Managing and Administering Print Services

This section describes how to establish and manage the CA Ideal print environment (also called the Print Subsystem or PSS) and the administration of print services. The print environment includes the facilities to process, route, and manage outputs.

Commands for using the print facilities of CA Ideal include:

• Commands to initiate output requests.
• Command to display the status of an output request.
• Command to delete an output.
• Command to display output destinations.
• Commands to perform many of the above functions for other users' outputs.
• Commands to define or alter print destinations.
• Commands to set options for the print environment.
• Command to define the master or another user's JOBCARD.

Output destination definitions are stored in a member in ADROUT, which is used to create an on-line destination table. When CICS is started, PSS checks for the destination table. If it does not exist, the table is created from the destination definitions stored in ADROUT. To enter destination definitions in the ADROUT member, use the DEFINE OUTPUT DESTINATION command.
