Configured The names of the LUs you want to configure for the workstation. NRJE LUs (Under You can configure a maximum of 16 LUs for a workstation. Workstation) LU Name For NRJE/V, this is the name of an SNA node class configured on the MPE V SNA Configuration: Classes screen. For NRJE/XL, this is the LU Name (not the NAU number) of an LU as it is configured on the MPE XL SNANode Configuration: PU and LU Data screen. The name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character must be alphabetic. Autostart Enter Y if you want the LU to be automatically initialized when the workstation is started up; N, otherwise. You can override this at workstation startup time. Note that you cannot enter a value in this field if a value is not also entered in the corresponding LU Name field. Default: N File For display only. The name of the configuration file. Once you have entered the data for all of the LUs, press [f6] (Update Data). After the information is processed, press [f8] (Prior Screen) until you get back to the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen. Then, if you need to configure the virtual reader for the workstation, press [f2] (Go To READER). Reader Data Screen Once you have configured the LUs for the workstation, you should configure the workstation's virtual reader next. You do this on the NRJE Configuration: Reader Data screen. Select this screen by pressing [f2] (Go To READER) on the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen. (You can go directly to this screen from any screen by typing @NRJE.wsid.READER in the command window and pressing [ENTER].) NRJE spools submitted jobs to the virtual reader. If the communications line to the host is down, NRJE holds jobs in the queue until the line is active. NRJE then transmits the jobs according to their position in the queue. You configure only one reader for each workstation. This reader is an internal MPE spooling device and does not correspond to readers configured at the host.
[]
Figure 3-8. Reader Data Screen Example Fields Path For display only. The NMMGR path for this screen. It includes the name of the workstation whose virtual reader you are configuring. Logical Device Required. The ldev to which NRJE will spool submitted jobs. For NRJE/V, you must configure this ldev into the I/O system by using the SYSDUMP utility (see the SNA Link Services Reference Manual); this must be followed by a cold start. For NRJE/XL, you must configure an ldev using the SYSGEN utility and then reboot the system. See the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-6005). This ldev must not be used for anything else. When the system is rebooted, NRJE/XL will complete the configuration process for you.
NOTE Do not specify the same reader ldev for workstations that might be simultaneously active.
Range: 1 - 999 (integer) SYSDUMP (MPE V only): Configure the ldev as a type 22 subtype 2 device. The DRT must be back-referenced to the ldev number of the INP or the system disc. Set the record width to 40 words; set the unit, channel, and output device to 0. Specify driver IONRDR0. Chain Size Required. The maximum number of RUs that NRJE will transmit before requiring a definite response from the host. You can get higher throughput with larger values, but if line trouble occurs, the data might have to be retransmitted from the beginning of the chain. Also, if you are using only a few LUs, specifying a larger value here might impact remote console response time. Range: 1 - 99 (integer) Default: 10 Translation Required. The type of translation NRJE will perform on jobs Indicator sent to the host: * 0 = Native - 3000 translation Input in the Native-3000 language (ASCII) is translated to EBCDIC before it is sent to the host. * 1 - 255 = Native Language ID An integer that corresponds to a language other than Native-3000. Input in the language chosen is translated to EBCDIC before it is sent to the host. For more information on Native Language support, see the Native Language, Message Catalogs, and User Logging manual (32650- 60012). Default: 0 Number of Required. The number of logical host readers that the NRJE Readers remote workstation will use. (Also see the LU Data screen description earlier in this chapter.) Range: 1 - 7 Default (JES2 and JES3): 1 Host Configuration: * JES2: This must be less than or equal to the NUMRD parameter of the RMTnnnn macro; see table 3-4. * JES3: This must be less than or equal to the RD parameter of the RJPWS macro; see table 3-6. * VSE/POWER: This field is ignored (because one reader is assumed). Compression On Required. Enter Y if the host accepts compressed in-bound data; N, otherwise. Default: Y Host Configuration: This must match the PRIPROT parameter of the MODEENT macro in the Logmode Table entry used by this workstation (VTAM); see table 3-2. * JES2: If you specify Y, the COMP parameter must be specified in the RMTnnnn macro for the workstation; see table 3-4. * JES3: Does not apply. * VSE/POWER: You must specify N, because VSE/POWER does not support compressed in-bound data. File For display only. The name of the configuration file. Once you have configured the readers for the workstation, press [f6] (Update Data). After the information is processed, press [f8] (Prior Screen) until you get back to the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen. Then, if you need to configure the virtual writers for the workstation, press [f3] (Go To WRITER). Otherwise, press [f8] (Prior Screen) until you get to the NMMGR menu screen or select screen you need next. Writer List Screen Once you have configured the workstation's virtual reader, you should configure the virtual writers. You do this on the NRJE Configuration: Writer List screen. Select this screen by pressing [f3] (Go To WRITER) on the NRJE Configuration: Workstation Data screen. (You can go directly to this screen from any screen by typing @NRJE.wsid.WRITER in the command window and pressing [ENTER].) You must configure an NRJE writer for each printer or punch defined at the host. The writers are spooled devices; they act as logical printers and punches and receive output data sets from the host. You must configure at least one writer per workstation.
