JESSTATUS can be changed by an FTP client using the SITE command to filter jobs in INPUT, ACTIVE, or OUTPUT state. The SDSF resources checked for these states are ISFCMD.DSP.INPUT.jesx, ISFCMD.DSP.ACTIVE.jesx, and ISFCMD.DSP.OUTPUT.jesx, respectively. At login time (USER command), the default value is set to ALL if READ access is allowed to all three classes. Otherwise it attempts to set it to OUTPUT, ACTIVE, and then INPUT if the appropriate READ access is allowed. If no READ access is allowed to any of the classes, JESSTATUS is set to OUTPUT but JESOWNER and JESJOBNAME cannot be changed from the default. In this way, SAF controls can be put in place to limit FTP clients to whatever status of jobs an installation requires.

At login time, JESOWNER has the value of the logged in user ID. Authority to change JESOWNER is obtained by READ access to RACF® profiles ISFCMD.FILTER.OWNER. An FTP client with READ access to ISFCMD.FILTER.OWNER is allowed to change the JESOWNER parameter using the SITE command.

At login time, JESJOBNAME has the value of the logged in user ID plus an asterisk (*). Authority to change JESJOBNAME is obtained by READ access to RACF profile ISFCMD.FILTER.PREFIX. An FTP client with READ access to ISFCMD.FILTER.PREFIX is allowed to change the JESJOBNAME parameter using the SITE command.
