In your Xerox environment, you have two printers
that use a starting environment that specifies the DPLJDL JDL, and
the STRTON JDE. The names of the Xerox printers are PRT1 and PRT2,
and they are defined as JES local printers. Their work selection criteria
are identical: WS=(Q). Their class definitions
are also the same: CLASS=P. Complete these steps
to replicate this environment in a combined Infoprint XT and IP PrintWay installation:
- If you are using IP PrintWay Basic
mode, create a new JES local printer that can be your JES IP PrintWay local
printer. This is an FSS printer, with the appropriate name for the
IP PrintWay™ subsystem specified
through the FSS parameter of the PRT(nnnnn) statement.
See z/OS Infoprint Server Customization for
further information about creating the IP PrintWay FSS
and FSA. Configure CLASS=P, and WS=(Q),
so that the parameter values match the settings that you specified
for your Xerox printers.
If you are using IP PrintWay Extended, then you do not need
to configure CLASS=P or WS in
JES for the printer. Instead, create a job selection rule in the Printer
Inventory so that IP PrintWay
selects jobs that specify CLASS=P. See z/OS Infoprint Server Customization for
procedures to create job selection rules for IP PrintWay.
- Create a printer definition in the Printer Inventory that can
be your PSF for z/OS printer.
Record the name you give the printer definition. You use it when you
define the IP PrintWay LPR
printer in the next step. Use the procedure described in Creating a PSF for z/OS printer definition with routing information. You need to specify a new value
for the CLASS parameter in the allocation section. For example, you
might want to use a value of N. This printer
definition applies the CLASS value to the job, prior to placing the
job back on the spool. This is the method through which you associate
the job with the JES PSF local printers, which you create in a later
step.
- Create a printer definition in the Infoprint
Server Printer
Inventory, that can be your IP PrintWay LPR
printer. Use the procedure described in Creating an IP PrintWay printer definition.
In this example, you would specify:
- A value of P for the CLASS parameter when
you complete the Allocation section.
- In the Protocol section, the name that
you specify in the Print queue name field is
the name of your PSF for z/OS printer,
specified in the previous step. By using the transform that Infoprint XT manages,
this printer definition actually invokes the conversion process that
creates the AFP version of the Xerox job.
- Create a transform parameter mapping file with these entries.
Because you submit all of the jobs with a CLASS of P,
you can omit CLASS information, which improves performance:
#-----------------------------------------------------#
# Set the default for all jobs #
#-----------------------------------------------------#

-x'xjdl=dpljdl xjde=strton'
See Creating a custom parameter mapping file for detailed information about
mapping files.
- Create a new JES local printer for each of your Infoprint printers.
Configure CLASS=N, and WS=(Q),
so that these printers process the AFP jobs placed on the spool by
the PSF for z/OS printer.
- Ensure that you have updated the PSF startup procedure. See PSF for z/OS: Customization.
This is a separate procedure, and these definitions are not JES local
printers, or printer definitions in the Infoprint
Server Printer
Inventory.
