Table 1. NJERMT Summary
Variable Value
Required/Optional Statement Optional
Statement Default None
Placement in Initialization Stream This statement must follow the ENDJSAM statement.
Coding Considerations
  1. You must code a NJERMT statement for the home node (your node) and one for each remote node that will communicate with the home node.
  2. All DEVICE statements with the parameter DTYPE=SYSMAIN specified must precede the NJERMT statement.
  3. The JNAME parameter on a DEVICE statement that also includes a DTYPE=NJELINE parameter must match the LINE parameter on the NJERMT statement.
  4. The name specified on the NJENAME parameter of the MVS/BDT SYSID statement (for the BDT subsystem which processes SNA/NJE work) must match the name specified on the BDTID parameter of the NJERMT statement.
  5. If you are using the NAME= parameter for an XCF groupname default, (XCFGRPNM on the OPTIONS initialization statement), then the name must be 1-8 alphanumeric characters including $, # and @.
Security Usage
  1. Use the expected password (EXPWD) parameter to specify a password that the home node expects to receive from a directly connected BSC node. The password allows a remote node to start a communication line to the home node. You can define the password (PWD) parameter that the home node must send to a directly connected BSC node. This password allows the home node to start a communication line to the remote node. In addition, the NJERMT statement contains the EXSIG and SIG passwords for dial-up lines.
  2. Use the PWCNTL parameter to specify whether job passwords should be sent encrypted, sent without encryption, or checked only at the local node.
  3. Use the SECSIGNON parameter (valid for TYPE=TCPIP only) to indicate that the signon procedure includes additional checking using the encryption of a random string to confirm the identity of the node.
  4. Use the TLS parameter (valid for TYPE=TCPIP only) to indicate that the TCP/IP transmission uses the Transport Layer Secure facility.
Performance Considerations MAXLINE and STREAM affect NJE throughput. Specify STREAM=2 if you prefer that small jobs streams not be held up by larger SYSOUT streams. Use as many lines between two nodes as possible to allow more work to be sent concurrently.

NJEPR and NJEPU act as a throttle on output service. The amount of work being actively transmitted is limited by the number and speed of the transmission lines to directly connected nodes. The amount of SYSOUT work queued for transmission by output service is limited by the NJEPR and NJEPU parameters. You should set these values high enough to keep the lines busy on a moderately loaded system, but low enough to prevent too much work from being queued, which can degrade performance on a heavily loaded system.

The size of JSAM buffers (defined on the BUFSIZE parameter of the BUFFER statement) affects performance. Use the largest buffer size possible to maximize networking performance.

Initialization Stream Overrides None
Restart or Command Modification Cold start, warm start, or hot start with refresh for all parameters. Use the:
  • *MODIFY,NJE,ADD= command to add a directly or indirectly connected node.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,ADDAL= command to add an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,DEL= command to delete an indirectly connected node or an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,NETHOLD= command to change the NETHOLD parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PATH= command to change the PATH parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PWCNTL= command to change the PWCNTL parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,RETRYCT= command to change the RETRYCT parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,TYPE= command to change the TYPE parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PRTDEF=p command to change the default print class for the home node or an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PUNDEF=n command to change the default punch class for the home node or an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PRTTSO=t command to change the default TSO class for the home node or an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,PRTXWTR=x command to change the default external writer class for the home node or an alias.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,SP= command to change the SPART parameter.
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,JT= command to change the number of job transmitters (TCP/IP only).
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,OT= command to change the number of output transmitters (TCP/IP only).
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,JR= command to change the number of job receivers (TCP/IP only).
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,OR= command to change the number of output receivers (TCP/IP only).
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,TLS= command to change the Transport Layer Secure setting (TCP/IP only).
  • *MODIFY,NJE,NAME=node,SS= command to change the secure signon setting (TCP/IP only).
Note: The NAME parameter on the NJERMT statement that defines HOME=YES is the default for the XCFGRPNM parameter on the OPTIONS statement during a warm or cold start. If the home node is changed during a hot start with refresh and the XCFGRPNM parameter is not specified, the value of XCFGRPNM that was determined from the home node definition during the last warm or cold start remains in effect.
