SNA NRJE Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Output Routing Problems

Information to help you resolve problems you might have with output

returning from the host and being routed to an unexpected destination

is given below.

Common Routing Problem Causes

When troubleshooting any output routing problems, always double

check these things:

• The value speciﬁed for Host Standard Print Form Name or Host

Standard Punch Form Name in the NRJE Conﬁguration:

Workstation Data Page 2 screen must match the eight-byte ﬁeld

Standard form name in the host. Obtain the host Standard form

name from the host generation.

• For JES2 and JES3, the “Job Received” message must be in a format

that can be parsed by NRJE. If the “Job Received” message is

non-standard, you must install an exit procedure to parse this

message. If you do not want parsing to occur, you must disable the

check for “Job Received” messages by specifying N in the Job

Management ﬁeld of the NRJE Conﬁguration: Workstation Data

screen. See the SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual for

information on the internal parsing algorithms used by SNA NRJE.

Information to develop your own parsing procedures for user exits

available with NRJE can also be found in that manual.

• The SOLICITED JCW might be set.

• The JES2 banner might be turned off.

Output Routing Problem Symptoms

A list of symptoms of routing problems you might encounter, and

possible solutions to those problems, is given below.

• NRJE rejects job output from the host.

Verify that the host sends a PDIR before the output. NRJE requires

that the host send an FMH2 PDIR after the FMH1 BDS (Begin

Destination Selection) command before sending job output. Incorrect

host conﬁguration or problems in host user exit procedures may

cause the PDIR not to be sent.

• PRINT= and PUNCH= designations in the SUBMIT command do

not work.

Output always goes to the default destination. (This feature applies

to JES2 and JES3 only. It is not supported with VSE/POWER.)
