We tried invoking Unix Shell script using rexec command. Below is the parameters that we used in a sample JCL.
rexec -l {UserID} -p {Password} -s {Port number} UserID@Hostname

We receive the following error message, can anyone help it out?

rexecd: 0826-604 The login is not correct.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

NOT a JCL problem I think but maybe a rexec problem? Whatever rexec is. Are you sure you have the parms specified correctly, the correct port correct hostname etc. I presume 0826-604 is a message number? Have you looked it up?

Nic,
Parameters are correct.
No much information about the error message number.

Kolusu,
same link iam looking into, thanks a lot.

Should i do anything in the UNIX(to) server to listen this call ?

I've looked at that link and also at the equivalent page for rexecd
According to the rexec page -s is not an option
according to the rexecd page the port is 512

Is this any help or a clue?

Hi,

In order to connect/transfer to a secure Unix server from Mainframe, try the BPXBATCH utility.

Check http://www.duemig.de/Dokumente/BPXBatch.pdf for more info

we tried using REXEC to connect UNIX and found it is not secured. Then changed the scope to use SSH or BPXBATCH.
Is it possible to connect remote UNIX box Using BPXBATCH ?
Any sample code to invoke SSH in jcl (our unix box is remote) ?

Thanks Para for the information provided.

Regards
Jai
