SNA NRJE Network Remote Job Entry

This paragraph describes System Network Architecture
Network Remote Job Entry (SNA NRJE) for both the
MPE V (SNA NRJE/V) and MPE/iX (SNA NRJE/iX)
operating systems.  The term SNA NRJE is used to refer
to both SNA NRJE/V and SNA NRJE/iX.  The terms SNA
NRJE/V and SNA NRJE/iX are used when a distinction is
necessary. 

SNA NRJE/V on the HP 3000 Series 37-70 or SNA
NRJE/iX on the HP 3000 Series 900 provides enhanced
batch data communications between the HP 3000 and an
IBM Systems/370-compatible mainframe in a System
Network Architecture (SNA) environment.  SNA NRJE
emulates the major features of an IBM 8100 DPPX/RJE
workstation using an SNA Physical Unit Type 2 (PU 2),
Logical Unit Type 1 (LU 1) device. 

HP SNA Services (30292B):

- SNA NRJE Network Remote Job Entry
- SNA IMF/iX Interactive Mainframe Facility
- LU 6.2 Application Programming Interface
- SNA Distributed Host Command Facility/iX

Features 

SNA NRJE is able is able to
communicate with JES2, JES3, and
VSE/POWER host job entry subsystems.

Automatically route job output based
on destinations selected by the user at
the time of job submittal - “Job
Management”

Automatically route output based on
user-selected IBM host forms - “Output
Management”

Process batch jobs originated by a user
on an IBM Mainframe - “Reverse NRJE”

Provide Native Languages Support - for
data only.  NLS 16-bit character
mapping; interactive and programmatic
access; and data integrity are not
supported for languages such as
Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese,
and Traditional Chinese.

Host output can be sent to any
supported output device on an HP
3000 such as disk files, tape files,
printers, or user-written programs.  

Multiple HP 3000 users can
concurrently access the host for batch
processing.

Jobs are submitted into the
transmission queue independent of the
line status.

Users can submit jobs and receive
output without operator intervention.

Other HP 3000 applications run
concurrently with SNA NRJE.

SNA NRJE can share an SNA link with
other HP SNA service products.

Customizable error and help message
facilities are provided.

Host console commands can be sent
and host console data can be received.

Data compression and character code
translation are configurable.

SNA NRJE and SNA Link support
communications at up to 56 KB/s on
MPE V and 16 MB/s on MPE/iX.

SNA NRJE can take advantage of
SNA/SDLC Link’s Auto-dial capability.
