Netport Jobs Overview

Netport Jobs Overview

You can associate JCL streams, called
netport jobs
, to specific ports to access a source or target in certain situations.
Use a netport job in the following situations:
  • Access a source or target through a non-PowerExchange module such as IMS DLIBATCH.
    For IMS access, the IMS ODBA access method is not supported with netport jobs.
  • Avoid excessive wait times during session processing. For example, if the data is on tape, use a netport job to avoid significant delays that result from tape mounts.
  • Process a generation data group (GDG). In this case, special considerations and configuration requirements apply. See Using Netport Jobs for Generation Data Sets.
  • Access IDMS data when full user ID checking is required, as when the SECURITY statement is set to (2,
    x
    ) in the DBMOVER configuration file.
To link a netport job to a port, you must define a pair of NETPORT and LISTENER statements in the DBMOVER configuration file.
