<h4 id="rzalusplfiasp">Spooled files in independent ASPs</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>Spooled files can be stored in output queues that are located in independent
|
||
|
|
disk pools (also known as independent auxiliary storage pools or independent
|
||
|
|
ASPs).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The creator of the spooled file must make sure the output queue to be selected
|
||
|
|
is on the independent ASP that is wanted. This can be managed several ways
|
||
|
|
such as through the printer file, job attribute, job description, or user
|
||
|
|
profile.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The creator of the spooled file should make sure that a change of the name
|
||
|
|
space (a set of libraries to which a job can resolve) does not occur during
|
||
|
|
the creation of the spooled file. The printer writer must be started from
|
||
|
|
a job with the independent ASP as part of its name space (job was started
|
||
|
|
with INLASPGRP set to independent ASP or user has done SETASPGRP independent
|
||
|
|
ASP to get independent ASP in its name space) in order for the printer writer
|
||
|
|
to use that independent ASP and process the spooled files.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the name space does change and the independent ASP the spooled file
|
||
|
|
is being created on gets varied off (this would occur if a name space change
|
||
|
|
was made and the reservation on the independent ASP was gone), then put and
|
||
|
|
close errors could occur. This could also contribute to data inaccuracies
|
||
|
|
in spool internal information. These inaccuracies would be fixed when the
|
||
|
|
independent ASP is varied back on. Since the recovery of this condition is
|
||
|
|
done in a background job, users will see some inconsistencies for those spooled
|
||
|
|
files until the QSPMN<span class="italic">xxxxx</span> server job is able to finish
|
||
|
|
the operation. If the independent ASP is not varied off, creation of the spooled
|
||
|
|
file should be able to continue without any trouble.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The QSPMN<span class="italic">xxxxx</span> job is responsible for clearing
|
||
|
|
unused DB members for deleted spooled files, automatic removal of DB members
|
||
|
|
that have not been reused within the days specified on the Automatically clean
|
||
|
|
up unused printer output storage (QRCLSPLSTG) system value, and movement of
|
||
|
|
stranded spooled files onto the output queue QSPRCLOUTQ in the QRCL<span class="italic">xxxxx</span> library in the primary ASP when a damaged output queue is deleted
|
||
|
|
by a user. There is one QSPMN<span class="italic">xxxxx</span> system server job
|
||
|
|
for each ASP group that is varied on.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about reclaiming spooled storage space, see <a href="rzalureclaimsplf.htm#rzalureclaimsplf">Reclaim spooled file storage</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If a printer writer or job ends abnormally and causes a spooled file or
|
||
|
|
output queue to become unusable or left in an unstable state where some operations
|
||
|
|
are not permitted, the independent ASP must be varied off and then back on
|
||
|
|
again. Calling QSPFIXUP will not fix spooled files or output queues on independent
|
||
|
|
ASPs.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Spooled files placed into an independent ASP are automatically detached
|
||
|
|
from the job when the job ends and no spooled files for the job reside in
|
||
|
|
the system or basic user ASPs. You should ensure that all applications make
|
||
|
|
use of the spooled file identity values JOBSYSNAME and CRTDATE, including
|
||
|
|
specific date and time, to prevent duplicate spooled file or duplicate job
|
||
|
|
error messages. Note that when an independent ASP is moved from system A
|
||
|
|
to system B on a fail-over, the spooled files no longer have the original
|
||
|
|
jobs available to them (the spooled files have been detached from the job).
|
||
|
|
When the spooled files are detached, there is no operating system protection
|
||
|
|
from another job starting with same identity as a job that ran on system A.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />An independent ASP cannot be varied on if it contains a spooled
|
||
|
|
file that already exists on the system or basic user disk pools (*SYSBAS).
