Sharing InfoPrint 6500-V Printers on z/OS
You can request this method of network printer sharing by specifying the
following parameters in the PSF Startup Proc.
MGMTMODE=OUTAVAIL
FAILURE=WCONNECT
TIMEOUT=REDRIVE
DISCINTV=n
MGMTMODE
Set to OUTAVAIL. OUTAVAIL requests that PSF start a communications
session with the printer only when output is available on the JES spool.
FAILURE
Specifies the action PSF is to take after a printer failure or a TCP/IP network
failure. If FAILURE=WCONNECT and the printer is connected to another host
when PSF attempts to establish a connection on TCP/IP, PSF continuously
retries (up to the limit specified by CONNINTV) until the printer becomes
available. FAILURE=STOP stops the attempt to connect to the printer.
TIMEOUT
Specifies the action that PSF is to take after a timeout when no output is
available on JES. The DISCINTV parameter specifies the timeout interval.
TIMEOUT=REDRIVE requests that PSF redrive the printer FSA using the
value of the MGMTMODE parameter. TIMEOUT=STOP requests that PSF
stop the printer FSA, which can then be restarted only by an operator
command.
DISCINTV
Specifies the disconnect interval in seconds. The value can range from zero
through 86400. InfoPrint suggests you set the value to 15. When no output is
available from JES for this time period, PSF ends the session with the
network printer. If the value is set to zero, PSF does not end the session
because of lack of output.
NOTE: PSF supports two other methods of printer sharing, which are not
144
applicable to 10/100Base-T ethernet printers. VTAM RELREQ is
available for printer sharing under SNA. Port switching is available for
SNA- and TCP/IP-attached printers when a printer can support
multiple active ports.
