Documentation Map
The following documentation map is intended to be a general guideline to
the manuals containing information related to the product described in
this manual. You may need information from one or all the manuals listed
here.
Preface
Introduction
This manual describes Hewlett-Packard Company's Systems Network
Architecture Network Remote Job Entry (SNA NRJE) product for both the MPE
V (NRJE/V) and MPE XL (NRJE/XL) operating systems. Systems Network
Architecture (SNA) is a comprehensive specification for distributed data
processing networks, developed by IBM.
NOTE In this manual, the term NRJE is used when the information being
given is true for both NRJE/V and NRJE/XL. The terms NRJE/V and
NRJE/XL are used when a distinction between the two subsystems is
necessary.
NRJE allows HP 3000 users to submit batch jobs to a remote host system
for processing. The host system uses one of the supported job entry
subsystems in an SNA environment. You can submit a job and receive
output by using either SNA NRJE commands or a set of procedures called
intrinsics. If the data communications line is busy, your job is spooled
and is automatically processed when the line becomes free. The IBM host
sends output back to the remote SNA NRJE site for printing and storing on
disc. SNA NRJE conforms to the protocols defined for a Physical Unit
Type 2 (PU.T2), Logical Unit Type 1 (LU.T1) node in an SNA network.
This manual describes the steps for configuring SNA NRJE on the HP 3000
system.
Audience
This manual addresses the HP node manager responsible for planning,
configuring, and monitoring the operation of an HP 3000 SNA data
communications subsystem. A node manager also handles data
communications activities associated with the link between SNA NRJE and
the host. The node manager should have knowledge of the MPE operating
system, be familiar with how the host system operates, and have HP 3000
node manager (NM) and network administrator (NA) capabilities.
Organization
This manual is divided into the following chapters and appendix:
Chapter 1, SNA NRJE Overview, contains an overview of SNA NRJE and the
components of the network.
Chapter 2, SNA NRJE Installation Guidelines, discusses installation
procedures.
Chapter 3, SNA NRJE Configuration, explains how to use the NM
configuration manager (NMMGR) to create a hierarchical configuration file
for SNA NRJE.
Chapter 4, SNA NRJE Workstation Startup and Shutdown, describes how to
establish and terminate SNA NRJE workstation sessions.
Chapter 5, SNA NRJE Troubleshooting, gives you information about solving
problems that might occur while installing, configuring, and running SNA
NRJE.
Chapter 6, Commands, contains the MPE and NRJE commands a node manager
uses.
Appendix A, Result Codes and Messages, contains the messages you might
encounter while using SNA NRJE.

Syntax Conventions
nonitalics Words in syntax statements which are not in
italics must be entered exactly as shown.
Punctuation characters other than brackets,
braces, and ellipses must also be entered
exactly as shown. For example:
EXIT;
italics Words in syntax statements that are in italics
denote a parameter that must be replaced by a
user-supplied variable. For example:
CLOSE filename
[ ] An element inside brackets in a syntax
statement is optional. Several elements
stacked inside brackets indicates the user may
select any one or none of these elements. For
example:
[A]
[B] User may select A or B or C or none.
[C]
{ } When several elements are stacked within braces
in a syntax statement, the user must select one
of those elements. For example:
{A}
{B} User must select A or B or C.
{C}
... A horizontal ellipsis in a syntax statement
indicates that a previous element may be
repeated. For example:
[,itemname]...;
In addition, vertical and horizontal ellipses
may be used in examples to indicate that
portions of the example have been omitted.
, A shaded delimiter preceding a parameter in a
syntax statement indicates that the delimiter
must be supplied whenever (a) that parameter is
included or (b) that parameter is omitted and
any other parameter that follows is included.
For example:
itema[,itemb][,itemc]
means that the following are allowed:
itema
itema,itemb
itema,itemb,itemc
itema,,itemc
Å When necessary for clarity, the symbol Å may be
used in a syntax statement to indicate a
required blank or an exact number of blanks.
For example:
SET[modifier] Å (variable)
underlining Brackets, braces, or ellipses appearing in
syntax or format statements which must be
entered as shown will be underlined. For
example:
LET var[[subscript]] = value
Output and input/output parameters are
underlined. A notation in the description of
each parameter distinguishes input/output from
output parameters. For example:
CREATE (parm1,parm2,flags,error)
shading Shading represents user input on the terminal's
screen. For example:
NEW NAME? ALPHA
[Key Cap] A string in bold font enclosed by brackets may
be used to indicate a key on the terminal's
keyboard. For example, [Enter] indicates the
carriage return key.
[CTRL]-char Control characters are indicated by [CTRL]
followed by the character. For example,
[CTRL]-Y means the user presses the control key
and the Y key simultaneously.
