How to Set PSS Site and Session Options

The Print Subsystem (PSS) has two interrelated sets of options that affect the way print files are managed or processed:

• PSS site options set site defaults for print files. After the value of a PSS site option is changed, the new value is the default for every new session. Only someone with PSS administrator authorization can change a PSS site option.
• PSS session options are a subset of the PSS site options, but session options affect only an individual session. If you use CA Ideal, you can specify values for PSS session options. The session options you specify are only in effect during the life of your session.

If you want all of your sessions to have session option values that differ from site option defaults, you must either respecify your PSS session options each time you sign in to CA Ideal or include commands that specify your PSS session option values in a member that is automatically executed each time you sign in to CA Ideal.

Any SCF-based product can use the PSS component: Enter PS in the options parameter of the SC00TRAN entry definition of the SCF-based product.
