RJE Replacement

Current Remote Job Entry (RJE) systems contain inherent limitations. Remote systems can submit work to the host for processing and receive print data, but the host cannot distribute processing tasks to idle processors residing on the network. A further concern for data processing managers is the requirement that users are familiar with Job Entry Subsystem (JES) commands to operate the system.

CA XCOM Data Transport avoids these limitations by taking advantage of the LU 6.2 and TCP/IP protocols, providing a peer-to-peer relationship between all supported systems. Any CA XCOM Data Transport system is able to send and receive batch jobs and print data from any other CA XCOM Data Transport system without formatting constraints.

For example, an i5/OS (AS/400) user can do the following:

• Automatically retrieve files from a number of attached PCs.
• Process the data.
• Generate a report.
• Send one copy of the report back to the source PC for printing.
• Send another to the z/OS mainframe for printing on a high speed printer.

You can easily implement CA XCOM Data Transport without any changes to your existing application programs. Data is transferred with greater integrity and higher efficiency.
