This describes the JES2 commands for controlling NJE static connections. Static connections applies to all connections created through a JES2 CONNECT initialization statement or a $ADD command; the system presumes the connections are logically static and will not end. For the following four commands, you can use symbolic names to specify the nodes involved in a connection through the NODEA= and NODEB= parameters.

Adding network connections

To add static network connections, you must know how your NJE network in the JES2 initialization procedure is defined; that is, you must know which nodes can use which lines.

Enter the $ADD CONNECT command to dynamically add network connections. (For a description of controlling remote terminals, see “Remote Job Entry” in “ Controlling JES2 Devices and Functional Subsystems.”)

Changing static network connections

Enter the $T CONNECT command to dynamically change previously defined network path connections. Through this command you can change only static connections: those defined by a CONNECT initialization statement or established by the $ADD CONNECT command. However, you cannot use this command to change the NODE and MEMBER attributes of new connections. (Change NODE and MEMBER by using the $DEL CONNECT command to delete the existing connection and the $ADD CONNECT command to add the required connection.)

Displaying network connections

Enter the $D CONNECT command to display network path connections defined to JES2. The $D CONNECT displays both static and non-static (connection records received from other nodes) connections.

Deleting network connections

Enter the $DEL CONNECT command to delete static path connections. Through this command you can delete only static connections: those defined by a CONNECT initialization statement or established by the $ADD CONNECT command.
