JES Spool Printer Sharing MGMTMODE Set to OUTAVAIL. OUTAVAIL requests that PSF start a communications session with the printer only when output is available on the JES spool. FAILURE Specifies the action PSF/MVS is to take after a printer failure or a TCP/IP network failure. If FAILURE=WCONNECT and the printer is connected to another host when PSF/MVS attempts to establish a connection on TCP/IP, PSF/MVS continuously retries (up to the limit specified by CONNINTV) until the printer becomes available. FAILURE=STOP stops the attempt to connect to the printer. TIMEOUT Specifies the action that PSF/MVS is to take after a timeout when no output is available on JES. The DISCINTV parameter specifies the timeout interval. TIMEOUT=REDRIVE requests that PSF/MVS redrive the printer FSA using the value of the MGMTMODE parameter. TIMEOUT=STOP requests that PSF/MVS stop the printer FSA, which can then be restarted only by an operator command. DISCINTV Specifies the disconnect interval in seconds. The value can range from zero through 86400. IBM suggests you set the value to 15. When no output is available from JES for this time period, PSF/ MVS ends the session with the network printer. If the value is set to zero, PSF/MVS does not end the session because of lack of output. NOTE: PSF/MVS supports two other methods of printer sharing, which are not applicable to IBM 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface printers. VTAM RELREQ is available for printer sharing under SNA. Port switching is available for SNAand TCP/IP-attached printers when a printer can support multiple active ports. 239
