jdenet_k Operation

jdenet_k processes are referred to as kernel processes. They do the actual work on the enterprise server. When a jdenet_k process starts, it can be any type of kernel process. The jdenet_n process instructs each kernel process to be of a certain type.

The jdenet_k process that becomes a CallObject kernel has the job of calling business function logic on the server. Business function logic is written in C code and compiled into UNIX-shared libraries. The shared libraries are loaded onto the jdenet_k processes and then called directly through a C function call.

The jdenet_k process that becomes a batch process kernel waits for requests to run batch processes from the client. These batch processes are then placed in the Job Control Status Master table (F986110). The processes are then picked up by the queue kernel processes that launch runbatch processes, as required.

Many other types of jdenet_k processes exist. Review the JDE.INI file for a complete list.
