enTools JES and File Monitor

The enTools™ JES Monitor software solution from enChoice provides the ability to send reports from the IBM System-z JES Spool to a distributed or z/Linux server(s) where it can be loaded into another Enterprise Report (ERM) or Content Management (ECM) system.

The enTools™ File Monitor is bundled with the enTools JES Monitor software, enabling not only sweeps from the mainframe JES spool but also datasets and GDG.

The JES and File Monitor enable a phased approach to ERM migration projects, with its ability to run in a parallel mode, allowing for a risk-free and rapid transition from your current ECM/ERM solution to a new ECM/ERM platform.

How JES Monitor Works:

JES Monitor is an entirely z/OS product and runs as a started task that monitors the JES queues for output that matches user-specified criteria. When JES Monitor finds matching output, it delivers the output via secured or non-secured FTP to any platform or landing zone, where it can then be loaded into the new archiving solution. It can create new directories, provides database look up capabilities and the customer has control over the filename(s) created.
