Re: Spool file download

On sort of the same subject, have any of you on V5R3 who are also using iSeries 
Access V5R3 noticed that it takes longer to drag & drop a spool file to your PC?

I believe I noticed a significant slowdown when copying several hundred page 
spool files to my PC at home over a VPN cable connection. I'm talking like 
several times slower - although one would probably not notice it on smaller 
files or on your PC on the office LAN.

Anybody else notice this at V5R3? I have SI15176 installed.
(now that it's been a while, it doesn't really bother me anymore but it did at 
first - I think I have become used to it)

Thanks,
-Marty

Several dozen ways.

For a nice interactive way you could use iSeries Access.  It has a nice 
GUI drag/drop for copying spool files on to your PC.

It's part of iSeries Navigator.  I use this all the time to send joblogs 
to IBM.

IBM has a product called infoprint server that can create PDF's of spool 
files.  These can be stored in the IFS, sent out automatically as email, 
etc.

Others have like products.
