OA51094: NEW FUNCTION TO RECONFIGURE RELEASE JOB FUNCTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Add a configuration option to Infoprint Server to change the
  operation of the Infoprint Central release button. When this
  option is chosen, the action of the release button will differ
  from the ISPF/SDSF "o" option and will no longer force PSF
  (Print Services Facility) to delete the job off the JES spool
  once the job has printed. Jobs printed by PrintWay are not
  affected and will continue to honor the PrintWay retain action.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of z/OS Infoprint Server V2R1 or       *
  *                 V2R2 and JES2 who use Infoprint Central      *
  *                 to release held PSF jobs for reprinting.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When Infoprint Central releases a JES   *
  *                      job from the hold queue to be printed   *
  *                      by PSF, the job is always deleted by    *
  *                      PSF after the job prints.  By design,   *
  *                      Infoprint Central does the same JES     *
  *                      commands as the SDSF "o" command        *
  *                      does.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the applicable PTF.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  Add a configuration parameter that changes the action of
  the "release" button in Infoprint Central to leave the
  OUTDISP specified in the particular document alone instead of
  forcing OUTDISP=WRITE.  This allows the customer more control
  of the disposition of the job after PSF prints the job.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Add a configuration option to Infoprint Server to change
  the operation of the Infoprint Central "release" button.
  When this option is chosen, the action of the release
  button will differ from the ISPF/SDSF "o" option and will
  no longer force PSF (Print Services Facility) to delete the
  job off the JES spool once the job has printed.  Jobs
  printed by PrintWay are not affected and will continue to
  honor the PrintWay retain action.
  
  The new option is "use-output-disposition=yes". If this option
  is not configured, then the operation of the "release" button
  is unchanged.
  
  To set this new option when dynamic-configuration=yes,
  use the "Other" field in ISPF/SDSF =12.8.8
  ( System - Manage System Configuration ) to enter:
  use-output-disposition=yes
  
  When the configuration is saved, then the value is dynamically
  changed and becomes active immediately.
  
  If dynamic-configuration is not active, then add this option to
  the configuration file /etc/Printsrv/aopd.conf  by adding the
  the following line:
   use-output-disposition=yes
  After saving the change, please recycle Infoprint Server.
