Specifying object container libraries in UNIX files
Data object resources, including color management resources
(CMRs), that are installed with resource access tables (RATs) are
stored in the printer, inline in the print data set, or in object
container path libraries in UNIX files
(HFS or zFS files). PSF uses z/OS® UNIX System Services to access data
object resources in path libraries specified in the OBJCPATH parameter
on the PRINTDEV statement of the PSF startup procedure or the USERPATH
parameter on the OUTPUT JCL statement.
Note:
PSF only supports
the OBJCPATH parameter in deferred-printing mode and on printers that
support Unicode. See your printer documentation to determine whether
your printer supports Unicode.
To specify object container path libraries for RAT-installed data
object resources, you or the system administrator must perform these
steps:
- Use a resource installer program, such as the InfoPrint AFP Resource Installer
(Program Number 5639-EE2) to install data object resources in path
libraries. The resource installer creates RATs, in the appropriate
resource directories, that map the data objects to a path and file
name that PSF can access.
Notes:
- Be sure the resource installer is set up with the correct permissions
to access the path libraries.
- If you are using PSF with z/OS V2R1, a resource installer program is not necessary
because the z/OS Font Collection
contains prebuilt RATs for TrueType and OpenType fonts that are installed
during the z/OS V2R1 installation.
For more information about the z/OS Font
Collection, see z/OS Font Collection.
- Identify the path libraries where the resources are found:
- Identify the system object container path libraries in the PSF
startup procedure with the OBJCPATH parameter on the PRINTDEV statement.
See PSF for z/OS: Customization.
- Identify user path libraries with the USERPATH parameter on the
OUTPUT JCL statement. See USERPATH.
- Use z/OS UNIX System Services to set access permissions to
the directories and files in the user path and object container path
libraries. PSF must have read permissions set for each path directory
and file it is accessing. If the permissions for each directory or
file are not set correctly, PSF cannot access the path library. For
more information about z/OS UNIX System Services, see z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
