When
x2afpd keeps problem determination or
listing output, it uses this file naming convention:
jobname-jobid-n.ext-timestamp
Where:
- jobname
- Indicates the z/OS job name.
- jobid
- Indicates the z/OS job identifier.
- n
- Indicates a sequence number that x2afpd uses
to keep the file name unique when the job name and job identifier
are not unique.
- ext
- Indicates the file extension. For problem determination output,
the extension is dbg. For listing output, the
extension is lst.
- timestamp
- Indicates the file expiration time, which is expressed in terms
of the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, 1 January, 1970. This
component of the file name exists only when a retention period was
in effect when x2afpd created the file.
Note: The
file expiration time denotes when a file is eligible for removal. Infoprint XT removes
it the next time the x2afpd cleanup process runs.
The cleanup process itself is not timer driven, so some files might
exist for some period of time after the retention period expires.
