Moving ACIF Data

Advanced Function Printing Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF) report data is carried through CA Deliver with its relevant attributes (including GROUP ID) for use by the SARFSS started task. There are several ways to pass ACIF data to the SARFSS started task.

There are several ways to pass ACIF data to the SARFSS started task:

Set relevant attributes (distribution ID, class, destination, and so on) so that the report is routed to the SARFSS task. Place an asterisk in the Banner field of the Report Definition Attributes panel so that the start and end banner pages are not added to the ACIF report.

• Use the Arch field on the Report Definition Attributes panel to archive a copy of the report directly to the CA View database for backup and later reprinting to the SARFSS started task.

  Note: In this situation, you cannot browse this report, since it is never indexed by SARFSS.

• Use the archive copy destined for the SARFSS started task instead of sending the report to the SARFSS started task, as described earlier, .

Note: CA Deliver report identifiers, which are used to identify SYSOUT, are displayed on all relevant panels in CA View.
