When an attempt is made to create a file for an unknown destination, CA Spool invokes Automatic Printer Definition to determine whether the destination must be added as a printer node to enable the file to be created.
This functionality requires that the parameter DESTVAL in the CA Spool parameter deck (ESFPARM) is set to DYNAMIC or DYNAPDIP.
Whenever APD is invoked, CA Spool searches for applicable printer attributes for the printer node to be added. In essence, it finds the DEFNODE definition with the best match between the actual destination name and the DEFNODE APDNODE= parameter value. You can wildcard the APDNODE parameter value. These DEFNODE printer attributes are then used to define the printer.
Any changes to DEFNODE statements in relation to dynamic printers can be activated by issuing a REINIT command.
If no match is found, the DEFNODE PRINTER statement is the model for the new node.
