Reason: Search for and add information about the JCL Clone OS/400 is using.

OS/400 shares some concepts with Mainframe operating systems, such as MVS (now z/OS). One of this possibilities is to submit Batch jobs to a remote machine with the SBMNETJOBcommand.[1][2]

Preparation

For the facility to work, first configure SNA Distribution Services.

Next, decide what the receiving machine should do when there are remote jobs being submitted:

  • Reject incoming requests,
  • File into the user's network file storage[3] (default),
  • Search the network job entry table what to do.
CHGNETA JOBACN(*REJECT|*FILE|*SEARCH)

Finally, provide entries to the Network Job Entry Table, what to do with Remote Jobs coming in.
