Preface

This manual describes Hewlett-Packard Company's Systems Network Architecture Network Remote Job Entry (SNA NRJE) product for both the MPE V (NRJE/V) and MPE XL (NRJE/XL) operating systems. Systems Network Architecture (SNA) is a comprehensive specification for distributed data processing networks, developed by IBM.

	NOTE: In this manual, the term NRJE is used when the information being given is true for both NRJE/V and NRJE/XL. The terms NRJE/V and NRJE/XL are used when a distinction between the two subsystems is necessary.

NRJE allows HP 3000 users to submit batch jobs to a remote host system for processing. The host system uses one of the supported job entry subsystems in an SNA environment. You can submit a job and receive output by using either SNA NRJE commands or a set of procedures called intrinsics. If the data communications line is busy, your job is spooled and is automatically processed when the line becomes free. The IBM host sends output back to the remote SNA NRJE site for printing and storing on disk. SNA NRJE conforms to the protocols defined for a Physical Unit Type 2 (PU.T2), Logical Unit Type 1 (LU.T1) node in an SNA network.

This manual describes the steps for configuring SNA NRJE on the HP 3000 system.
