The Remote Spooling Feature (Process SYSOUT) › Basics of JES Spool Use › Overview—Sending Reports with PSO › Setup

Setup

The following criteria are required for setting up CA XCOM Data Transport to send reports with PSO:

• There must be a destination member of TYPE=DEST defined and enabled for the remote partner. The destination member must contain one of the following:
  • DEST=XCOM
  • WRITER=XCOM

    In the following sample, XCOM represents the dest name or writer name that is specified for the report on the JES Spool. An SNA address, IP address, or IP name can be specified in the dest member.

• The report must be queued to match the dest or writer name specified in the destination member. It can be queued using an IEBGENER job or any other program that can queue the reports with the correct WRITER or DEST (samples provided).
• If the destination is a TCP/IP destination, then TCPSESS must be set to at least 2.
• Security must permit CA XCOM Data Transport to access the reports on the spool.

Notes:

• By default, CA XCOM Data Transport automatically starts a PSO subtask to transfer JES spool files. It queries the JES spool at regular intervals (the number of seconds specified in the JESINTV parameter in XCOMDFLT) to see if there are any spool files that need to be transferred. If the PSO feature is not being used, the parameter PSO=NO can be specified on the EXEC PARM statement of the CA XCOM Data Transport server JCL. This prevents the starting of the PSO subtask and eliminates the overhead associated with checking for spool files to be transferred.
• Report transfers are single-threaded. Only one report is sent to each destination per scan of the spool.
• The MAXRPTB parameter in the default table specifies the maximum block size in bytes that CA XCOM Data Transport uses to write reports on the spool.
• Temporary report data sets are written according to the PSOVOL and PSOUNIT specified in the default table and start with a high level qualifier specified by PSOPREF in the default table.
• If PSOSECUR=YES, EXIT05 is called.
• The PSODISP parameter in the default table specifies what happens to the temporary report data set on the JES Spool if the report cannot be delivered. If PSODISP=KEEP, these temporary data sets are retained if there is a problem. If PSODISP=DELETE, these temporary data sets are deleted if there is a problem and the report must be requeued to try again.
• The PSOCKPT parameter in the default table allows you to specify different checkpoint values for the report transfer. The default value is 1000. Turn off checkpointing by specifying PSOCKPT=0. You can override the value by specifying PSOCKPT in the dest member.
