PPR/PPD Printing - IPDS data streams
Important:
Before you Begin In order to use the Axis Network Print Server to print IPDS data using
TCP/IP as the transport protocol, the following software must be installed
and configured on your MVS:
• PSF/MVS Version 2 release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.
• MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 to support the two new
PRINTDEV
keywords:
IPADDR and PORTNO.
• TCP/IP version 3 release 1, or higher
Configuration
Procedures
The configuration procedures presented in this section are divided into
seven separate steps:
1. Specifying the TCP/IP address space name
2. Defining the MVS control unit
3. Modifying the TCP/IP profile on your MVS system, if necessary
4. Configuring the Axis Network Print Server
5. Verifying the communication between the Axis Network Print Server and
the IBM Mainframe
6. Defining the Axis Network Print Server as a writer-controlled printer to JES
7. Defining the printer to PSF with a
PRINTDEV statement, including the IP
address and port number.
Specifying the TCP/IP
Address Space Name
To specify a TCP/IP address space name you should enter the following
EXEC statement in the appropriate PSF writer procedure:
where
tcpip_name is the name of the TCP/IP address space. If this
parameter is not coded, PSF uses the default name
TCPIP. For a full
description of the
PARM parameter refer to IBM’s user documentation
covering the print service facility.
Defining the
MVS Control Unit
If you have not already done so, you must define the communications
control unit, e.g. the 3172 control unit or the 3745 control unit, to MVS.
The tool to use is dependent on your MVS version:
• When using a version earlier than MVS 4.1.0, you should use an MVS
Configuration Program (MVSCP).
• When using a version of MVS 4.1.0 or higher, you can use a HardWare
Configuration Definition (HCD) or an MVSCP.
IPDS is only available for print server models with the IPDS option installed. Please refer to
“Protocols and Datastreams” on page 9.
