Titan Users—Changes in Printing Non-NIH Jobs on Titan

Currently, NJE (Network Job Entry) jobs executed outside of NIH and transmitted to Titan for printing are not associated with any Titan USERid.

In the near future the NIH Computer Center will require customers who need to print such jobs to preregister with TASC.

Preregistering Node and USERids

Call TASC at (301) 594-6248 and provide the following information:

1. the originating node name (i.e., where the job will be coming from)
2. the USERid at that originating node
3. one or more associated valid Titan USERids

For example:

Information Needed	Examples
Non-NIH NJE node name	CDCJES2, SSAPRD1, HCFJES, CCF1, NPH, SPGFLDCDCJES2, SSAPRD1, HCFJES, CCF1, NPH, SPGFLD
USERid registered at the non-NIH node	JOHND
Associated Titan USERid(s)	aaaaiii, $iii

This information will allow us to charge the appropriate account for printing and provide contact information in case of problems.

New JCL Needed

In addition to registering this information, customers will need to include a /*NETACCT control statement in their JCL with a Titan USERid previously registered for this service. The form of the statement is:

/*NETACCT TitanUSERid

The following examples show jobs submitted on Titan to be run at a node named "nodename."

•       XMIT Statement

This job uses a /*XMIT statement. The /*NETACCT statement must appear before the /*XMIT statement.

Example

//jobname JOB (Titan JOB statement)
/*NETACCT titanuserid
/*XMIT nodename
//rcvjob JOB (receiving node JOB statement)
/*JOBPARM ROOM=bbbb
/*ROUTE PRINT NIHJES2.HOLD
(any other control statements required by receiving host)
//stepname EXEC ...

•       ROUTE XEQ Statement

The next example uses a /*ROUTE XEQ statement instead of the /*XMIT statement:

Example

//rcvjob JOB (receiving node JOB statement)
/*ROUTE XEQ nodename
/*NETACCT titanuserid
/*JOBPARM ROOM=bbbb
/*ROUTE PRINT NIHJES2.HOLD
(any other control statements required by receiving host)
//stepname EXEC ...

If no /*NETACCT control statement is included—or if the Titan USERid on the NETACCT statement has not been registered to use NETACCT—then the SYSOUT from the non-NIH node will not print on Titan. It will be sent back to the sending node.

Note for South System Users

For jobs that run on the South system and print on Titan, there is no need to register or to include a /*NETACCT statement.

If you have any questions, please contact TASC at (301) 594-6248.
