administrator decides to use DPF to download the IPDS print jobs and resources used in them to InfoPrint Manager, where they are held until the print operators arrive. Because the resources used need to be kept secure (signatures), Save resources is turned off at the host receiver. Resources are deleted after the jobs print. Distributed print shop using remote spooling A data center prints a monthly series of in-house reports. The jobs that generate the output are run during the evening off-shift (so they do not interrupt other work during the day), then held on the system. The shop saves bandwidth costs by sending the print files once, then printing them at rated speed as many times as needed. Although this data center only has a 56 KB link, MVS Download prevents performance problems caused by inefficient line speed. MVS Download does not wait for the entire job to be spooled before starting to print it on a high-speed continuous forms printer. Because this shop wants to integrate all their print servers while retaining the ability to send jobs once and print them many times, the MVS Download feature of InfoPrint Manager best meets their needs by allowing them to control all jobs locally. Managing resources with MVS Download When you use the MVS Download function in InfoPrint Manager with AFP Download Plus for z/OS, all print resources must be installed on the Windows NT/Windows 2000 system where the InfoPrint Manager server is located in. You can manage these resources in one of three ways: v Download these resources to InfoPrint Manager through a standard file transfer protocol (FTP) in binary format. This method works best when resources do not change often. v Use the Network File System (NFS) mount command to make OS/390 systems containing resources accessible to the Windows server that InfoPrint Manager is running on. Because this solution can cause a great deal of network traffic, you should be careful when choosing this solution if your resources change frequently. v Use MVS Download to submit a resource instead of a print job and send it to all print resource libraries defined on your InfoPrint Manager server. This method requires you to customize your MVS Download exits and configuration. When you use the MVS Download function in InfoPrint Manager with AFP Download Plus for z/OS, the resources for the print jobs are normally sent with the print job as inline resources used for that job and the resources do not need to be installed on the InfoPrint Manager server. However, if AFP Download Plus is configured to not send all resources as inline resources, then the resources that are not sent inline must be installed on and be managed by the InfoPrint Manager server.
