Purpose

The ARSODF program is the primary ODF processing program.

The ARSODF program is used to start and terminate ODF processing and to schedule individual distributions for processing, based on the parameters you specify.

Run the ARSODF program only on the library server.

IBM i only:On IBM® i, the ARSODF program runs in the QSHELL environment. The ARSODF program requires the QIBM_MULTI_THREADED environment variable to be set to a value of 'Y' which can be done by using the following command:
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_MULTI_THREADED) VALUE('Y') LEVEL(*xxx) where *xxx is either *SYS or *JOB. For more information about environment variables and using the QSHELL environment, see the Content Manager OnDemand for i Common Server Administration Guide.

The ARSODF program replaces the programs that are used for ODF processing in previous versions:
  • Windows only:Linux only:AIX only:On Multiplatforms servers, the ARSODF program replaces the ARSRD program.
  • z/OS only:On z/OS®, the ARSODF program replaces the ARSRMAIN, ARSBDIST, and ARSRDFGO programs, depending on the parameters you specify.

For more information, see Running ODF before you use the ARSODF program.
