Summary of Sample Packages
Table 1 describes the sample packages and the type of exit facility that is demonstrated. For more information about these samples, including file names and installation locations, see the RSCS program directory.
For information about other sample exit routines supplied with
RSCS, see:
| Package Name | Function | Exit Facility |
|---|---|---|
| Spool manager command echoing (SAC) | Views the CP commands issued by the RSCS spool manager task. | Exit 24, Exit 25, Exit 29 |
| Back-to-back RSCS configuration (SBK) | Create multiple RSCS virtual machines on one node. | Exit 0, Exit 21, Exit 24 |
| Secondary RSCS list processor (SBURST) | Creates two RSCS virtual machines to handle processing on LISTPROC-type links. | Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 19, Exit 21, Exit 24 |
| Selective file filter (SFF) | Purge undesired files from the network or route them to a security machine. | Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 15, Exit 21, Exit 29 |
| Shift-based file limiting (SFL) | Prevents large files from being transmitted during a specific time. This package, which is shown in Example 1: Defining Printing Shifts, also uses the RSCS event scheduler. | Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 31, Exit 33 |
| Note selection and modification (SNM) | Modify the note produced by the NOTIFY link driver. | Exit 22, Exit 23 |
| NOTIFY link driver purge (SNS) | Prevent class H files from being purged from a NOTIFY-type link. | Exit 36 |
| Path Alias map processing and PAPATH command (SPA) | View the RSCS routing network as defined on your local node and the routing defined on each other RSCS node in the network. | Exit 0, Exit 29 |
| File queue aging (SQA) | Determine the order by which files are sent on a link; the selection criteria can be determined by the size of the file or the time it has been waiting on the link queue. | Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 3, Exit 26, Exit 31, Exit 33, Exit 34 |
| REMOVE command (SRMVEX) | Creates a new command that enables the RSCS operator to transfer files away from the RSCS virtual machine. | Exit 21, Exit 29 |
| SHOW and PATH command (SSH) | Creates new commands to display information about the RSCS network. SHOW displays files queued for a specific node; PATH displays the path to a node. | Exit 29 |
| Sample TYPE command (STY) | Creates a CMS-like TYPE command for RSCS authorized operators; this routine is shown in Example 3: Creating a New Command. | Exit 29 |
| Separator pages (SSP) | Modify the printer separator pages produced by RSCS; functions let you create an 80-column output per line or highlight variable fields. | Exit 17, Exit 18 |
| Sample GPI link driver (GPSAMP) | Enable two RSCS virtual machines on the same processor to communicate through IUCV. This sample also enables RSCS virtual machines on different processors to communicate using an IUCV path through a VM/Pass-Through Facility network. | Gateway programming interface |
| Gateway security modifications (GSM) | Enables installations to control the data traffic through the RSCS virtual machine. | Gateway programming interface, Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 14, Exit 15, Exit 19, Exit 21, Exit 29, Exit 32 |
| Set Greenwich Mean Time offset (SSI) | Correct the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset value for the RSCS virtual machine; this package is required on many systems to ensure that the RSCS event scheduler works properly. | Exit 0 |
| Simple security package (SSS) | Limit file traffic on a specific link to a specific user IDs or limit the use of RSCS on the local node to specific users. | Exit 0, Exit 1, Exit 14, Exit 15, Exit 19, Exit 21, Exit 32 |
| MESSAGER link driver (SMS) | Writes messages, accounting information, and statistics into a file and sends the file to a specified user ID or output device. | Loadable link driver, Exit 0, Exit 27 |
| Console logging and screening (SMG) | Suppress or send RSCS console messages to a MESSAGER-type link. | Loadable link driver, Exit 0, Exit 27 |
| Simple accounting package (SAS) | Create accounting records and send them on a MESSAGER-type link to be printed. | Loadable link driver, Exit 2, Exit 3, Exit 4, Exit 5 |
| Statistics-gathering (SST) | Creates a 120-byte record for each file sent by a link and send the record to a MESSAGER-type link. Each record contains file statistics, such as: origin, destination, size, and transmission times. | Loadable link driver, Exit 0, Exit 3, Exit 21 |
| Host transfer agent link driver (STR) | Transfer files to a specific server machine, while retaining the RSCS store-and-forward tag. | Loadable link driver |
| Virtual printer link driver (SVP) | Send files to a specific server machine to perform special processing. | Loadable link driver |
