LVL The importance level of the selected message.
You can also turn on the record view by right-clicking in the console window and selecting Record.
Restore Default Restores the console window to its default settings.
Set Destination Selects the NJE host node where all commands and messages entered in the console will be sent. The name of the current destination node appears in the status bar.
Connect Connects the console to the BARR NJE service. Before sending commands and messages, the console must be connected to the BARR NJE service.
Disconnect Disconnects Breaks a communications link. the console from the BARR NJE service. This does not stop the BARR NJE service; it only disconnects your console session.

Use the global command view to send global commands to the host. Global commands are operating system independent commands that can display, cancel, release, hold, and route jobs on the selected destination node.
In the following sections, sending node refers to the BARR/NJE node that sends the command and host messages.
If the specified job did not originate at the sending node
(or have default print and/or punch output for the sending node), the
destination node must have the sending node flagged as having network
authority.
Send You can send the following global commands to the destination node.
Display Displays job information on the host node. To send this command, the sending node requires display authority. This command requires read security access authority.
Cancel Ends the scheduling or execution of a job at another node and provides a storage dump, if requested. To send this command, the sending node requires job authority. This command requires update security access authority.
Started tasks and time-sharing users can
be canceled only after completed execution.
Release Releases a job held at another node. To send this command, the sending node requires job authority. This command requires update security access authority.
Hold Holds jobs at another node. To send this command, the sending node requires system authority. This command requires update security access authority.
Route Routes normal output for a job at another node to an alternate location. To send this command, the sending node requires job authority. This command requires update security access authority.
Job description To further identity the job on the destination node, you can also specify the jobs identifier and/or the jobs originating node.
Job ID The jobs identifier assigned by the originating node for the job. If you do not know the ID number, set to zero or leave it blank.
Originating node The node where the job originated. If you leave the originating node blank, BARR/NJE will use the destination node in the active routing table to determine the BARR/NJE originating node. This node will be used as the originating node when the command is sent.
Job name The name of the job on the destination node.
Route to The name of the NJE node where the job will be routed. This field is applicable only if the command selected is Route.
The Console view displays the NJE Console input and output. It displays user input, error messages generated by the console, and messages being sent to and received from the current destination node.
You can customize the startup view and display properties of the console view from the Session menus Configuration option.

Host command – Host commands are operating system dependent commands.
Message – Messages can be entered and sent to the destination nodes operator console. Messages can be sent with the following priorities: Non-essential, Normal, Requires delayed operator action, Essential, Requires immediate operator action, and Extremely important.
Some host systems ignore the message priority.
