'  ' (Blank). ICE automatically determines whether IOA is being installed at a JES2 or JES3 site. Default.

Insert a value for this parameter only if your JES subsystem name is not JES2 or JES3.

Note: If you have installed, or intend to install, Control‑O, and you plan to start Control‑O during IPL, you must specify a value for the JESTYPE parameter. Do not leave it blank.

Valid values are:

  • nnn, where nnn is a 3-digit number
  • '  ' (Blank). Default.

Insert a value for this parameter only if the JES version at the site is different than the MVS version.

JESCHAR

This parameter is used by all INCONTROL products as the JES command character when issuing JES commands.

  • Mandatory
  • Default: $

Note: Most characters specified for this parameter are specified as is (for example, JESCHAR=$). However, certain characters must be entered in a special format. To specify /, =, or & as the value for the JESCHAR parameter, specify ‘/’, ‘=’, or ‘&&’, respectively.

Under JES2, this parameter is also used:

  • by all INCONTROL products, when issuing MVS commands to another system ($NnMm or $Mm commands)
  • by the Control‑M Event Manager (CMEM) facility, to identify messages issued by the primary JES
  • by Control‑O, to identify messages for CMEM processing
  • by messages, for tracking NJE communication
  • for releasing jobs under CMEM control
  • under Control‑M, for starting STCs or sending Shout messages to remote machines or nodes.

Valid values are:

  • '  ' (Blank) – For running the Control‑M, Control‑D or Control‑O monitor, or any combination of these, on the global processor. Default.
