HP-UX SNAplus2 Upgrade Guide (June 2003)

Changes in SNAplus2 Functions in R6.0 and later releases
RJE Workstations and RJE FCBs
Chapter 464
Before running a workstation, set up the same combination of
environment variables that were used with this workstation in
Release 4. When you start the workstation, SNAplus2 reads the
environment variables, and writes out a define_minor_options record
to the style file based on these options.
For subsequent runs of the workstation, SNAplus2 uses the minor
options defined in the workstation style file; the RJE environment
variables are ignored, and SNAplus2 does not make any modifications to
the style file.
PDIR Passthrough for Output Devices
The “PDIR passthrough” option on RJE output devices was enhanced in
Release 6 to include additional parameters (the REQID parameter and
the five DSNAME parameters) that the host may send in PDIRs. For
more information about these parameters, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2
RJE Users Guide.
If PDIR passthrough is specified when output is sent to a program,
SNAplus2 passes the DSNAME parameters to the program; if PDIR
passthrough is specified when output is sent to a file or directory,
SNAplus2 writes the DSNAME parameters and the REQID parameter
to the PDIR file. If you are migrating output programs or tools that parse
PDIR files, you should check that they continue to operate correctly with
the additional parameters.
RJE Spool Commands
In SNAplus, the RJE spool commands for submitting, listing, and
canceling jobs could be used whether or not the SNAplus software was
started. Beginning in Release 6, the SNAplus2 software must be started
before using these commands.
RJE Job Logging
If your SNAplus implementation provided the facility for writing
messages to the audit log file to track the progress of RJE jobs, note the
following:
• The format of log files has been changed, so any tools used to parse
the log files for RJE job log messages requires modification to use the
new format.
