The DMXMFJCL program executes Connect ETL transformations as JCL job steps in the Micro Focus Server environment. Its primary functions are:
- to provide an entrypoint that is callable from a JCL EXEC statement,
- to handle translation of DD names into file paths,
- to run a Connect ETL task or job, and
- to report Connect ETL errors, warnings, and statistics in the SYSOUT data set.
Since Connect ETL tasks are easier to create and maintain than custom programs, DMXMFJCL provides a simple alternative for replacing sort steps that are not supported by Micro Focus MFJSORT.
Use of this feature requires a Connect ETL license that includes the Mainframe Re-hosting Integration license feature.
