Interpreting the job name, job ID, and user ID fields in the SMF type 6 record

Table 44 describes the contents of the SMF6JBN (job name), SMF6JBID (job ID), and SMF6USID (user ID) fields in the SMF type 6 record. The contents of these fields varies depending on how the print request was submitted to Infoprint Server and whether IP PrintWay™ or PSF writes the record. However, the contents are the same whether IP PrintWay basic mode or IP PrintWay extended mode writes the record.

Table 44. Contents of fields SMF6JBN, SMF6JBID, and SMF6USID in SMF type 6 record
If the print request was submitted in this way:	These SMF type 6 fields contain:

Batch job, including batch jobs that use the Print Interface subsystem or IP PrintWay basic mode resubmit for filtering function.	The name of the batch job.	The z/OS job ID assigned to the data set.	IP PrintWay: The z/OS user ID of the job submitter. PSF: The z/OS user ID of the user who started the Infoprint Server daemons.

Notes®: The Infoprint Server job ID starts with the 2–character job prefix specified in the Infoprint Server configuration file (aopd.conf) or in the system configuration definition. The default prefix is `PS`. The name of the remote job submitter in field SMF6JBN is in uppercase characters and might contain a #. A # replaces any character that JES does not allow in a job name. The name of the remote job submitter in field SMF6USID can be in uppercase and lowercase characters because the original case of the name is maintained. For print requests submitted from a Windows workstation, this is the Windows logon name. For print requests submitted with an LPR command, this is the value in the P control code in the LPD control file. The owner of a print job can be specified in the owner job attribute embedded in VTAM application data or in the Default owner field in the printer definition. The owner in both the SMF6JBN and SMF6USID fields is in uppercase characters.
