IP PrintWay basic mode FSS definitions

In an IP PrintWay™ basic mode FSS definition you can specify configuration information that applies to all functional subsystem applications (FSAs) in the IP PrintWay FSS. You can define one IP PrintWay FSS definition for each FSS that your installation has defined to JES.

In the FSS definition you can specify this information:

• The name of the TCP/IP startup procedure
• The language IP PrintWay basic mode uses for messages
• The type of tracing to start for each FSA and the size of tracing tables
• The number of hiperspace blocks each FSA can use
• Whether IP PrintWay basic mode is to use the standard TCP/IP translation table to convert data from EBCDIC to ASCII
• The default document code page that IP PrintWay basic mode uses when it converts data from an EBCDIC code page to the printer's code page
• The VTAM® ID of the application program that IP PrintWay basic mode uses to transmit data to a VTAM-controlled printer

Creating IP PrintWay FSS definitions is optional unless your installation plans to print on VTAM-controlled printers. If your installation plans to print on VTAM-controlled printers, you must specify the ID of the application program you defined to VTAM for IP PrintWay. If an IP PrintWay FSS definition is not created when IP PrintWay starts, IP PrintWay uses default values for the other attributes you can specify in an FSS definition.

If you create an FSS definition after the FSS has started or if you change any information in the FSS definition, you must restart the IP PrintWay FSS to pick up the changes.
