Hi Everyone,
I am currently working on a mainframe enhancement project in which we would be sun setting DB2 and pulling the data from TIBCO MDM, this would be implemented through EMS queues.
We would be following the Agile model for this project so the main requirement from the build perspective is continuous integration, I am currently looking on how can i automate the process of code compilation(cobol) and running JCL's from outside the mainframe. The idea is to develop a script which can compile a cobol code and run the code from outside the mainframe environment. Not sure if this is possible. Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks |

if You run it outside the mainframe then it is not JCL! 
the requirement description does not give enough info for proper replies |

You want to be "outside" the mainframe but run on it? Or you want to run outside the mainframe?
ftp (thanks Pedro) for the first. IBM and MicroFocus have products for the second. |

OK,
look at what interfaces are available in Your scheduling product for <cross> platform scheduling/triggering
we do not know enough to provide better advice
file triggering.. ( job triggered when a filke is created on the MF seems a clumsy approach to me )
as said before
we do not know enough to provide better advice |

Get along to the library and pick up some books on magic. May as well be Harry Potter.
Even MS-DOS has batch files. |

did You reply yes to my comment about
in Your profile
and about being SSE the internal IBM acronym for Senior System[s] Engineer ?
if You are an IBM employee I would like to remind You that IBM emplyees
are not supposed ( by ethics and business conduct guidelines )
to ask for help on public forum[s]
while IBM employees are welcome to share/PROVIDE their experience
see Kolusu and Frank Jaeger ( noe retired ) for DFSORT related questions
confirmed by an IBM <person> in a proper rank to say so |

Hello,

I suspect that everyone here does this every day . . .
Very, very few have a direct-connected, wired terminal any more.
I believe you need to get a much better understanding of what you "have" and what you want to do that is not the way used by most.
You may know exactly what you are asking, but i really do not understand the question(s). |

It all depends on what your mainframe allows.
Maybe:
- Create CGI scripts that submit compile jobs.
- Run an Apache server on your mainframe.
- trigger the CGI scripts from a web page you create.
Or more likely - Submit a batch job through FTP:
- create batch compile jobs
- run TCP/IP server
- submit your batch job through FTP PUT command. |
