Problem:

What needs to be setup in Enterprise Server to enable Remote Job Step Execution [RJSE] to work ?

Resolution:

To setup RJSE to work correctly :-

1. Create mfclient.ini file by running sccfx from a Net Express command line.

2. Select a Node that has already been added and press Edit.

3. Select the "Directly connect to the mainframe" option and make sure the Name or IP address is correct and the correct port number is entered.

4. Press the "Credentials" button and on the popup window enter the Userid and Password for the Mainframe ID to be used, making sure Expires is set to Never and tick the "Use to authenticate against all resources" and the "Save to INI file" checkboxes and press OK.

This will create the MFACLIENT.INI file in the c:\\users\\USERNAME\\appdata\\roaming\\micro focus\\ folder.

5. Move this file to a folder of your choice, if desired.

6. Edit the Configuration Information details for the region that is going to be running the JCL in.

7. Set MFACLIENTINI=folder where mfaclient.ini has been created as in this example :-

[ES-Environment]

MF_RCCF=KEEPJOB

MFASERV=ON

MFACLIENTINI=C:\\temp\\mfaclient.ini

Make sure MF_RCCF and MFASERV are set as above.

The region must be started from the command line using the casstart command otherwise the mfaclient.ini file will not be read.

Now when the JCL is submitted, MFDAEMON is started automatically and the credentials will be picked up from the folder specified in the MFACLIENTINI setting.
