TPS added an interface to retrieve reports right out of the JES queue on a scheduled basis and send it to that server so it can be easily viewed by end users.” —Jim Murphy, senior systems programmer, Wakefern CISD company to use data-encryption products when it uses NFM’s FTP to exchange files with business partners. Additionally, NFM compresses data between socket lines, which has significantly reduced the amount of traffic on the Wakefern network. This means all of the back-and-forth data transfers are much quicker than before. Murphy notes one example of this, saying, “With our old network and NDM, it might take a half an hour to pull a five or six megabyte terminal log file from a store’s 4690. With NFM, it takes seconds.” Because of these streamlined and faster data transfers, the company no longer has to move data during business hours. Now, it can do the processing and back-end integration at night. When people come to work in the morning, all of the information they need is immediately available. Notably, if some required data-transfer function wasn’t already built into the TPS NFM, TPS would add it to enhance the capabilities of the solution and make it easier for Wakefern to meet all of its data-communications goals. For example, TPS added Job Entry System (JES) Services to the Wakefern’s NFM deployment so the company could direct its mainframe reporting to a file-imaging solution. “In t he past, we had been using batch F T P to move mainframe reporting output to a centralized server for storing the data and allowing it to be browser viewable, but it was a very M A R C H/A PRIL 2009 ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe 21
