Processes
Spooler FASTP Network Print Processes Manual — 427528-006
2 - 15
Configuring a FASTP Network Print Process in the
Spooler Subsystem
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTPSMB
is the name of the object code file.
BACKUP
2
specifies an alternate CPU in which the Spooler supervisor can start the
FASTP network print process if the primary processor fails. This parameter is
optional. The default value is -1, which specifies that the FASTP network print
process has no backup.
3. Designate a Spooler device name to represent each FASTP network printer,
associate each device name with a print process, and instruct the FASTP network
print process to read the FASTCNFG file. For example:
DEV $DEV1, PROCESS $PRNT1, PARM %2000
where
$DEV1
is the device name to be assigned to the printer.
$PRNT1
is the name of the FASTP network print process.
PARM %2000
indicates that bit 5 of the PARM bit mask has been set on. With the following
exception, this bit must be set to instruct the FASTP network print process to
read the FASTCNFG file. For FASTPTCP only, beginning with the G06.10 and
D48.02 RVUs, setting bit 5 is no longer required; the FASTCNFG/FASTKCON
files are always read.
Note.
Beginning with the G06.10 and D48.02 RVUs of FASTPTCP, you also can optionally
specify print process configuration parameters for FASTPTCP by adding a PARM attribute
to the PRINT command. For details, see
Defining a Spooler PRINT PARM Attribute
on
page 2-6 and
PRINT PARM Attribute
on page 3-10.
Note.
FASTP network print processes do not run as process pairs and only FASTPTCP
processes beginning with the G06.10 and D48.02 RVUs use the PARM parameter of the
PRINT command.
Note.
The DEV PARM attribute is a 16-bit mask that is expressed as either an octal or
decimal value. In this example, only bit 5 (%2000) has been set. If any other bits are set,
they must all be set by using one PARM entry. Do not use multiple PARM entries for one
device. If you set any of the other PARM bits on, the value specified will differ. For details
about the meaning of each DEV PARM bit, see the
Defining the Spooler DEV PARM
Attribute
on page 2-11
and the product-specific sections of this manual. For details about
how to calculate the DEV PARM value, see
Calculating the Value of the PARM Attributes
on page 2-13.
