In PowerExchange, a JCL stream that you can associate with a port to accommodate special situations. For example, you can use a netport job to access sources through a non-PowerExchange module such as IMS DLIBATCH, alleviate excessive wait times for tape mounts, perform GDG processing, or provide IDMS access with full user ID checking. You link a netport job to a port by setting parameters in the DBMOVER configuration file.
