Two of the largest SNA/RJE applications today
are remote job submission to IBM mainframes
and distribution of line printer output
to
printers physically distant from data
centers.
This is essentially the same function
that
the original 3776/3777 terminals were
designed
for in the 1970s. U.S. Customs The advent of PCs and 3770 SNA/RJE emulation has opened the doors for the creation of industry specific applications. One of the largest applications utilizing SNA/RJE emulation has arisen out the U.S. Federal Government -- the U.S. Customs Service, to be precise. The Customs Service has built mainframe-based systems to manage the exporting and importing of goods. Three of these systems are:
You guessed it. The connection required to U.S. Customs is via 3770 SNA/RJE emulation. There is a similar system in use by the Canadian Customs Service. Remote Printing Another modern use of SNA/RJE is in connecting remote printers to mainframe systems. This used to be another of IBM's exclusive domains but third-party companies, such as Xerox and Solimar Systems, have come into the marketplace to provide a variety of printers, print management systems, and associated services. SNA/RJE is one of the connectivity options in such remote printing systems. |
