Remote Job Execution

You can submit a JCL job to a remote enterprise server, that is, a server running on another machine in your local network. The JCL must be held locally, on your machine.

The IDE uses the MFCC (Micro Focus Common Client) infrastructure to determine which enterprise servers to interact with. It's controlled by a configuration file which by default is mf-client.dat, located in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Studio Enterprise Edition x.x\base\bin . You can create your own configuration file of any name or location, but you must identify it using the MFC_CONFIG environment variable.

Before you can submit jobs to a remote enterprise server, you need to add an entry to this file that specifies the remote machine's URL and the port number for the Directory Server. Once you have done this, all the enterprise servers on the remote machine that have a service with the service class "MJ ES" become available in the dropdown list of enterprise servers in the Enterprise Server group on the Project Properties page. You can now associate the project with the remote server, and submit JCL to the remote machine by right-clicking the JCL file in the project view and clicking Submit.

You see the progress of the job in the Application Output window. After the job has finished, you can view the catalog and the spool queues in the normal way.

Note: The Start Server and Stop Server options on the Tools > Enterprise Server menu do not work with the remote server, although they are enabled. You must start and stop the remote server using ES Admin.
