SNA NRJE Node Managers Guide (30292-90007)

Preface

This manual describes Hewlett-Packard Company’s Systems Network

Architecture Network Remote Job Entry (SNA NRJE) product for both

the MPE V (NRJE/V) and MPE XL (NRJE/XL) operating systems.

Systems Network Architecture (SNA) is a comprehensive speciﬁcation

for distributed data processing networks, developed by IBM.

NOTE

In this manual, the term NRJE is used when the information being

given is true for both NRJE/V and NRJE/XL. The terms NRJE/V and

NRJE/XL are used when a distinction between the two subsystems is

necessary.

NRJE allows HP 3000 users to submit batch jobs to a remote host

system for processing. The host system uses one of the supported job

entry subsystems in an SNA environment. You can submit a job and

receive output by using either SNA NRJE commands or a set of

procedures called intrinsics. If the data communications line is busy,

your job is spooled and is automatically processed when the line

becomes free. The IBM host sends output back to the remote SNA

NRJE site for printing and storing on disk. SNA NRJE conforms to the

protocols deﬁned for a Physical Unit Type 2 (PU.T2), Logical Unit Type

1 (LU.T1) node in an SNA network.

This manual describes the steps for conﬁguring SNA NRJE on the

HP 3000 system.

Audience

This manual addresses the HP node manager responsible for planning,

conﬁguring, and monitoring the operation of an HP 3000 SNA data

communications subsystem. A node manager also handles data

communications activities associated with the link between SNA NRJE

and the host. The node manager should have knowledge of the MPE

operating system, be familiar with how the host system operates, and

have HP 3000 node manager (NM) and network administrator (NA)

capabilities.
