Stopping an FSA (basic mode)

Use these JES2 or JES3 commands to stop an IP PrintWay™ FSA. The FSA stops after transmitting the current data set and data sets already selected for transmission.

JES2: $Pfsa_name[,fsa_name ... ]

Replace fsa_name with one of these:

• In JES2, the name of the JES PRTnnnnn statement. For example, PRT123.
• In JES3, the name in the JNAME parameter of the JES DEVICE statement.

The *VARY command makes the FSA unavailable for transmitting data sets but lets the current data set finish. The *CANCEL command stops the FSA.

Processing of data sets retained on JES spool or waiting to be retried (basic mode)

When you stop an FSA, IP PrintWay releases to JES all data sets that have been retained after successful or unsuccessful transmission to the printer and all data sets that are waiting to be retried. These data sets can be processed by another IP PrintWay FSA or can be reselected by the same IP PrintWay FSA when the FSA is restarted.

IP PrintWay saves routing, retry, and retention information when it releases a data set to JES. When IP PrintWay reselects a data set that has already been processed, IP PrintWay uses the saved information to resume processing at the correct point. IP PrintWay retransmits the data set if the retry limit has not yet been reached and deletes the data set from the JES spool if the retention time has expired.

After an IP PrintWay FSA stops and releases data sets to JES, you can use JES commands and other spool management products (such as SDSF) to modify the output class, form name, and destination of the released data sets. IP PrintWay, however, does not use the new class, form name, or destination to locate a new printer definition. Instead, IP PrintWay uses the saved routing information.
