User Exits

Two exits have been added to SNA NRJE to facilitate job management and output management operation. One exit calls a customer's procedure that decodes the host banner (separator page) and informs NRJE of the host job number for the data set. A separate exit procedure can be specified for each logical writer.

A second exit passes all console data to a customer's procedure that parses the host "Job Received" messages sent by the host to the remote console when a job is submitted.

	NOTE: If an exit procedure is not specified, NRJE uses its own internal parsing algorithms to decode banners and "Job Received" messages. The exit procedures are not necessary unless the host has been modified to send nonstandard banners or console messages.

Configuration

These two steps must be performed to configure SNA NRJE to access an exit procedure:

1. Install the procedure segment from the USL file into SL.NRJE.SYS.

2. Identify the name of the console exit procedure in the NMMGR Workstation Data Page 2 screen and the banner decode procedure(s) in the NMMGR Writer Data Screen. These exit procedures are configured differently. Configuring a banner exit as a console exit can cause a system failure.

	CAUTION: NRJE exits grant privileged mode access to system resources. Improper installation and configuration of user exits can cause a system failure.
