Step 1: Define JES2 Initialization Statements

The following example shows JES2 initialization statements for a CA View FSS archiver. Place these statements in the JES2 PARMLIB or a SYS1.PARMLIB.

Sample FSS Definition

FSSDEF(VBRMFVC)
PROC=CBRMSFVC
AUTOSTOP=YES PRINTER(15)
FSS=VBRMFVC,PRMODE=(LINE),
MODE=FSS,CLASS=AJQ,DRAIN,ROUTECDE=(R15),NOSEP,WS=(PRM,Q,R)

JES2 Initialization Statements

This section explains the JES2 initialization statements used in the definition of a CA View FSS archiver. For more information about JES2 statements, see the IBM JES2 initialization and tuning publication for your operating system.

FSSDEF Statement

The FSSDEF initialization statement defines an FSS to JES2. The FSSDEF statement is associated with one or more PRTnnnn statements that define each archiver FSA.

The FSSDEF initialization parameter is optional, but recommended. If it is omitted, JES2 generates a default for that archiver.

For a description of all of the FSSDEF parameters, see the IBM JES2 initialization and tuning publication for your operating system.

The FSSDEF statement contains the following parameters:

FSSNAME

Specifies the unique 1- to 8-character name of an FSS.

When you start the first CA View FSS archiver that has an FSA definition for that FSS, an FSS address space is created for the archiver. The FSS interface manages this FSS and the archival FSA for the first FSS archiver. If you start a second archiver with an FSA definition for the same FSS, the FSS interface then manages a separate FSA for the second archival FSA in that FSS.

The FSSNAME parameter is required.

Under JES2, each FSS can support a maximum of 24 FSAs. The actual number of FSAs per FSS depends on several factors, such as the size of resources used in the print jobs and the available virtual storage.

PROC

Specifies a procedure for starting the CA View FSS.

The procedure, which must be defined before that FSS is started, is a member of either SYS1.PROCLIB or a library concatenated to SYS1.PROCLIB.

Different FSSDEF initialization parameters can refer to the same startup procedure.

AUTOSTOP

Stops (shuts down) the FSS address space if all of the devices attached to the FSS are drained.

HASPFSSM

Specifies the 1- to 8-character name of the load module that is loaded into the PSF FSS address space This load module contains the various JES2-supplied FSI service routines.

For FSS, specify the default value:

(HASPFSSM = HASPFSSM).

PRINTER(nnnn) Statement

A PRINTER(nnnn) statement, which is required to define each FSA, is associated with an FSSDEF statement. Each archival FSA must have a unique PRINTER(nnnn) name. This unique PRINTER(nnnn) name must match the label on the device parameter DD statement in the procedure for starting the CA View FSS Collector.

The PRINTER(nnnn) parameters define JES2 default values. The JES2 PRINTER(nnnn) statement contains the following parameters:

CLASS

Specifies the output class to be used for selecting data sets to be archived.

The CLASS parameter is only needed when Q is specified as a work selection (WS) criterion.

DRAIN|START DRAIN

Specifies that the archiver can be started by operator command.

START

Specifies that the archiver is started automatically when JES2 begins processing.

FSS

Specifies the FSS for the archiver and must match the value coded for an FSSNAME parameter for the corresponding FSSDEF statement.

The FSS parameter is required.

MODE

Specifies that the printer is managed by an FSS (MODE=FSS).

The MODE parameter is required.

PRMODE

Specifies the processing mode used for selecting data sets to be archived

The PRMODE parameter is only needed when PRM is specified as a work selection (WS) criterion.

NOSEP

Specifies that no separator pages are produced.

TRKCELL=YES

Specifies that track-cell de-spooling is used with this printer.

ROUTECDE

Specifies the route code used for selecting data sets to be archived,

The ROUTECDE parameter is only needed when R is specified as a work selection (WS) criterion.

FORMS

Specifies the form identifier used for selecting data sets for archival.

The FORMS parameter is only needed when F is specified as a work selection (WS) criterion.

WRITER

Specifies the writer name used for selecting data sets for archival.

The WRITER parameter is only needed when W is specified as a work selection (WS) criterion.

WS

Specifies the work selection criteria for archival.

Examples of WS are:

WS=(PRM),PRMODE=LINE

Selects all data sets having a process mode of LINE.

WS=(Q),CLASS=S

Selects all data sets having a SYSOUT class of S.
