TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# SUBJCL (Submit JCL) Interface

In many cases, sending a file to or receiving data from a partner is only the first step in the overall picture. The data must be processed by the application.

For a job initiated locally, it is simple to perform some processing after a file transfer is completed. However, when a remote system sends a file, it can be difficult to process the data. Many systems use user exits or job schedulers to process the received data. With the Platform Server SUBJCL facility, you can customize jobs to be submitted to the JES internal reader when a file transfer is completed.

You can customize a set of parameters that are compared against a file transfer request that are completed either successfully or unsuccessfully. When a match is found, the Platform Server submits a job to the internal reader to execute.

Note: SUBJCL processing is only performed when a transfer is purged from the active queue. If a transfer is in retry state, SUBJCL processing is not performed.

For a successful file transfer request, when a file is received, the Platform Server can submit a job to process the data. When a file is sent to a remote system, the Platform Server can submit a job to archive or delete the dataset.

For an unsuccessful file transfer request, you might want to notify a user or a system that a request failed, update an error log, or notify an operator that a transfer failed. You can perform anything as you want in the job that is submitted.
