JES2 processing

In a JES2 multi-access spool (MAS) complex, a z/OS UNIX application might experience the following situation:

The system can convert the job on one system and interpret it on another. If all systems do not have z/OS UNIX, the job processing can begin on a system with z/OS UNIX installed and started, but continue on a system without z/OS UNIX installed.

If a job requires z/OS UNIX or a file system, use a JES2 /*JOBPARM statement with a SYSAFF keyword to direct the job to the correct system.

If you need to bring down JES2, there might still be a number of initiators that are provided by WLM for use on fork and spawn. These initiators time out after 30 minutes on their own. To terminate the initiators, you can issue the following operator command:

F BPXOINIT,SHUTDOWN=FORKINIT

For more information, see Partial shutdowns for JES2 maintenance.
