TPS Systems has announced TPS/JES
Services, which is aimed at companies looking
to consolidate older communications
infrastructure to take advantage of newer multiprotocol
communication technologies.
TPS/JES Services comprises two components
– TPS/JES Services Server and TPS/RJS
(Remote JES Services) Client. The Server
operates as a z/OS component executing in the
background to make JES2 and JES3 available
to a TCP/IP-based client. TPS/RJS allows a
multitude of simultaneous client connections,
while maintaining only a single instance of the
Server. The Server module interfaces with the
JES system utilizing the z/OS SSI-based SAPI
interface to become an external writer with the
ability to act as a ‘hot writer’; automatically
processing JES SYSOUT output as it becomes
available. The TCP/IP client/server connection
protocol used between the TPS/JES Services
Server and the TPS/RJS Client include features
that prevent unauthorized access, as well as
compression and optional SSL encryption
capability.
