NJE (SNA)

MVS/JES can set up an NJE connection with non-MVS systems that employ compatible networking facilities. For example, MVS/JES NJE connections can be set up with IBM VM/RSCS, IBM VSE/POWER version 2, IBM AS/400 using VM/MVS Bridge, and DEC VAX/VMS systems (through 1nterlink or Jnet).

An NJE connection provides the ability to transmit and receive jobs, in-stream datasets, sysout datasets, commands, and messages from one computer system (node) to another.

The ability to send in-stream datasets using jobs is limited by data structure, recovery capabilities, reliability, and so on. Therefore, most sites that require data transfer use an appropriate file transfer program instead.

Control‑M can be used to send jobs and files to the NJE node. The best way to do this is for Control‑M to submit an MVS job that produces a SYSOUT file with the appropriate non-MVS destination.

The same methods of operation that support RJE (for example, usage of CMEM) can be used to transfer jobs or data from the NJE node to the MVS system.
