Re: PSF printer

Isn't it the other way 'round? The operator "tells" the printer to print output matching ceratin criteria, such as FORMS ($tprtxyz FORMS=FORM1). This effectively tells JES to only reply to PSF's "is-there anything-I-can-print"-inquiries with output that has FORMS=FORM1. When there is no more outp

IBM countersues Neon over zPrime accelerator

http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2010/01/29/ibm_countersues_neon/ With mainframe revenues off sharply and likely to be so until the System z11 mainframes ship much later this year, IBM can ill afford to look the other way as Neon Software peddles its zPrime tool for offloading mainframe workload

FSS Printers in JES2

I had a problem this weekend when operations installed a new INFO Print 4000 printer. The $ADDFSS was good The $ADDPRT was good But when they finally got to testing the printer they got a FSS Failed to Connect. It looks like we missed a Dataset for the PSF printer that is coded on the

The ARC1151I indicates that there was another DFHSM function active for this dataset. The DFHSM Log or PDA may have some additional information. I am not sure that SMF would be helpful. Look at ALL DFHSM STCs to see if perhaps a recall and backup or dump were occurring at the same time for this
