Remote job entry

<p>Remote job entry, or Remote Batch,  is the procedure for sending requests for non-interactive <a href="/facts/Data_processing/74EKCDAq">data processing</a> tasks (<a href="/facts/Job_(computing)/pW4LEz0Q">jobs</a>) to <a href="/facts/Mainframe_computer/nrBR6rWa">mainframe computers</a> from remote <a href="/facts/Workstation/h5tK4hTt">workstations</a>, and by extension the process of receiving the output from such jobs at a remote workstation.
</p><p>The RJE workstation is called a remote because it usually is located some distance from the host computer. The workstation connects to the host through a <a href="/facts/Modem/9H0Xwtq0">modem</a>, digital link, packet-switching network or <a href="/facts/Local_area_network/edUDxJ6J">local area network</a> (LAN). RJE is similar to <a href="/facts/UUCP/dQ055F7b">uux</a> and <a href="/facts/SSH/wjVRw5zv">SSH</a>, except that the workstation sends a complete job stream rather than a single command and that the user does not receive any output until the completion of the job..
The terms Remote Batch, Remote Job System and Remote Job Processing are also used for RJE facilities.
