NJE


 

Can anyone refer me to a straightfoward document explaining how to configure NJE on my VM/370 CE 1.2 system?? I have NJE configured on my MVS 3.8j host (TK5) and used the excellent docs put together by Bob Polmanter.

I see that I have the RSCS virtual machine running on my installation, I just don't know what to do next to get the two hosts peering.

Best regards,

Dan


 

Hi Dan,
VMCE 1.1.2 RSCS does not support the NJE interface?because?the developer considers the code incomplete, and?
does not want to allow it to be included.?

The developer of the NJE device support and RSCS modifications, Peter
Coghlan, is usually willing to share his in-progress work privately with
people who contact him and let him know they're interested in trying them
out. You can find his email address on his web site,

I am running Hercules 4.0, which seems to have the TCP NJE code built in.? It looks like the Peter Coghlan code was developed for Hercules 3.x.? Am I correct?

If I am correct, is there a different process to get RSCS working with Hercules 4.x?

I have read .

I have also read the RSCS MEMO that is part of CE 1.2.

The NJE device code in Hyperion/Hercules 4.x is his code that he developed
for 3.x. His NJE line driver for VM/370 will work with the NJE device in
Hercules 4.x, but if you run into trouble and need his help, I suspect he
would first want to you to switch to Hercules Spinhawk and report the
problem based on that, since that's the code base he uses.

What you need from him is the software to install into VM/370 itself to use
the Hercules TCP NJE device.

Thanks.? I'll reach out to Mr. Coghlan.


 

Hi Daniel,

I'd recommend that you use SDL Hercules 4.5 or 4.6; the TCPNJE driver is already in those releases and is stable.? I've been using NJE with SDL Hercules for since 2018.? The problem with Hercules 4.0 is that it is not maintained and is quite out of date.

VM/370 RSCS with Mr. Coghlan's modifications for NJE work perfectly in the SDL Hercules environment, so there is no need to regress back to Hercules 3.x unless you just want to.? I can likely help you with getting RSCS running if you have the modifications.

Regards,
Bob


 

I have the NJE connection between RSCS under VM CE 1.2 and MVS TK5 Update 2 running now.? I am using SDL Hercules 4.6.

Thanks to all those who helped, offered help, and to Mr. Coghlan for the code.
