Systems Network Architecture Network Remote Job Entry (SNA NRJE)
is a data communications package that provides HP-to-IBM batch communications
in a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) environment. With SNA NRJE,
you can submit batch jobs for processing on an IBM host. A spool
file is created to receive the input job files. Once communication
with the host starts and the host begins to accept job input, each
job is routed to its destination based on its position in the queue.
SNA NRJE workstations send jobs to the host over logical readers
and receive output from the host over logical writers. A logical
reader is configured for each workstation so that data can be transferred
from the HP 3000 to the host. Workstations receive output from the
host through logical writers.

 | NOTE: In this manual, the term SNA link product is
used when the information being given is true for all of the SNA
link products: SNA Link/V, SNA/SDLC Link/XL, and SNA/X.25 Link/XL.
The terms SNA Link/V, SNA/SDLC
Link/XL, and SNA/X.25 Link/XL are
used when a distinction among the three products is necessary. |

SNA NRJE uses the SNA link product, a bundled hardware and software
product that supports a logical and physical connection in an SNA
NRJE network. SNA NRJE and the SNA link product form an HP 3000
subsystem that allows the HP 3000 to emulate the functions of an IBM
8100 DPPX/RJE workstation. Architecturally, this is an SNA Physical
Unit Type 2 (PU.T2), Logical Unit Type 1 (LU.T1) node. Figure 1-1 “HP 3000-to-IBM Communication” shows the different LU types that SNA NRJE can implement
.
