This topic outlines the procedures necessary for configuring NJE to use HPR/IP connections. These procedures are required. Your host programmer can help configure the link settings.
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.
You can also define
routing tables to route jobs from BHCS and messages from NJE
Console to host nodes on the NJE network.
Configure the connection
HPR/IP (Enterprise Extender)
Use the NJE Configuration Utility to define and configure HPR/IP connections for communicating with the host. The procedures outlined in this topic are required. Your host programmer can help configure the link settings. Complete the following steps to configure the connection.
Open the NJE Configuration Utility.
Select the Communications
Profile tab. 
Under Connection, click Add. The Add Connection dialog box displays.
Type the connection Name.
In the Type
drop-down list, select Barr SNA. Click OK.
The Connection Configuration
dialog box displays.
Next to Barr
SNA configuration, click Modify.
The Barr SNA Configuration
dialog box displays.
Under Link
service, an HPR/IP link has been created by default. To update
the default link, select BARRIP1
and click Modify.
The BARR/SNA HPR/IP Link Service configuration utility's Link
tab displays. Complete the following steps to configure the link.
To create a new link, click Add,
select the HPR/IP (Enterprise Extender)
link type, and click OK.
Enter the Host name or IP address of the Network Node Server. This must match the name specified during TCP/IP configuration.
Enter the NETID (network name) for the HPR/IP link service. This must match the name specified for the NETID parameter during VTAM configuration. The value must be text with a maximum of eight characters.
Enter the CPNAME (control point name) for the HPR/IP link service. If you are not using Autogen, this must match the name specified for the CPNAME parameter during the additional VTAM configuration. The value must be text with a maximum of eight characters.
Click OK to return to the Barr SNA Configuration dialog box. The link will be automatically named BARRIPn.
Under
Connection, click Configure.
The HPR/IP Connection
Configuration dialog box displays. Complete the following steps to
configure the connection.
In the IDBLK box, type the appropriate hexadecimal value. This parameter will be used by the host to identify the remote PU definition. The default value is 03D. This must match the IDBLK parameter specified during VTAM configuration.
In the IDNUM box, type the appropriate value. This parameter will be used by the host to identify the remote PU definition. The default value is 12345. This must match the IDNUM parameter specified during VTAM configuration.
In the MAXDATA box, select the maximum amount of data you can send on the PU in one frame. This value includes nine bytes of header information plus the data length. The default value is 1033. This must match the MAXDATA parameter specified during VTAM configuration.
Click OK. You are now ready to configure the Barr SNA node.
You must configure the Barr SNA node using the parameters provided to you by your host programmer. Complete the following steps to configure the Barr SNA node.
From the Barr
SNA Configuration dialog box, under NJE
logical unit, in the Name
box, type the SNA LU name. This must match the luname
parameter specified during VTAM
configuration.
In the Number box, type the LU number as a decimal. This must match the LOCADDR parameter specified during VTAM configuration.
Click OK.
After you have configured your HPR/IP connection, you must configure the NJE node. You must use parameters provided to you by your host programmer. Complete the following steps to configure the NJE node.
For JES2, you can save time and configure
the NJE node to start automatically using NetView.
From the Connection
Configuration dialog box, next to NJE
Configuration, click Modify.
The NJE Configuration dialog
box displays.
Under BARR node, enter the Barr node Name. This must match the NJE node name specified during JES2, JES3, or POWER configuration. The Location box is currently unavailable.
Under Host node, enter the host node Name. This must match the host node name specified during JES2, JES3, or POWER configuration.
Select the host node Type. If you are using JES2 or JES3, select MVS/JES2. If you are using POWER, select VSE/POWER.
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Node Settings
dialog box displays.
Under Passwords, specify a Send password and a Receive password, if desired. The send password is the password sent to the host to authenticate the BARR node. The receive password is the password the BARR node expects to receive from the host to authenticate the host node. By default, the passwords are blank.
The Features
fields are set for optimal performance and are compatible with host systems.
Under Streams, configure the number of streams. This must match the number of streams specified during JES2 or POWER configuration. If you are using JES3, skip this step.
The host's receivers correspond to BARR's transmitters,
and the host's transmitters correspond to BARR's receivers. For example,
if the host is configured for 5 SYSIN transmitters, the SYSIN receivers
field must be 5.
Click OK twice, and then click Close.
When you click OK to close the NJE Configuration Utility, a message displays asking if you want to restart the BARR NJE service. Click Yes.
After you have completed configuring NJE, you must start the Barr SNA node. You will then be ready to use NJE for printing management.
Complete the following steps after the NJE service has restarted.
Verify that the NJE LU is activated.
Issue the start networking command at the host console. This command differs for JES2, JES3, and POWER.
For JES2:
$SN,A=applid
where applid is the NJE LU name set in VTAM and JES2 configuration.
For JES3:
+S SNA,NODE=nodename
where nodename is the NJE node name set in JES3 configuration.
For POWER:
pstart pnet,nodename
where nodename is the NJE node name set in POWER configuration.
A message will display on the host console indicating that the node is active. If this message does not appear, use the Operator Console to diagnose the problem.
No additional configuration is needed for receiving print jobs. Once the NJE connection is operational and the node has been started at the host, jobs will automatically be received into the spool. From BHCS, you can reroute jobs to various destinations using a header field.
To send a test print job, request that the job be submitted from the host to NJE and use the Barr node name as the destination. Anyone on the host can route their job to an NJE node using the DEST= parameter in their JCL. For example, you could specify DEST=barrnode in your JCL where barrnode is the NJE node name specified during JES2, JES3, or POWER configuration.
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A,DEST=barrnode
You can also route the job to a specific printer in the Barr spooler by adding the printer name to your destination parameter. Enter the Barr node name, followed by a comma, and then the printer name. Because the DEST= parameter contains two parameters, you must use parenthesis as shown in the following example.
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A,DEST=(barrnode,HPLASER)
