Specifying a default user ID and job attribute prefix

To specify the default owner of printed output, or to identify job attributes embedded in print data, you can specify these fields in each printer definition:

• Default owner:

  The default Infoprint Server job owner for the associated LU if the print data does not specify an owner. The job owner is used for output data sets created for this NetSpool LU. In addition:

  • The Infoprint Server job owner can help you find jobs using Infoprint Central.
  • The job owner in this field is also used as the JES job name if no other owner or job name is specified in the print data.
  • The job owner specified in this field is not used as the JES job owner. The JES job owner is always the ID of the user who started the Infoprint Server daemons.

  If this field is blank, the default job owner is the ID of the user who started the NetSpool daemon aopnetd.

• Embedded attributes prefix:

  The prefix that identifies job attributes embedded in the print data. For information about how to embed job attributes in VTAM® application print data, see z/OS Infoprint Server User’s Guide. NetSpool uses the embedded job attributes when it allocates an output data set on the spool.

  If this field is blank, NetSpool does not use job attributes specified in the print data. If this field contains a value, print jobs that do not contain embedded job attributes are not affected.

  Tip:

  Do not use embedded job attributes if you specify the Timer end-of-file rule. Results can be unpredictable.
