Products

• XCOM Data Transport

• XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

SENDJOBS may be sent to or from any XCOM partner. The job must be in a valid format to be submitted on the partner. Jobs may only be sent. There is no RECEIVE JOB. The contents of TESTJOB must be a job all ready to run on the target system. If it is being sent to another z/OS system, it will be submitted to the internal reader "as is". You will not find a copy of the job on the target system. If being sent to a LINUX or Unix system, you may need to set up the environment inside the job.  A SENDJOB may be sent from other platforms also.
