Stages in Processing a Job

must issue any other RJE commands related to the workstation (for

example, commands for stopping the workstation, spool commands, or

the console program), on the same computer.

For more information on starting the workstation, see “Starting the RJE

Workstation” in Chapter 2.

Step 5. Send the job to the host.

The RJE workstation takes jobs from the spool in the order in which you

submit them and sends them to the host for processing. The host then

processes the jobs. If an error occurs during sending (for example, a link

failure), the RJE workstation may retry sending the jobs when the

session is established again. The workstation may make as many as 99

attempts for each job. However, this depends on the number of retry

attempts you speciﬁed when you submitted the job.

For more information, see the snaprjesend command and “Using

Control Lines” with snaprjesend, in chapter 4.

Step 6. View host console information.

Once you submit the job to the host, use the console program to examine

the status of jobs queued at the host , and view information returned by

the host.

For more information, see “Using the Console Program” in Chapter2 and

Chapter 5, “SNAplus2 RJE Console Program.”

Step 7. Receive the host output.

The host processes the job, and returns output to the RJE workstation.

Step 8. Route the host output.

The RJE workstation sends the output from the host to the appropriate

ﬁle, directory, or program, as speciﬁed in the conﬁguration.

For more information, see “Processing Output Data” and “Running the

RJE Workstation” later in this chapter.

The following sections provide more information on the RJE components

and tasks associated with each of the above stages.
