Systems ManagementA Superior Approach to JES Spool Management The (E)JES workstation. component fully exploits the (E)JES spool management solution and harnesses the multitasking capabilities of today's z/OS servers and multitasking workstations. This approach provides users with the ability to execute multiple simultaneous transactions from a single workstation.
MCG Software sells and supports (E)JES Workstation in all Nordic countries including Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Some important features of the (E)JES workstation component: - Users can access single or multiple z/OS servers (or sysplexes) simultaneously.
- Users can perform similar concurrent functions or multiple functions on computers running JES2 and JES3 throughout their entire enterprise.
- System integrity is assured via your existing (E)JES security definitions.
- The traditional communications requirement of TSO is removed by means of a proprietary design that provides users the opportunity to enjoy true full-duplex, multiple-asynchronous communications with the server.
- The (E)JES workstation component is a Windows program that provides icon, tabular, and browser views of data using standard menus, dialogs, and windows, as well as a complete set of keyboard shortcuts. This implementation provides existing workstation users a software solution requiring very little new user training and no significant learning curve.
- (E)JES seamlessly integrates the functions of IBM's ISPF Client/Server product to provide a complete workstation development environment. All of the power of ISPF is available without the traditional need for a TSO address space.
(E)JES displays your columnar JES data in tabular windows. Users can custom-tailor these windows with respect to font, font color, and column arrangement. Tabular windows support scrolling, overtyping, custom sorting, filtering, and searching. Authorized users can access and modify JES resources displayed in these windows with the click of a mouse or a few keystrokes.

Browser windows display line-oriented information such as SYSIN or SYSOUT data sets, console messages, and log information. Some browser windows use the "Multiple Document Interface" (MDI) paradigm to organize multiple related windows under a common frame. Users can customize browser windows with respect to font, font color, filtering, MDI positioning, and more.
