Parameter Description for RMT(nnnnn) (SNA)

Autolog=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) this RJE workstation remote can be automatically logged on. You must be certain to also specify the LUNAME= parameter.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

BUFSIZE=nnnnn|256

Specifies the largest request unit (256-3840 bytes) that can be sent to or received from this SNA RJE workstation. A value of nnnnn outside this range defaults to 256.

Performance Considerations: Use this parameter to reduce JES2 processor overhead when driving multileaving remote workstations on high-speed lines. Proper specification can also increase throughput.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

COMPACT=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) this RJE workstation supports compaction, allowing a compaction table to be sent for use with a printer or punch data set. If more than one session is active and Yes is specified, all sessions are eligible to receive a compaction table.

Use the COMPACT initialization statement to define compaction tables. If more than one session is active and COMPACT=Yes, all sessions are eligible to receive a compaction table.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

COMPRESS=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) this SNA terminal will use the compression/expansion feature. If COMPACT=Yes (compaction) is specified, compression (COMPRESS=Yes) is forced.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

CONDEST=nnnnn

Specifies the route code (1-32767) to be used for responses to commands entered from this RJE workstation. The value specified here should be equivalent to the nnnnn specification on a RMT(nnnnn) statement.

Note: This routing only affects nonspooled responses. If you do not specify a value, JES2 assigns the number of this terminal (RMT(nnnnn) ) as its route code.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

CONS=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) this RJE workstation has an operator console.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

Note: This parameter should only be specified for those SNA RJE stations that have a separate console.

DEVTYPE=LUTYPE1

Specifies that this RJE workstation is a SNA terminal (for example, a 3770 terminal, a 3791 workstation, or a System/32 workstation) that can be accessed only by means of a logical line (that is, a line defined by a LINE(nnnnn) statement with the UNIT=SNA parameter).

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command. (If DEVTYPE= is changed to a valid value other than LUTYPE1, this SNA remote workstation will be changed to a BSC remote workstations.)

Discintv=nnnnn|0

Specifies the maximum interval (0-8160) in seconds after which, if there is no successful text transmission in either direction, JES2 ends the session between the SNA RJE workstation and the processing unit. Error recovery tries and idle time are not counted as successful text transmission. JES2 rounds this value to the next higher multiple of 32.

If you do not specify a value, this parameter defaults to 0, indicating that the session is not to be ended and the terminal is not to be disconnected.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

LINE=nnnnn|0

Specifies the number (0-65535) of a logical line that is connected (and dedicated) to this RJE workstation. This line must be defined by a LINEnnnnn statement, with the UNIT=SNA parameter specified. An exception to this rule is specifying LINE=0, which causes JES2 to reset the remote to a nondedicated terminal.

If you specify no line number, JES2 uses a default of LINE=0 to indicate that the terminal is nondedicated and can use any nondedicated, SNA line.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

LOCAL190=INFO|ACTION

Specifies the type for operator setup messages ($HASP190) issued at the local processor console for this RJE workstation.

INFO: Specifies that these messages ($HASP190) are to be “information” type messages that do not require an operator action to be deleted from a display console.
ACTION: Specifies that these messages ($HASP 190) are flagged as “action” messages that require a positive operator action to be deleted from a display console.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

LOGON=logon

Specifies the logon DCT to which this remote device should be connected as defined by the LOGON(nnn) initialization parameter.

LUNAME=xxxxxxxx

Specifies the logical unit name of this RJE workstation. If specified, this name must be the same as the name defined to VTAM® at system initialization. A logical unit name must be specified if the automatic logon capability is used. The logical unit associated with the logical unit name should be the first of the terminal's logical units to logon to JES2. Otherwise, the LUNAME associated with the session is taken from the name pointed to by the parameter list VTAM passes to the JES2 logon exit.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

MFORM=J|M|T

Specifies the amount of information to be displayed in JES2 operator console messages for this remote workstation.

J: Indicates that the message is displayed with the jobname and job ID of the issuer.
M: Indicates that only the message text is displayed.
T: Indicates that the message is displayed with a time stamp, jobname, and job ID of the issuer.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

MSGPRT=Yes|No

Specifies whether JES2 keeps messages on spool routed to an unavailable RJE workstation console.

MSGPRT=Yes causes JES2 to keep messages on spool if the remote console is unavailable. MSGPRT=No causes JES2 to discard messages if the RJE workstation does not have a console defined.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

NUMPRT=n|1

Specifies the number (0-7) of logical printers at this RJE workstation. If there is a separate printer for each console, do not include it in this count. The maximum value for NUMPRT= is 6 if CONS=Yes is specified, 7 otherwise. Use a zero to specify no printers. Use the R(nnnnn).PR(m) statement to specify the characteristics of the printer(s). A maximum total of 8 printers and punches can be defined for RJE workstations without a console or only 7 printers and punches for RJE workstations with a console defined.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

NUMPUN=n|0

Specifies the number (0-7) of logical card punches at this RJE workstation. SNA RJE workstations can support up to 7 punch data streams. Use the R(nnnnn).PU(m) initialization statement to specify the characteristics of the card punch(s). A maximum total of 8 printers and punches can be defined for RJE workstations without a console or only 7 printers and punches for RJE workstations with a console defined.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

NUMRDR=n|1

Specifies the number (0-7) of logical card readers at this RJE workstation. SNA RJE workstations can support up to 7 reader data streams. Use the R(nnnnn).RD(m) initialization statement to specify the characteristics of the reader(s).

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

Password=xxxxxxxx

Specifies a security password to prevent unauthorized users from using this RJE workstation's resources.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

RMT150=Yes|No

Yes specifies that if this RJE workstation has a console, the $HASP150 message is first sent to this console and then also sent to the local operator. NO specifies that the $HASP150 message is sent only to the local operator.

Note: Yes is only valid if CONS=Yes is also specified for this remote terminal.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

Routecde=nnnnn

Specifies the route code (1-32767) to be assigned to this terminal and its associated printers, punches, and readers. The value specified here should be equivalent to the nnnnn specification on a RMT(nnnnn) statement.

If you do not specify a route code, JES2 assigns the number of this terminal (RMT(nnnnn)) as its route code.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

SETUP=PDIR|MSG

PDIR specifies that a peripheral data information record (PDIR), containing setup information, is constructed and sent to the remote workstation. The remote workstation is responsible for processing the header and generating any required messages. SETUP=PDIR allows spooling of data and generation of multiple copies of a data set (from the original sent by JES2) at a remote workstation.

MSG specifies that JES2 is to inform the remote operator of any setup requirements through the $HASP190 message. Upon completion of setup, the operator must issue a $S command to start JES2 transmission.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command.

START=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) JES2 should start this RJE workstation after initialization. To use this feature, you must be certain to specify the LUNAME= parameter. Also, you must start the LOGON(n) and LINE(nnnnn) that this RMT(nnnnn) uses earlier in the initialization stream.

Modification: $S RMTnnnnn operator command or $P RMTnnnnn operator command.

WAITIME=nn|1

Specifies the length of time (0-30) in seconds that RTAM should wait at the completion of the processing of any input stream, printed output stream, or punched output stream to allow the operator to enter an input stream at this RJE workstation.

Note: If this parameter is set too low, contention might occur during SNA logon processing, resulting in $HASP094 messages and the termination of the SNA remote session. Increase this parameter to allow the SNA remote adequate time to respond during logon processing so that proper LU type 1 protocol is followed.

Modification: $T RMT(nnnnn) operator command if the RJE workstation is inactive.
