<div><div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Storing and printing spooled files</h4><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If
|
||
|
|
you choose to store external resources for spooled files in a <a href="rzalydiskpoolgroups.htm">disk pool group</a>, you must be aware of the printing implications.
|
||
|
|
You can store the external resources such as, <a href="../rzau6/rzau6overview.htm">Advanced
|
||
|
|
Function Presentation™ (AFP™) </a> objects such as <a href="../rzau6/rzau6fonts.htm">*FNTRSC</a>, <a href="../rzau6/rzau6formdef.htm">*FORMDF</a>, <a href="../rzau6/rzau6overlays.htm">*OVL</a>, <a href="../rzau6/rzau6pagedef.htm">*PAGDFN</a>, <a href="../rzau6/rzau6pageseg.htm">*PAGSEG</a>, and non-AFP resources in a disk pool group. In
|
||
|
|
order for the printer writer job to access these objects, you must set the
|
||
|
|
disk pool so that it exists in the library namespace with the writer job. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">Follow
|
||
|
|
these steps to set the disk pool in the library namespace of the writer job: <ol><li>Make sure that the disk pool group that contains the external resources
|
||
|
|
is available. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Set the disk pool group for the current thread using the <a href="../cl/setaspgrp.htm">SETASPGRP (Set ASP Group) command</a> (disk-pool-group-name).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Print the spooled file using the <a href="../cl/strprtwtr.htm">STRPRTWTR (Start Printer Writer) command</a> (printer-device-name).</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Consider the following environment: <ul><li>Two or more systems in a cluster </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A switchable disk pool to be switch between two or more systems in a cluster </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Spooled files using external resources are placed onto the switchable
|
||
|
|
disk pool </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The external resources are in *SYSBAS</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
To print a spooled file correctly, from any system in the cluster, the
|
||
|
|
external resources must reside in the same libraries on each of the systems
|
||
|
|
in the cluster.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If a spooled file is not with its' external
|
||
|
|
resource in the disk pool that is in a switchable disk environment, then the
|
||
|
|
external resource must exist in the same library on both systems. If the external
|
||
|
|
resource is not in the same disk pool as the spooled file or the external
|
||
|
|
resources are not stored in both libraries on the systems, then the spooled
|
||
|
|
file cannot be read.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For ease of use, it is recommended
|
||
|
|
that the spooled file and the external resources be stored in the same disk
|
||
|
|
pool.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
|
||
|
|
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><h4 class="sectiontitle">Avoid duplicated spooled files</h4><div class="p">Only
|
||
|
|
one version of a spooled file is allowed to exist in a namespace. A spooled
|
||
|
|
file cannot be: <ul><li>Restored into *SYSBAS if it already exists in a disk pool.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Restored into a disk pool if it already exists in *SYSBAS.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Moved from disk pool to *SYSBAS if it already exists in another disk pool.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
A disk pool can fail to vary on if the disk pool contains the same version
|
||
|
|
of a spooled file that is in *SYSBAS. To correct the problem, do the following
|
||
|
|
steps: <ol><li>View the job log for the job that attempted to vary on the disk pool for
|
||
|
|
a list of duplicate spooled files in *SYSBAS.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use the <a href="../cl/dltsplf.htm">Delete
|
||
|
|
Spooled File (DLTSPLF)</a> command to delete the duplicate spooled files
|
||
|
|
in *SYSBAS.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Vary off the disk pool.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Vary on the disk pool.</li>
