Customer Testimonies
“THANK YOU! If there were a Vendor of the year award it would go to MacKinney! I wish all the Vendors carried the same passion for their jobs and in fact passion for finding the issue even when it’s not yours! You have truly displayed commitment on a new level.”
~ Belinda Tinsley, Systems Programmer, Thomas & Betts Corporation
"We enjoy our JQP and JRB products a lot. We use the JRB product extensively. Users review their reports online or get copies of them via email. They also print parts of the reports at their local printers. Our productions jobs are set up to send emails at the end of the job with the max CC of the job. This helps everyone track our daily business processes and react accordingly. Users like the web piece of the online JRB report feature. JQP lets us print directly to printers throughout the building from the mainframe and print IP to our Solimar and IBM printers. Thanks and keep up the good work."
~ Johny Mercer, Systems Programmer Sr., Idaho Department of Labor
"JQP and JRB are a snap to install, configure and tailor to business requirements. The support staff provides a level of customer service that should be the envy of the industry. Price, performance and customer support make MacKinney Systems products attractive. The software works!"
~ Richard C. Ladd, Department of Information Technology, Onondaga County
"This is working like a charm! Thanks for the very quick turnaround. Not something I usually get from a vendor!"
~ Frank Swarbrick, Applications Architect - Mainframe Applications Development , FirstBank Data Corporation - Lakewood, CO
"JES Report Broker has been a godsend to our shop. When we began testing JRB in April 2004, we needed a replacement for a VSE product. In late December 2003 we switched operating systems from VSE to OS/390. Being able to use JRB to split out reports, etc. has been an efficient tool for us."
~ Richard W. Kennedy, Operations Info. Tech. Dept., Caddo Public Schools
How JRB works
JES Report Broker is an entirely z/OS product. It is a started task that monitors the JES queues for output that matches user-specified criteria. No changes to JCL or procedures are required. When it finds matching output it delivers it in one of the following ways:
- WEB Archival - Into JRB's z/OS structure.
- FTP – To any platform. Can create new directories. Customer has control over the filename created.
- EMAIL – Document can be attached or placed as the body of the Email.
- JES – Can create new output based upon the original to be placed on JES output queue.
- SEQ – Delivery into traditional z/OS datasets (sequential, GDG).
JRB includes a secure, internal web-server that can be used to view, print or download the archived documents. There is no need for an external web server.
JRB monitors the JES queues and automatically delivers reports as they appear on the queues.
