RJE - Configuring VTAM

For each Barr remote, your host system programmer must enter the following PU and LU definitions in VTAM. To ensure the correct parameters are used, sample VTAM definitions are provided when you configure the HPR/IP communication link.

Before you begin, you must gather the following information from your host programmers. We recommend that you print this topic and record the information in the spaces provided.

  1. Enter the PU and LU definitions

  2. HPR/IP (Enterprise Extender)

  1. Configure TCP/IP and VTAM (HPR/IP only)

  2. Activate the PU

Parameter

Description

1. PUNAME

The PU’s name conforms to the naming convention at your site. The VTAM operator uses the name to vary the unit active or inactive and to query the unit’s status.

2. IDBLK

A combination of the IDBLK and IDNUM parameters are used on an HPR/IP network to identify the remote’s PU definition.

3. IDNUM

A combination of the IDBLK and IDNUM parameters are used on an HPR/IP network to identify the remote’s PU definition.

4. MAXDATA

The maximum amount of data you can send on the PU in one frame. This count includes nine bytes of header information plus the data length.

You must add LUs for each printer, punch, and reader, as well as 2 LUs for the RJE Console. Use the LU macro formula to calculate the number of LUs you need.

Activating the PU

If you do not have the ISTATUS=ACTIVE parameter in your VTAM definition, then enter the following commands at your host console.

v net,inact,id=VTAMMEMBER
v net,act,id=VTAMMEMBER

Where VTAMMEMBER is the library member that contains the PU definition
