Configuring User Applications

Overview

RJE applications

SNAplus2 provides support for remote job entry (RJE), enabling you to submit jobs to a host computer for processing. The RJE workstation daemon handles transfer of jobs to the host, and also handles the output returned from the host.

You can prepare jobs for submission to the host and add them to the queue for an RJE workstation at any time, regardless of whether the RJE workstation is running. When the workstation runs, it submits any outstanding jobs to the host (in the order in which they were submitted). It also routes any output received from the host to the appropriate destination, as determined by the configuration.

For RJE communication, configure the following resources:

Step 1. Define a dependent LU as described in “Defining LU Types 0–3”.

Step 2. To enable an RJE workstation to select from a pool of LUs, define an LU pool as described in “Defining LU Pools”. If the RJE workstation uses a dedicated LU, you can skip this step.

Step 3. Define RJE workstations as described in “Configuring RJE Workstations”.

LUA applications

To support an LUA application, configure the following resources:

Step 1. Define a dependent LU as described in “Defining LU Types 0–3”.

Step 2. To enable an LUA application to select from a pool of LUs, define an LU pool as described in “Defining LU Pools”. If the LUA application uses a dedicated LU, you can skip this step.

An LUA application uses the LU 0–3 resources of the node to communicate with a host application. You do not need to define any additional resources.
