Generation
Included with every Connect/MP component: MCP API access for JES, FILE, and 3270 — for your own scripts and agents — plus the chat-only Web Workspace. Connect/AI unlocks agentic execution: workspace tool use and native batch inference invoked from JCL.
Turn Mainframe JES Output into Real-Time Automation, Integration, and AI-Driven Actions.
Extend JES to Modern Workflows
When qualifying JES output is detected, the corresponding Connect/JES task automatically triggers the associated Connect/MP action — enabling automated processing, transformation, and delivery of JES output without modifying existing batch jobs.
This architecture allows organizations to extend traditional JES processing into modern automation workflows while preserving existing investments in z/OS batch.
Downstream Automation Workflows
The output of the Connect/JES-initiated Connect/MP component can take several forms — producing a z/OS or USS file, FTP’d or emailed, or piped into a distributed application or subsequent Connect/MP component process, all under the control of a single z/OS job.
High-Performance, AI-Ready Access Powered by Connect/Web New
Connect/JES delivers JES access without the JVM overhead of z/OSMF — purpose-built for low-latency agentic pipelines — enabling Connect/AI, orchestration platforms, and DevOps toolchains to submit jobs, monitor status, and retrieve output without bespoke integration work — writes remain gated by your own approval controls.

JES Writer
ACTION Integration
Invoke ZIP, MAIL, PDF, AI — any Connect/MP action
Can invoke any Connect/MP ACTION from JES output, including ZIP, MAIL, PDF, and AI, enabling automated pipelines triggered directly by JES spool activity.
Continuous or One-Time Processing
One-time run or persistent monitoring mode
Can be run as a one-time process or remain awake to process selected reports as they are created — continuing until stopped or z/OS is shutdown.
Flexible Selection Criteria
Select by JOBNAME, JOBID, CLASS, FORM, DESTINATION
Flexible selection criteria let you target specific JES output using JOBNAME, JOBID, CLASS, FORM, and DESTINATION — ensuring only the right reports are processed.
Disposition Control
KEEP or DELETE spool output after processing
DISPOSITION control determines whether spool output is retained (KEEP) or removed (DELETE) after processing, giving you full control over JES resource management.
Flexible Output Methods
Route to Sequential, PDS, ZFS, EMAIL, FTP, PIPE
Route processed JES output to multiple destinations: Sequential datasets, PDS, ZFS, EMAIL, FTP, or piped into file transfer and CLI commands — enabling seamless integration with any downstream system.
AI-Ready JES Connector Powered by Connect/Web
Native-Speed JES Access — No JVM Overhead
Every request reflects live JES status, gated by the calling user's SAF authority
Every request queries JES directly, in real time — nothing cached, nothing stale. Access is controlled entirely by the calling user's existing SAF authority. Delivered via Connect/Web.
