Using JES Client

The following shows the JesClient used inside a try-with-resource statement. The constructor descriptions describe further details.

// Connect and login via simplified constructor
try (JesClient jesClient = new JesClient(hostname, port, username, password)) {

	// Submit JCL
	Job job = jesClient.submit(jclContent);

	// Wait for job to be finished
	if (!jesClient.waitFor(job)) {
		// Handle the case, a finished job cannot be found inside JES spool any longer
		throw ...;
	}

	// Gather job status details
	Job detailedJob = jesClient.getJobDetails(job);

	// Gather finished jobs outputs
	List<JobOutput> jobOutput = jesClient.get(job);

	// Delete job from JES spool
	jesClient.delete(job);

// Logout and disconnect using try-with-resource (close method)
}
