HEWLETT-PACKARD Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP SNA Remote Job Entry SPD 26.85.10 for OpenVMS, Version 1.8 This SPD describes HP SNA Remote Job Entry for OpenVMS, which is avail- able for the OpenVMS I64, OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX platforms. All information applies to all platforms unless otherwise indicated. DESCRIPTION HP SNA Remote Job Entry for OpenVMS (RJE) is a layered software prod- uct that allows suitably configured OpenVMS systems within a DECnet or TCP/IP network to function as an SNA/RJE workstation or group of workstations 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 environment is via one of the following SNA server or gateway prod- ucts: TCP/IP or DECnet Connections o HP SNA Peer Server o HP SNA Domain Gateway o HP SNA Access Server for Windows NT® o HP SNA Server for OpenVMS Alpha, a layered product that supports local access as well as TCP/IP and DECnet clients DECnet-Only Connections o HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport o HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport December 2006 HP SNA Remote Job Entry SPD 26.85.10 for OpenVMS, Version 1.8 o 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 periodic update of databases and other applications. Easily modified translation tables resident in ei- ther 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: o Each workstation includes a console interface that an operator can use to communicate with the Job Entry System in the IBM host. o RJE can support record sizes of up to 254 characters. o RJE supports data compression on reader streams and data decompres- sion on printer and punch streams. o ASCII to EBCDIC translation is transparent to the user but can be inhibited with the /NOTRANSLATE qualifier on the ASSIGN command. Sending Jobs to the IBM Host Workstation users submit jobs to OpenVMS queues. The workstation trans- mits the queued jobs to the IBM host over the input streams associ- ated with a queue. This queuing technique makes it possible for many RJE users to sub- mit jobs at the same time and to do so even if the workstation is in- active. When the operator sets the workstation on, the workstation trans- mits all the jobs in its queues. For each submitted job, the user spec- ifies one or more files containing JCL (Job Control Language) state- ments, data, or programs. 2 HP SNA Remote Job Entry SPD 26.85.10 for OpenVMS, Version 1.8 Receiving Job Output The IBM host returns job output to a workstation over various output streams. Each IBM output stream will have an OpenVMS directory assigned to it. As output from jobs is received on an output stream, it is as- signed a file name identical to the name given to the job as it is ex- ecuted in the IBM system (normally names are specified by user-supplied JCL). This mechanism allows easy identification of a particular job when several users share the same job stream. In the SNA gateway en- vironment, job output may be directed to a system on the network other than the initiating system. Managing the Workstation OpenVMS users with the required privilege can issue a set of restricted commands to manage the workstation. These commands allow the user to initialize and control the workstation, and to communicate interac- tively with the IBM batch subsystem. The following functions are avail- able: o Set the workstation ON and OFF o Stop the transmission of a job o Collect logging information in a disk file o Display status o Obtain online help information Specifying a Server Users of HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport or HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport have the option of running the RJE Server on the SNA gateway (the default) or on the the OpenVMS node. By running the RJE Server on the OpenVMS node, you can utilize idle OpenVMS resources, thus reducing the SNA gateway's resource usage and increasing the throughput. 3 HP SNA Remote Job Entry SPD 26.85.10 for OpenVMS, Version 1.8 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 Ac- cess Server for Windows NT, and HP SNA Domain Gateway-have internal RJE Servers and must therefore run the RJE Server on the OpenVMS node. INSTALLATION Only experienced customers should attempt installation of this prod- uct. Installation services from HP are recommended for all other cus- tomers. These services provide for installation of the software prod- uct by an experienced software specialist. PREREQUISITE SUPPORT For HP SNA 3270 Remote Job Entry for OpenVMS to be supported by HP, the customer must have a HP supported SNA server or gateway config- uration and a valid support agreement for the selected gateway and Re- mote Job Entry for OpenVMS product.
