1. Make the Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) resources on the MVS system available to InfoPrint if they are not already available. 2. Use the default version or a customized version of the shell script mvsprpsm.sh supplied with InfoPrint. See "Modifying the InfoPrint mvsprpsm.sh shell script" on page 288 for more information. 3. Assign a port number to the InfoPrint daemon and start the daemon using the mvsprsd command. See "Using the mvsprsd command to start the daemon" on page 294. How do you make AFP resources available? AFP Download Plus can send all needed AFP resources with the print files. When this is used, the AFP resources do not need to be accessible to the AIX system. If AFP Download Plus is configured to not send all needed AFP resources or Download for z/OS is in use, the AFP resources needed for the jobs need to be accessible to the AIX system. For jobs that require AFP resources located on the MVS system, you can use the Network File System (NFS) mount command to make MVS file systems containing resources accessible to the AIX system on which InfoPrint is running. Or you can have the resources located on the AIX system. You use the shell script mvsprsd.sh, supplied with InfoPrint in the /usr/lpp/pd/bin directory, to specify the location of the resources. You can associate named media with the bins where they are loaded. By using Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA), you can create form definitions for your MVS jobs that contain MO:DCA medium maps that specify media names. For more information about how to create these form definitions, see the PPFA: User's Guide and Reference, S544-5284. How are print options passed to InfoPrint? MVS users submitting MVS data sets for printing on InfoPrint-managed printer devices can pass a number of options that further define the requirements of their jobs. The InfoPrint daemon receives the options with the data set and passes the options to the shell script. See "Passing the parameter list from the mvsprsd daemon to the shell script" on page 290 for information about the options. What does the mvsprpsm.sh shell script do? The InfoPrint MVS Download shell script translates the print options specified with a downloaded MVS file into InfoPrint attributes and values. The shell script then builds an InfoPrint pdpr command using the -x flag to submit the attributes and values; it builds the name of the file to print from information received from the MVS system and the date and time the MVS file was received. The shell script then creates a log file and submits the pdpr command. A check is made to determine if InfoPrint accepts the command. If InfoPrint accepts the command, the InfoPrint MVS Download shell script deletes the log file and the data set received from the MVS system. Otherwise, the log and file remain in the defined file system. 286 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures
