The SNA connection type provides an easy way to manage your printing using NJE. With SNA, you must configure an SNA gateway to interpret between the host spooler and the Barr software. You must also configure the host spooler (JES2, JES3, or POWER), configure VTAM, and configure NJE by defining the connections between Barr nodes and adjacent host nodes. For JES2, you can also configure auto-start parameters for the host. To transfer jobs using an SNA connection, the parameters displayed in the following image must match.
You must be a member of the local Administrators group to operate the NJE Configuration
Utility. If you are assigned the Configure
- NJE user access right on the
computer to which you are trying to connect, but are not a member of the
Administrators group, the NJE Configuration Utility
will operate in read-only mode.
If you are not an Administrator, you must also be assigned the
NJE
Console user access
rights to access NJE
Console.
You must use the same node and LU information in all of the phases for configuring NJE.
If you are using NJE with an SNA connection, perform these steps to get started.
