<h3 id="rzau6share">Share print sessions</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> You can specify printer sharing properties on the PSF configuration object.
|
||
|
|
This lets you limit the amount of time that you have a connection to the printer,
|
||
|
|
control when the session is released, control when a new session is started,
|
||
|
|
and specify how many times Print Services Facility™ (PSF) tries to connect
|
||
|
|
to the printer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Several parameters from the PSF configuration object and device description
|
||
|
|
let you configure PSF to share sessions with other PSF sessions or ASCII print
|
||
|
|
drivers.</p>

<li>PSF supports session sharing with TCP/IP-attached printers.</li>
|

<li>PSF supports session sharing with any printer attached to the PSF Direct
|
||
|

licensed program.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>PSF does not support session sharing with APPC-attached printers. If you
|
||
|
|
want to use session sharing with these printers, either use their TCP/IP support,
|
||
|
|
if available, or attach them to PSF Direct, if supported.</li>
|

<li>PSF does not support session sharing with twinaxial printers attached

with these printers, check if TCP/IP support is available.</li>

</ol>
|

<p>Following are the parameters you need to consider for printer session and

dialog sharing.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl class="parml">
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">ACTTMR</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Printer device description parameter that specifies how long (in seconds)
|
||
|
|
that PSF waits for a printer to respond to an activation request. This applies
|
||
|
|
to TCP/IP-attached printers only. PSF uses this timer only after a session
|
||
|
|
has been opened with the printer.
|
||
|
|
<p>No timers can influence the length of
|
||
|
|
time that TCP/IP takes to wait for a response to a session start request.
|
||
|
|
You can specify that PSF retries session start requests after a failure of
|
||
|
|
the session start request failure is detected. To do this, use the PSF configuration
|
||
|
|
object RETRY parameter to specify how many session start request retries PSF
|
||
|
|
should perform.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">ACTRLSTMR</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>PSF configuration object parameter that specifies the point at which
|
||
|
|
the Release Timer (RLSTMR) is activated.
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are using a non-impact
|
||
|
|
continuous forms printer, do not set the PRTRQSTMR parameter in the printer
|
||
|
|
device description to *NOMAX. If you set the PRTRQSTMR to *NOMAX, an operator
|
||
|
|
must perform a manual nonprocess runout (NPRO) at the printer. PSF will not
|
||
|
|
release a session or Intelligent Printer Data Stream™ (IPDS™) dialog until
|
||
|
|
the last file sent to the printer is printed.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">RESTRTMR</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>PSF configuration object parameter that specifies the amount of time
|
||
|
|
to wait before the printer writer attempts to re-establish either a session
|
||
|
|
or dialog. For example, if this value is set to 10, PSF activates the timer
|
||
|
|
as soon as a session or dialog is released. After 10 minutes have elapsed,
|
||
|
|
PSF checks for a spooled file with a status of RDY. If there is one, PSF tries
|
||
|
|
to start a session or dialog with the printer in order to print the file.
|
||
|
|
If a spooled file is not ready after the timer expires, PSF waits for a RDY
|
||
|
|
spooled file to be placed on its output queue before attempting to start a
|
||
|
|
session or dialog.
|
||
|
|
<p>This timer is ignored if PSF has not been configured
|
||
|
|
to release either a session or dialog. Use the ACTRLSTMR and RLSTMR parameters
|
||
|
|
to configure PSF to release either a session or dialog.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">RETRY</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>PSF configuration object parameter that specifies the number of additional
|
||
|
|
attempts PSF will make to establish an APPC or TCP/IP session. When PSF is
|
||
|
|
sharing a PSF directly-attached printer with other PSF sessions, you might
|
||
|
|
want to set the value to *NOMAX. This specifies that PSF will continue trying
|
||
|
|
to obtain a session. The default value for the RETRY parameter is 15.
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
RETRY parameter is helpful for TCP/IP-attached printers in this situation:
|
||
|
|
You want to share an AFCCU™ printer with more than three PSFs. A printer is temporarily
|
||
|
|
unavailable when PSF tries to open a session with it. You might have seen
|
||
|
|
this when PSF failed to start a printer session. One example of this is when
|
||
|
|
PSF issues message PQT3603 with error code 22 or 15. The RETRY parameter specifies
|
||
|
|
that instead of ending PSF should retry to open a session with the printer.
|
||
|
|
PSF will try to open a session up to the number of times specified.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">RETRYDLY</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>PSF configuration object parameter that specifies the number of seconds
|
||
|
|
to wait between each retry attempt to establish a session. This parameter
|
||
|
|
is used only when PSF is using an SNA attachment. The default value for the
|
||
|
|
RETRYDLY parameter is 90.
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">RLSTMR</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Timer set in the PSF configuration object. Its value is referenced by
|
||
|
|
the ACTRLSTMR parameter. The default setting is *NOMAX, which means that PSF
|
||
|
|
does not release the session or dialog with the printer until the writer is
|
||
|
|
ended.
|
||
|
|
<p>The value specified for parameter RESTRTMR determines when PSF re-establishes
|
||
|
|
a session or a dialog.</p>
