v Target Destination: Select the default InfoPrint destination that you want this
receiver to submit jobs to from the drop-down list. InfoPrint Manager will
only submit a job to this destination if the jobs does not have a DEST
specified when it comes from the host system.
v Destination Control File: Do not change this path.
v In the Processing Options group box, both options are selected by default
and can be left that way.
Note: When the Retain command files check box is selected, InfoPrint
Manager saves the control files for any MVS Download print jobs that failed
in print submission. Therefore, when you want to resubmit those jobs, you
do not have to download them from the host system again; the files are still
on your InfoPrint server. You can deselect this box, but any jobs that fail in
processing will need to be resubmitted from the host to be printed.
Operators should evaluate any processing failures, correct the problems that
caused the failures, and resubmit the jobs either from the host system (if this
box is deselected) or from the receiver (if this box is selected).
For more information, see "Deleting orphan files and resubmitting jobs to
MVS Download" on page 330.
6. In the Error Processing Options group box, neither option is selected by
default and can be left that way.
7. In the Mapping Options group box, none of the options are selected by default
and can be left that way.
8. Click OK.
One or more pop-up informational messages might appear; read them and click
OK to dismiss them.
9. Select the MVS Download Receivers item in the left pane of the Management
Console.
You should see the receiver you just created in the right pane. The receiver
status might be STOPPED, but it should start momentarily. Click Refresh View
on the toolbar until the status changes to RUNNING.
Once the receiver is running, it is ready to receive print jobs from the host system.
Understanding and using the MVS Download destination
control file
The MVS Download Destination Control File (DCF) is a flat text file that consists
of Control Statements, blank lines, and comments. Each line has a maximum
length of 1023 bytes. Tabs are treated as blank spaces.
Note: If you change the DCF, the changes will not become active until you stop
and restart the receivers that use that DCF.
The DCF maps the MVS keywords and parameters it receives from the host to the
pdpr –x and –p attributes and parameters. The supplied MVS Download Exit uses
pdpr to submit jobs to the target destination. To modify any of the other pdpr
options, you must change the Exit Routine.
