Spooler If you use DSNM to monitor the Spooler subsystem, you will find the following
information helpful. While it covers what you need to know about Spooler from the
viewpoint of operating DSNM, it is not exhaustive. For more details on the Spooler
subsystem, refer to the Spooler Utilities Reference Manual.
Object Types The Spooler subsystem contains only one object type, DEV, which corresponds to
devices. Consequently, the object type does not need to be specified with the Spooler.
