POWER does not support sending data to the host.
To configure VSE/POWER, you must add an NJE node for Barr and define streams for the node. Later we will test to make sure the NJE node has been configured correctly.
POWER does not support sending data to the host.
Add a NJE node
Define the NJE SNA node to POWER by adding another PNODE in your pnet settings. The following POWER NJE definition contains statements your host programmer must enter for each Barr node.

NODE=nodename,BUFSIZE=32000,applid=luname,auth=net |
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
NODE=nodename |
Replace nodename with the NJE node name. This is the value the BARR node will be identified as on your NJE network. It is used for routing, messages, and JCL. This value is also the Barr node name specified when configuring NJE for Barr SNA or SNA. |
|
BUFSIZE=32000 |
Use 32000 for maximum performance. You can conserve host resources by using a lower setting.
|
|
applid=luname |
Replace luname with the NJE LU name specified during VTAM configuration. This must also match the NJE LU name specified when configuring NJE for Barr SNA or SNA and the SNA gateway. |
A POWER
configuration example has been provided to show the configuration
for a single host node connected to NJE.
When you define streams for the node, you can use POWER's predefined number of streams or manually activate a node's stream. These stream values will also be entered later as NJE stream numbers when you configure NJE for Barr SNA or SNA. You can view the streams for an active node by issuing the pinquire node=nodename command once the node is active.
POWER limits the number of transmitters to 8.
If you choose not to define the number of streams, POWER uses the following default settings.
1 SYSIN transmitter
1 SYSOUT transmitter
8 SYSIN receivers
8 SYSOUT receivers
After the command to start the node has been issued, the number of streams can be set by activating or draining streams.
To activate a stream, issue the command:
|
pact |
pnet,nodename,sttype,jobtype |
To deactivate a stream, issue pdrain instead of pact.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
nodename |
Replace with the NJE node name. This is the Barr node name specified when configuring NJE for Barr SNA. |
|
sttype |
Replace with either tri or rvi, where i is the stream number. Use tri for a transmitter and rvi for a receiver. |
|
jobtype |
Replace with either job or out. Use job for SYSIN and out for SYSOUT. |
The following is a sample POWER configuration for a single host node connected to NJE.
