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.
* Data compression and character code translation are performed (or
disabled if desired).
* Multiple console users can be allowed, or access can be restricted to
those with node manager (NM) capability.
* User exits are available to enable manipulation of data.
