Streams used by the pdxtloadres command

The pdxtloadres command uses some file descriptors while it processes Xerox resources and ignores others:

fd0 (STDIN)
The command does not use this stream.
fd1 (STDOUT)
The command does not use this stream.
fd2 (STDERR)
The command writes messages to this stream.
fd3
If you define this stream, the command writes one record for each resource that it successfully loads or deletes. The command always reports the resource name in lowercase characters, such as p0612c.fnt.
fd8
The default is that Infoprint XT appends information about the resource load process and the resource delete process to the pdxtloadres.log file, which is in the directory for the resource group. If you define this stream, the command redirects the information to this file descriptor. Infoprint XT automatically defines this stream when you process jobs that contain FILE DJDE commands that specify the D storage parameter. These are temporary resources; Infoprint XT loads the resources and then deletes them when the job finishes. Frequently processing jobs that specify temporary resources through FILE DJDE commands can cause the size of the log file to increase at a faster rate. Infoprint XT does not delete the pdxtloadres.log file from the directory for the resource group.
Note: Infoprint XT writes the output from file descriptor eight to the pdxtloadres.log file in the working directory for the job. This file contains the names of the resources that Infoprint XT loaded and deleted.

See /var/pdxt/resources/common/pdxtloadres.log file for more information.

fd9
The command writes a file that contains problem determination information to file descriptor nine. It uses the z/OS® pax command to generate a compressed archive of the resource directory. The archive is in USTAR format.
