Modifying a transmission-queue entry (basic mode)

You can edit fields in a transmission-queue entry only if IP PrintWay™ is not currently transmitting the data set to its destination. That is, the status of the entry cannot be A (active). When you edit a field, the change takes effect immediately. If, for example, you change the address of the printer, IP PrintWay uses the new address when it next transmits the data set.

When you modify an entry whose name in the Route Name field is preceded by an asterisk, the asterisk indicates that the entry contains data for the first data set of the concatenation. Except for LPR options, changes you make to this entry affect all data sets in the concatenation. For example, if you change the retry time for an entry, the retry time is changed for all the data sets in the concatenation because all the data sets are sent together. Because IP PrintWay allows different LPR options for individual data sets of a concatenation, changes you make to the LPR options field apply only to the first data set of the concatenation.

Attention: While you are editing a queue entry, IP PrintWay does not transmit the data set or any other data sets scheduled for transmission to the same address. Therefore, make your changes and press the END function key as quickly as possible. If you take longer than 12 minutes, IP PrintWay proceeds with transmission of data sets to the destination.

You can do these tasks by modifying a queue entry:

Reroute a data set to a different print queue.

Retain the data sets on the JES spool for a shorter or longer time.

Expedite or delay the next retry attempt.

Increase or decrease the number of retry attempts.

Change the maximum document size and response timeout.

Change formatting options for the next transmission of the data set.

Change translation options for the next transmission of the data set.

To modify an entry:

List the entries to modify, as described in Listing transmission-queue entries (basic mode).

To save the queue entry, but maintain the panel on the screen, enter SAVE on the command line. You can now continue editing the entry:
- To save the options entry and exit the panel, press the END function key.
- To exit the panel without saving your changes, enter CANCEL on the command line.
