NRJE Features

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.
