Job initiator: Initiator is an important part of JES (Job Entry Subsystem) that reads, interprets and executes the JCL commands. It runs in a address space and runs a batch job in the same address space. Depending on requirements, there can be multiple initiators in multiple address spaces, running multiple batch jobs parallelly.
