Format of messages in the Infoprint Server common message log

Infoprint Server administrators can use the aoplogu command to select messages from the Infoprint Server common message log in a particular time range and copy them to a file or view them on the terminal. For information about the aoplogu command, see z/OS Infoprint Server Operation and Administration.

The aoplogu command returns messages in this format:

date time priority:level user:id [job:id] [system:name] [inventory:name] 
[filename:name] [dsn:name] [output_device:name] [job_selection_rule:name] 
[fsa:name] [luname:name] [jes_jobname:name] [program:name] msg:message

For example:

5/19/13 17:04:13 (UTC-7) priority:info user:OMVSID job:PS000469 
system:SYS1 inventory:AOP1 output_device:lpr://myprinter.xyz.com/RAW
program:aopoutd msg:AOP3613I The print job was completed successfully.

The optional items start with a tag that identifies them.

Field

Description

date

The date the message was written.

dsn

The fully qualified data set name that JES assigns. The document name is the last qualifier. The # symbol in the document name replaces any character that JES does not allow in a document name. For example, if the last 8 characters of the document name are file.lwp, this field contains FILE#LWP. This field might not contain the system ID, which is the first qualifier in a fully qualified data set name.

filename

The name of the file to be printed. Blanks are converted to an underscore (_).

fsa

The name of the JES functional subsystem application (FSA) for the PSF printer.

inventory

The name of the Printer Inventory.

jes_jobname

The job name, or the name of the job submitter or owner:

• For a batch job, the name of the job that created the print job.
• For print requests submitted from remote systems (such as Windows), the first 8 characters of the logon name used on the remote system. A # symbol in the name replaces a character (such as a period) that z/OS® does not allow in the job name.
• For print requests submitted from VTAM® applications (such as CICS® or IMS™), the owner name in the data stream, the default owner in the printer definition, or the name of the NetSpool startup procedure.

job

The job ID.

• A job ID with a PS prefix indicates that Infoprint Server created the output data set on the JES spool. (Your installation can specify a different job prefix in the job-prefix attribute in the Infoprint Server configuration file, aopd.conf, or the system configuration definition.)
• A job ID with a JOB, STC, or TSU prefix indicates that either JES or the Print Interface subsystem created the output data set on the JES spool.
• Job submitters can specify the sysout-job-id job attribute to override the job ID.

job_selection_rule

The name of an IP PrintWay™ job selection rule that IP PrintWay extended mode used to select the print job from the JES spool for processing.

luname

The NetSpool logical unit (LU) name for the printer.

msg

The message number and text.

output_device

An identifier of the IP PrintWay extended mode printer where the print job printed or is scheduled to print, in one of these formats:

direct_sockets://hostname:port

The hostname and port number of the IP PrintWay printer.

lpr://hostname/queue

The hostname and print queue name of the IP PrintWay printer.

mailto:

An indication that the output data set is to be sent to an email destination.

vtam://luname

The VTAM logical unit (LU) name of the IP PrintWay printer.

uri

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) server running in the printer. Examples are:

ipp://myprinter.xyz.com

http://myprinter.xyz.com:631

fsa_name

The name of the JES functional subsystem application (FSA) for the PSF printer.

priority

The severity of the message:

action

A terminating situation occurred.

error

An error occurred.

info

warning

A warning situation occurred.

program
