Viewing IP PrintWay basic mode messages

IP PrintWay™ basic mode writes a message to the IP PrintWay message-log data set when it receives a data set from JES, when IP PrintWay successfully or unsuccessfully transmits the data set to the target printer or email destination, and when IP PrintWay releases the data set to JES. Also, IP PrintWay writes other messages to this data set, and IP PrintWay installation exits can write messages to this data set.

The messages wrap around to the beginning when the data set becomes full. The timestamp preceding each message indicates when IP PrintWay wrote the message. IP PrintWay writes a string containing equal signs, ========, at the end of the last message written.

Your installation can write an IP PrintWay Message exit to suppress unwanted messages from the message-log data set. For more information, see z/OS Infoprint Server Customization.

To view the messages:

1. Start an Infoprint Server ISPF session.

   For information about how to start an Infoprint Server ISPF session, see Starting the ISPF session and configuring the panels.
