Overview
BARR/RJE is a software module of the Barr Enterprise Print
Server. BARR/RJE communicates with the mainframe by emulating an
IBM 3770, a device that uses the standard communications
protocol for batch transmission in an IBM SNA environment, and
supporting SNA connections to mainframe job entry systems. BARR/RJE
serves as an input source that accepts mainframe jobs for
further processing and connects to the mainframe in a variety of
ways, including 802.2 LLC2, SDLC, TCP/IP and MS/LUA connections. There
are no pre-determined limits to the number of network-attached
printers that can be supported by BARR/RJE.
BARR/RJE is
designed to facilitate migration to the Barr Enterprise Print Server for
organizations using the BARR/RJE DOS product. Users of the BARR/RJE DOS
product can upgrade to this Windows-based solution without making any
changes to software on the host. Applications for BARR/RJE include
integration of mainframe and open systems networks and enterprise-wide print
and output management. A well thought-out host connectivity and document
management strategy also helps to prepare the groundwork for advanced
corporate systems, such as enterprise reporting and application integration
software.

Connects in
multiple ways:
 |
IP via the
EE Link
|
|
DLSw via
connections to your mainframe through special routers that
encapsulate SNA protocols within a TCP/IP packet
|
|
802.2 LLC2
across token ring or Ethernet to host
|
|
SDLC
connections (at up to 2.048 Mbps) with V.35, X.21, RS530, RS449 or
V.24/RS232 cable
|
|
SNA
gateways such as Microsoft HIS, Microsoft SNA Server or Microsoft
SNA Workstation. SNA gateway connects to the mainframe
through DLC, SDLC or CHANNEL (Bus & Tag or ESCON). BARR/NJE
connects to the SNA gateway via TCP/IP, IPX/SPX or NetBEUI
protocols.

Barr Enterprise Print Server
|
|
EE Link for IP connections
|
|
BARR/SYNC for SDLC connections
|
You need
one of the following packages only if you are using the MS/LUA link type with
BARR/RJE.
|
Microsoft
Host Integration Server (HIS). Use one of the following installation
methods:
|
Install
HIS on the same computer as the Barr software |
|
Install
HIS Client on the same computer as the Barr software, provided that HIS
is installed elsewhere on your network |
|
|
Microsoft
SNA Server version 3.0 (with Service Pack 1) or later. Use one of
the following installation methods:
|
Install
SNA Server on the same computer as the Barr software |
|
Install
SNA Server Client on the same computer as the Barr software, provided
that SNA Server is installed elsewhere on your network |
|
|
Microsoft
SNA Workstation version 4.0 or later. Microsoft SNA Workstation and the
Barr software must be installed on the same computer. SNA Server Client
cannot communicate with Microsoft SNA Workstation. When configuring SNA
Workstation, follow the instructions for Microsoft SNA Server. |
