 Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2003 5:25 am Post subject: Invoking a jcl from Unix |
 |
|
Hi ,
We are planning to submit a JCL in OS390 using a perl-script from a unix box.The JCL will be hard-coded in the script.As per my understanding, it is required to provide a suitable racf-id & password along with the Jobcard of the JCL for the successful submission of the JCL. Please confirm this understanding.
Assuming that the above understanding is correct, then the ID and Password will be visible to anyone who can see the perl script and any one who can see the job in the spool . I have two questions here :
1)Is there any way to encrypt the racf password while providing it to the job card ?
2)Or is there any way to submit the JCL other than the method which I have described ?
Hope I have explained the problem clearly. Please let me know if you need more details to help me out.

Jagfit,
There are many ways to accomplish the task. One of them is to FTP the JCL from Unix directly to JES INTRDR thru FTP parameter site filetype=jes. If you have any scheduler package at your shop then you can trigger the job by FTP.
To answer your queries FTP must have a RACF userid/password, so create a generic racf userid with minimal authority.
I am not real sure if we can encrypt the password. Your sysout will not availble to everyone except for the system's programmers.
Hope this helps...
cheers

Hi,
I am very new to perl. I have to write a perl program to ftp a repot from unix machine to other machine and I need to run the JCL, there. I think this requirement is exctly similar to the one you posted long back.
Please send me some sample script for this requirement. |

bvsbabu,
I am not an expert in PERL , but here is a sample script to FTP
| Code: |
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $ftp="/usr/bin/ftp";
my $tmp='filename.txt';
my $afile="somefile.pl";
my $host = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
my $dir = "sampledir";
open(FTP, "| $ftp -n $host >$tmp");
print FTP "user username\n";
print FTP "-password\n";
print FTP "ls\n";
print FTP "cd $dir\n";
print FTP "get $afile\n";
print FTP "binary\n";
print FTP "quit\n";
close(FTP); #re-use the fileHandle
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers
Kolusu
