(Up to five lu_name parameters can be included.)

Supplied parameters are:

workstation_name

The name of the workstation. This name is a string of up to four characters; it is not case-sensitive.

description

An optional string describing the workstation. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node’s configuration file and returned on the query_rje_workstation command.

primary_user

The HP-UX user ID of the main user of this workstation. This must be a valid user ID on the HP-UX computer specified in the system_name parameter, and must be in the group specified for the group_name parameter. The files and directories that SNAplus2 creates for use by this workstation will be owned by this user ID.

group_name

The HP-UX group name of the group of HP-UX users who use this workstation. This must be a valid group name on the HP-UX computer specified in the system_name parameter, and all users who will use the workstation must be members of the group. The files and directories that SNAplus2 creates for use by this workstation will be owned by this group name.

system_name

The name of the HP-UX server or client on which this workstation will run. The files and directories required by the workstation will be created on this computer.

If the system name includes a . (period) character, SNAplus2 assumes that it is a fully-qualified name; otherwise it performs a DNS lookup to determine the system name.

Before the workstation can be used, you must create the workstation directory /var/opt/sna/rje/ WKST on the specified computer; WKST represents the name of the RJE workstation, as specified by the workstation_name parameter. You should also create a workstation style file with the name WKST.sty in the directory /etc/opt/sna. For more information about the workstation style file, refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 RJE User’s Guide. All other files and directories required by the workstation will be created automatically when the workstation is started.

In general, RJE users must run the spool commands (to submit, list, or cancel jobs) on the same computer on which the workstation directory has been defined. If you need to relax this restriction, you can share the workstation directory (and its subdirectories) using NFS. Spool commands can then be issued from any computer that has this shared directory mounted.

If you want to enable the workstation to run on more than one computer, do not specify the system_name parameter. In this case, you need to be aware of the following:

•Any computer where the workstation can be run must have the workstation directory and style file set up as previously described and must include the workstation’s primary user and group in the HP-UX user and group setup. It is recommended that you set up the workstation directory on one computer and share it using NFS.
