Introducing SNA NRJE

NRJE Features

The basic features available with SNA NRJE are as follows:

• The HP 3000 can emulate the major functions of an IBM 8100

DPPX/RJE workstation.

• Multiple HP 3000 users can have simultaneous batch access to the

host.

• An HP 3000 user can submit jobs and receive output by NRJE

subsystem commands, and programmatically by NRJE intrinsics.

• A maximum data communications line speed of 64Kbps is supported.

• Concurrent communication with multiple hosts or multiple data

communication lines to a single host is allowed.

• An HP30020A/B/C Intelligent Network Processor (INP) is used as a

hardware interface, for NRJE/V; this is included with SNA Link/V.

For NRJE/XL, an HP30263A Programmable Serial Interface (PSI) is

used; this is included with SNA/SDLC Link/XL and SNA/X.25

Link/XL.

• Host output can be sent to any supported output device on an

HP 3000.

• Job management capabilities enable the user, at the time the job is

submitted, to control the ﬁnal destination of the output coming from

the host.

• Output management capabilities enable the user, through the use of

an NRJE manager developed Lookup Table, to control the ﬁnal

destination of the output coming from the host.

• Reverse NRJE can be accomplished. Output data sets from the host

can be streamed on the HP 3000 through the use of a special forms

identiﬁer speciﬁed in the job JCL.

• SNA NRJE can run concurrently on the HP 3000 with other

applications.

• SNA NRJE can operate on an HP 3000 that is part of an NS network

of HP 3000 and HP 1000 systems and is accessible from all

networked systems.

• Jobs can be submitted into the transmission queue independent of

the communication line status.

• Customizable error and help message facilities are available.

• Transmission of console commands and reception of console

messages are supported.
