Job Setup 
and Initialization Files

Job Setup Files

Each print job requires a profile, a job set and resource set file. The job profile 
defines the print job characteristics. The job set defines where the native job 
controls and data reside, and where the virtual data (VDD) files should be 
stored. For the Xerox input filter the job controls are the JDL and JSL. For the 
AFP input filter they are the form and page definitions. 

The resource set defines the directories where the native resources (electronic 
forms, fonts, images) reside. Each resource has a separate directory entry and 
an entry specifying the file extension which they have been given. The 
resource set also defines the location where the converted virtual resources 
(VDO, VDF, VDI) will be placed. 

All profiles, resource set, and job set files reside in the subdirectories of 
VISTA_DATA. You can identify them easily with their file extensions. 
Profiles have the file extension 

.

PRF, resources set files have the extension

.

RST, and job set files have the extension

 .

JST.

Do not modify any job setup files unless you are the key 
operator or system administrator. To edit any profiles or setup 
files, you must have access to the OS/2 operating system.

All setup files contain keyword statements. A keyword statement has the 
following format:

Keyword option can take on either a value, path name, file name, or text 
string. The path name indicates where VISTA can get its data or program. A 
text string (enclosed with quotation marks) usually describes the function or 
provides information about a Client.

Before you create or edit any setup files, review the following samples to get 
familiar with the functions and the values of the keywords.

For detailed information on how to create a new job or keyword statements, 
refer to the VISTA User’s Guide (publication number 

VISUSR_R24

).
