DESCRIPTION

HP SNA Remote Job Entry for OpenVMS (RJE) is a

layered software product that allows suitably conﬁgured

OpenVMS systems within a DECnet or TCP/IP network

to function as an SNA/RJE workstation or group of work-

stations that can transmit batch jobs to an IBM® host

and receive job output. The OpenVMS system user can

prepare batch jobs in ﬁles, submit the jobs, and obtain

the job output. Access to the IBM SNA host environ-

ment is via one of the following SNA server or gateway

products:

TCP/IP or DECnet Connections

• HP SNA Peer Server

• HP SNA Domain Gateway

• HP SNA Access Server for Windows NT®

• HP SNA Server for OpenVMS Alpha, a layered prod-

uct that supports local access as well as TCP/IP and

DECnet clients

DECnet-Only Connections

• HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Trans-

port

• HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport

• HP SNA Server for OpenVMS VAX, an OpenVMS

VAX layered product that supports local access as

well as remote DECnet clients

By using batch interaction with the IBM host system,

RJE can be used to submit data that can be used for pe-

riodic update of databases and other applications. Eas-

ily modiﬁed translation tables resident in either the SNA

server or gateway convert ASCII code to a subset of

IBM multinational EBCDIC for transmission to the IBM

host, and from EBCDIC to ASCII on reception of job

output.

Features

RJE offers the following features:

• Each workstation includes a console interface that an

operator can use to communicate with the Job Entry

System in the IBM host.

• RJE can support record sizes of up to 254 charac-

ters.

• RJE supports data compression on reader streams

and data decompression on printer and punch

streams.

• ASCII to EBCDIC translation is transparent to the

user but can be inhibited with the /NOTRANSLATE

qualiﬁer on the ASSIGN command.

HP SNA Remote Job Entry for OpenVMS, Version 1.8 SPD 26.85.10 Sending Jobs to the IBM Host None of the other SNA servers and gateways—HP SNA Server for OpenVMS VAX, HP SNA Server for OpenVMS Alpha, HP SNA Peer Server, HP SNA Access Server for Windows NT, and HP SNA Domain Gateway—have internal RJE Servers and must therefore run the RJE Server on the OpenVMS node. Workstation users submit jobs to OpenVMS queues.
