Client under TSO/E example JCLRunning an IBM z/OS Stand-Alone NetEx/eFT ServerThe Standalone Server can be used to allow a remote host access to z/OS without establishing a TSO/E logonsession. The Standalone Server can be used in place of the Multiplex Server or can execute concurrently withthe Multiplex Server, but will only remain active for one remote user session. When the remote user disconnectsfrom the Standalone Server, the Standalone Server will terminate. It is typically used for large filetransfers, tape file transfers, or for data dependent batch jobs.For example, an application may exist on a DEC VAX/VMS system that processes a divisions sales data eachnight. At some point after midnight, the VAX application needs to send a file to the corporate accounts payablesystem on the z/OS host. The z/OS job scheduling package submits a two step job at midnight, the firststep being a Standalone Server, and the second step being an accounts payable data base update. TheStandalone Server step waits until the VAX application executes VAX/VMS NetEx/eFT and connects to thez/OS system with the correct -SERVICE name. After the file transfer completes successfully and the VAXsystem disconnects, the Standalone Server step ends with a condition code of zero. The next job step nowexecutes to update the accounts payable data base using the transferred file.If the z/OS accounts payable application could only be run before 3:00 A.M., the -TIMEOUT qualifier couldbe set to terminate the Standalone Server automatically. If the Standalone Server time limit expires or an erroris detected during file transfer, a nonzero condition code is set causing the z/OS job scheduling package tobe notified and the accounts payable update to be skipped. The VAX application would have to save the datauntil the next night or the operations staff could reschedule the VAX and z/OS applications according to theirrestart procedures.There are two methods to execute the Standalone Server in batch:• Running the Standalone Server as an z/OS program does not interface with ACF/VTAM or TSO/Eallowing remote users to connect to IBM/z/OS NetEx/eFT without ACF/VTAM or TSO/E being active,however, remote command execution is not supported.• Running the Standalone Server in batch under control of TSO/E does not interface with ACF/VTAMallowing remote users to connect to IBM/z/OS NetEx/eFT without ACF/VTAM being active or usingACF/VTAM resources. Remote command execution is supported, but TSO/E command output is notreturned to the remote user.The installation may use either method as needed.Page 110 Advanced Local User’s Guide REF-eFT213-R5.4-08
