(E)JES/2(tm) for JES2 via SDSF, a Superior Approach to JES2 
Spool Management

(E)JES/2 brings the power of SDSF to your workstation! 

Through the creative efforts of Phoenix Software's (E)JES/2 
development team, with development assistance from IBM, you 
now have the opportunity to manage the JES2 spool directly 
from your workstation. 

(E)JES/2 fully exploits the SDSF (System Display and Search 
Facility) spool management solution and harnesses the 
multitasking capabilities of today's OS/390 servers and 
multitasking workstations. This approach provides users the 
ability to execute multiple simultaneous transactions from a 
single workstation.

Some important features of (E)JES/2 for JES2 via SDSF: 

Users can access any number of OS/390 systems 
simultaneously. Users can perform similar concurrent 
functions or multiple functions on S/390 computers 
throughout their entire enterprise. 
The traditional communications requirement of TSO is removed 
by means of a proprietary design that provides users the 
opportunity to enjoy true full-duplex, multiple-asynchronous 
communications with the server.

(E)JES/2 is Workplace Shell compliant and provides heavy use 
of icon views, and drag-and-drop and point-and-shoot 
interfaces. This implementation provides existing 
workstation users a software solution requiring very little 
new user training and no significant learning curve.   
(E)JES seamlessly integrates the functions of IBM's ISPF 
Client/Server product to provide a complete workstation 
development environment. All of the power of ISPF is 
available without the traditional need for a TSO address 
space. 


(E)JES/2 displays your SDSF-JES2 data via Object folders and 
Browser windows. Object folders contain tabular data and may 
be custom-tailored by users with respect to font and color 
customization, column arrangement, sorting, and filtering. 
Using cascading, pop-up menus, resources represented by 
Object folder views are easily accessed or modified by 
authorized users with the click of a mouse. The following 
are supported through object folders: 

Activity, Job Status, Output Queue, Download, Job Submit, 
Printers, Hold Queue, Lines, Punches, Initiators, MAS, 	
Readers, Input Queue, Nodes, Spool Offload

Browser windows are used to display line-oriented 
information such as SYSIN or SYSOUT data sets, console 
messages, and log information. Browser windows utilize the 
"Multiple Document Interface" paradigm to organize multiple 
related windows under a common frame. Browser windows may be 
custom tailored by users with respect to font and color 
customization, filtering, MDI positioning, and more. The 
following are viewed through Browser windows: 

Job SYSIN/SYSOUT, TSO Messages, Operations Log, User Log 
			

(E)JES/2 may be purchased or leased. Phoenix Software offers 
a thirty-day free evaluation. Please contact us by e-mail, 
or via the phone or fax number listed below for details.

(E)JES/2 is presently available for OS/2 workstations. A 
version for Windows 98 and Windows NT will be available by 
the end of the year

If you run JES3, not JES2, see our web page about (E)JES/2 
for JES3.
