JRE File Transfer?

[A. Daniel King_1]

Hi, folks.

I'm looking for a reference for RJE on HP-UX, which I understand is a file-transfer program similar to FTP, but was spawned from an IBM mainframe environment.

I do NOT believe I'm looking for Java Runtime Environment ... this seems to be a little more obscure.

Any ideas/resources for a non-mainframe guy?

The Ultimate Computer Acronyms Archive ( http://www.acronyms.ch/ ) defines RJE as Remote Job Entry which seems to somewhat fit what you're looking for. Have you tried googling on RJE or Remote Job Entry?

From the docs ...

HP Part Number J2743-90003
HP-UX SNAplus2 RJE User's Guide: HP-UX 11

Listed below are some typical ways that you can use the features of RJE:

*

Print host data at a local site

You can use RJE to download host data sets (host files) from a remote host computer and print them on a local printer.
*

Transfer, store and retrieve files

You can use RJE to transfer a file from the HP-UX computer to a host data set (host file) for storage. The file can be downloaded later to an RJE file or retrieved by a user on a different computer. The file can be transferred without code conversion, or it may be translated to EBCDIC to allow it to be accessed with a host editor.
*

Send jobs at convenient times

RJE allows you to send jobs to the host and receive data from the host at a time that is convenient to you. For example, you can use a cron script to run the RJE workstation at night to send all the jobs submitted during the day. Alternatively, when submitting a job, you can use command-line options to start the workstation and to stop it after RJE activity has completed.
