Define Batch Initiators and Printers

JCL execution requires the following types of Service Execution Processes (SEPs):

• Batch initiator (often abbreviated to simply "initiator") — for running JCL jobs
• Batch printer SEP (often abbreviated to simply "printer") — for sending the output from a JCL job to a printer

You can define initiators and printers to start up automatically whenever the Enterprise Server is started, and you can also create ones that last only for the current session.

To define an initiator to start automatically:

1. On the home page of Enterprise Server Administration, click Edit next to JCLDEMO.
2. Make sure the Server and Properties tabs are selected, and click MSS > JES.
3. Define a batch initiator as follows:
   1. Click Initiators > Add.
   2. Enter values in the fields as shown in the following table:

      Field	Value	Comment
      Name	INITB	Not case sensitive — gets folded to upper case
      Class	B	Not case sensitive — gets folded to upper case
      Description	Initiator for class B job

   3. Click Add.
4. Click Home on the Enterprise Server Administration.
