How to Use Network Input with a Shared Database

If you use network input and share one database across more than one CPU in a shared JES spool environment, you must set initialization parameters NETCLSL, NETDEST, and NETFORM to unique values on each CPU.

Although network input is an alternative to pre-spool operation of CA Deliver, it is not recommended as a substitute for pre-spool operation because:

• Network input necessitates additional overhead because the reports must be both written to and read from the JES spool before CA Deliver can process them.
• There is a delay when CA Deliver processes reports--they are not normally available to CA Deliver until after the job that creates them is completed.
