2.1 Key Features and Components

Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch provides runtime environment for IBM z/OS-compatible batch jobs. It includes the following components:
  • Tuxedo Job Enqueueing Service (TuxJES), that emulates mainframe JES2/JES3 batch queues, initiators, and provides batch control functions for jobs submitted in native JCL or converted scripts.
  • Native JCL and script-based batch execution engines used by initiators to run submitted jobs with all the standard JCL functions and common utilities, with ability to execute rehosted or native COBOL and C/C++ programs, Java programs, REXX and native shell scripts, and any binaries or other OS executables.
  • Batch operations, monitoring, and management facilities that include ISPF extensions for ART Batch operation, support real-time monitoring and alerting in TSAM Plus Manager, and integrate with extensive batch operations and management functions provided by TSAM Plus plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager (including in-depth availability and performance metrics, on-demand cloud provisioning, and elastic cloud scale-out).
