XFER Interface

The XFER interface lets you transfer files between CA Spool and JES. The interface consists of:

JESTOESF
ESFTOJES

JESTOESF uses the SYSOUT Application Program Interface (SAPI) in JES to read files from the JES queue. These files are copied to the CA Spool queue and deleted from JES.

If the JESSPOOL class is active in RACF, perform these actions:

Define profiles in that class.
Permit the CA Spool started task user ID to access the profiles with UPDATE access.

The following example assumes that CA Spool has access to all JES files:

XFERSAPI=YES
RDEFINE JESSPOOL ** UACC(NONE)
PERMIT ** CLASS(JESSPOOL) ID(ESF) ACCESS(UPDATE)

XFERSAPI=NO
RDEFINE JESSPOOL ** UACC(NONE)
PERMIT ** CLASS(JESSPOOL) ID(ESF) ACCESS(ALTER)

ESFTOJES allocates spin-off data sets under the CA Spool started task. The selected files to be transferred to JES are files with destinations recognized as JES destinations.
