15. Behond uJES
• uJES is not a Scheduling system
• uJES provides a global solution to
fix the UNIX deficiencies
Runs Stand-Alone or not.
Provides feed-back about
submitted jobs & processes.
Federates various scheduling
systems.
Reduces tracking agents
Reduces product interfaces

16. uJES: Build your License
18
Create your configuration:
• CPU models, MIPS, users independent
• Each platform is a node (others call it ”Agent”)
• Each z/OS is also a node (optional)
• Web technical support and problem solving included
Control your Budget:
• Select the quantity and type nodes you need
• Telephone support assistance (optional)
• Purchase product upgrades (when necessary)
