Hi. I just started to work on a os390 running vm, which will soon be upgraded to zOS. I don't even know if I got that terminology right.

The question I had is that a user was wondering if it was possible for him to get an e-mail after his job has been done running. The e-mail would contain various stats on the job, and how it ran. The e-mail would be extremely useful if the job did not run.

Is there a tool, or an option out there that can be turned on? Does this even exsist?

vardig1,

You can add a step at the end of the job to send an email. Let this step execute only when the job fails. COND=EVEN tells MVS to execute this job step EVEN IF a prior step in the same job abends, unless the job is canceled by the MVS operator.

Check this link for sending emails.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

vardig1, personally, I know nothing about VM. I presume it has TCP/IP and that you can create a program with TCP/IP sockets to generate the SMTP data?
