Re: Does we can sperate some group printer writer job to other than QSPL subsystem ? -- MIDRANGE-L

Hello, Vengoal

I'm suggesting that this should not be done. This i after reviewing the Work Management manual, to see if this is suggested. I found nothing there.

The spooling support is very tightly defined. There's a whole set of subsystem descriptions, job queues, job descriptions, classes, etc., that are used to manage this. It seems risky to change this too much. There's even a special shared pool, *SPOOL, for these jobs. And only one of those.

One area I saw that COULD be adjusted is the classes used for spooling. There are different job descriptions for each kind of spool (reader or writer, remote or local, data base, diskette, print, etc.). Each job descriptions has different RQSDTA values, thus pointing to different classes via routing entries. You COULD add pools to the QSPL subsystem description, then change the classes as you want. And you would normally put them into *SPOOL, anyway, so you gain little of anything - certainly no memory segregation. But you could put local writers one place, AFP writers in another, and remote writers in yet another. There are guidelines in the Work Management for the size you need for each kind of writer.

But any upgrade of the OS will probably change these back - but there are subsystem descriptions that are save in an upgrade and can be restored.

One thing you might consider - not sure I'd do this - is to change the paging value for QSPL to *CALC - this'd let the performance adjuster change the size of the pool as needed. Ours is *FIXED, so there may be a reason to leave it that way - e.g., the need to have rapid response when a writer needs to print something. Because printers are often inactive, *CALC may result in not enough memory at the time of need.

Dear all,
        I have about 360 printer writer job running in QSPL subsystem. I
want to divide those printer job to other than QSPL. The system default
set  those printer writer job to QSPL. How do I separate those printer
writer job to myself created subsystem ?
