Two kinds of NRJE users exist:

  • NRJE managers, those with Node Manager (NM) user capability. An NRJE manager is responsible for managing the NRJE workstation. The NRJE manager has the capability of controlling all files transmitted from the workstation and all data sets returned from the host to the workstation.

  • Users, those without NM user capability. An NRJE user submits batch jobs to a host system for processing.

An NRJE manager can do everything that a user can do, with some extended capabilities. An NRJE manager can determine and alter the status of the job of any user, and can cancel the job of any user.

An NRJE manager plans and monitors the operation of the NRJE subsystem. NRJE manager responsibilities include maintenance and problem solving. Logging capabilities allow an NRJE manager to monitor network and NRJE events. Tracing capabilities permit an NRJE manager to examine internal NRJE processes and the use of NRJE commands and intrinsics. Logging and tracing capabilities are provided through the HP 3000 Multiprogramming Executive (MPE) operating system, and through the HP SNA link product.

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.

An NRJE user submits jobs to a remote host system. Users can determine the status of their jobs to be submitted to a host, alter the status of their jobs, and cancel their jobs. Users also can display information about the status of NRJE.

The NRJE manager is directly responsible for NRJE operation and usage, but another level of responsibility is assigned to the HP 3000 SNA node manager. The HP 3000 SNA node manager is responsible for overall HP-IBM data communications. The node manager builds the configuration file, which defines the following:

  • The communications link

  • The SNA node and logical units

  • Logging and tracing characteristics

  • The SNA workstation

The node manager also monitors operations of the node. Node management functions are described in the SNA Link Services Reference Manual and the SNA Link/XL Node Manager's Guide.
