JZOS (Java Batch Launcher and Toolkit for z/OS) Overview

The JZOS Batch Launcher and Toolkit is a set of tools that helps you to develop z/OS Java
applications that run in a traditional batch environment, and that access z/OS system
services.

The JZOS Batch Launcher is a native launcher for running Java applications directly as batch
jobs or started tasks. Java applications can be fully integrated as job steps to augment
existing batch applications.

The JZOS Toolkit is a set of Java classes that give Java applications direct access to
traditional z/OS data and key z/OS system services.

The combination of the launcher, data access, added system services, and environmental
enhancements make running Java on z/OS as batch jobs easier, particularly for Java
application developers.
