Checking Collector Process Status
It is important that the collector processes on your spooler subsystem do not become
more than about 90 percent full. To check their status, enter:
> SPOOLCOM COLLECT
A listing similar to this is sent to your home terminal:
COLLECT
STATE
$S
ACTIVE
$S1
ACTIVE
$S2
ACTIVE
This listing shows that the three collector processes, $S, $S1, and $S2, are active and
none is approaching a full state. If the SPOOLCOM COLLECT display shows any
collector process approaching 90 percent capacity, jobs must be deleted from the
collector in question. See
Spoolcom, for additional information about this and other tasks relating to the spooler
subsystem.
