Job Output
Unsolicited Output
Unsolicited Output
Unsolicited output is defined as data sets received from a host or
another remote that are not recognized by SNA NRJE as coming from
jobs that were submitted on your workstation.
Causes of Unsolicited Output
Output can be considered unsolicited because of any of these
circumstances:
• The output was generated by a user on the host or another remote,
not by a job submitted on the workstation.
• NRJE was not able to interpret the print or punch banners because
they were not standard, the standard format changed, or the host
did not send banners with the output.
• NRJE was not able to read the host “Job Received” message because
the message was not standard, the standard format changed, or the
host does not send “Job Received” messages upon receipt of jobs.
(VSE/POWER does not send “Job Received” messages.)
• You have suppressed printing or punching of banners. This took
place in your JCL, or by means of a host console command, or the
host may not be configured to send banners.
• There was a significant lag between the time the host received a job
and the time the host returned output to NRJE. During this lag the
contents of the Job Log, including output routing information for
your job, were purged by the NRJE manager with the NRJE PURGE
command.
Controlling Unsolicited Output
If banners are off, turn them on (for example, JES2 $T PR1,S=Y). If the
host is waiting to transmit output to NRJE and you know that the
output will be treated as unsolicited, you still can direct it to a specific
destination by any of these methods:
• Output management
Make sure the Lookup Table file name is configured for your
workstation and that
formids that correspond to entries in the
Lookup Table are specified in your JCL.
• SPOOK or MPE spooler
Raise the Outfence value for the MPE spooler so that it is above the
priority value of your output data sets (defer the output).
