We have upgraded to 7.7 but they eliminated the project environment which had the gui check box and button to run the EDA fex remotely in our MVS environment.

What is the equivalent of this in code?

Any help

I guess the code would be:

REMOTE DEST
REMOTE USER
REMOTE PASSWORD

REMOTE EX {fex}

or

-REMOTE BEGIN
{code}
-REMOTE END

I have a couple of things which submit a MVS batch job from the WINDOWS NT WebFocus using FTP. Look at file type of "JES". The RACF authority must be properly configured.

Because of "security policy" Direct Connect transfers the job output back to the server. The requester receives an e-mail from the MVS with a link.

This takes a bit of doing to get working, but the entire mainframe becomes a "reporting server".

Thanks WAZ the second solution worked.

I am curious if the REMOTE BEGIN/REMOTE END will only work with HTML output? We have a situation where we have to use it for other output types PDF, EXL etc., Any ideas?

What you have to understand about REMOTE BEGIN/END or EX is that the current session becomes the client and the remote connection become the server.

Therefore any output that is PCHOLDed will return to the client (current session).

Once the output is there, it can be "handled".

I recently posted an example of returning PDF from a REMOTE connection to solve a performance issue.

Thank you! I will try this and see.

 
-REMOTE BEGIN 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR SALES
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-REMOTE END

quote:

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

That gets it to the local server, but then what?

More likely you need something like:

-REMOTE BEGIN 
  TABLE FILE CAR
    PRINT CAR SALES
    ON TABLE PCHOLD 
  END
-REMOTE END
TABLE FILE HOLD
  PRINT *
  ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
