Processing CA Spool Files

CA Spool performs the physical retrieval of spool files transparently, and distributes the logical records to you through one of the associated interfaces:

• Spool files are printed on VTAM-controlled remote printer devices through the VTAM interface, or the GDDM interface.
• Spool files are printed on AFP printers through the PSF interface.
• Spool files are printed on TCP/IP-connected printers through the TCP/IP interface.
• Spool files are routed to the primary spooling system JES2 or JES3 through the ESFTOJES file transfer interface. This allows spool files to be printed on a printer controlled by the primary spooling system.
• Spool files can be routed to other NJE nodes for processing through the NJE interface.
• Spool files can be submitted through an internal reader for batch execution, either through the ESFTOJES file transfer interface, or through the NJE interface.
• Spool files are made available to application programs through the Call interface.
• Spool files are made available to application programs as SYSIN data sets through the SUBSYS interface.
• Spool files are sent through Email, FTP, CA XCOM, and Sterling Commerce's Connect:Direct to user specified recipients or locations.
