ZOSMIGV1R12_INFOPRINT

Description:

This check verifies that Infoprint Server has sufficient space to create Version 2 Printer Inventory files.

Before activating this check, verify that Infoprint Server is active.

Reason for check:

When first started on z/OS® V1R12, the Infoprint Server will create Version 2 Printer Inventory files from the Version 1 Printer Inventory files. Before starting the conversion, Infoprint Server verifies that there is sufficient space to successfully complete. If there is not sufficient space, Infoprint Server halts and issues a message that there is insufficient space. The minimum available space that is required is two times the space used by the Version 1 Printer Inventory files. (Version 1 Printer Inventory files have the extension .db.) This check determines if there is sufficient space for the conversion.

z/OS releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R10 and V1R11.

Parameters accepted:

User override of IBM® values:

   INTERVAL(ONETIME)
   INACTIVE
   DATE('date_of_the_change')
   REASON('Your reason for making the update.')

AOPH1511E The Infoprint Server file system has insufficient space to           
reformat the Printer Inventory when you migrate to z/OS V1R12.                 
                                                                               
  Explanation:  The Infoprint Server file system does not have enough          
    available space for the Version 2 Printer Inventory. The first time        
    you start Infoprint Server on z/OS V1R12, Infoprint Server attempts        
    to reformat the Version 1 Printer Inventory and create a Version 2         
    Printer Inventory. If insufficient space exists, Infoprint Server          
    does not start.  The minimum available space that is required is 2         
    times the space that the Version 1 Printer Inventory files currently       
    use. (Version 1 Printer Inventory files have extension .db.)  The          
    health check produced a report that identifies the Infoprint Server        
    file system with its total available space and used space plus the         
    minimum available space required to create the Version 2 Printer           
    Inventory.         

 System Action:  Processing continues. However, if you do not increase       
   the available space, Infoprint Server cannot start on z/OS V1R12.         
                                                                             
 Operator Response:  Report this problem to the system programmer.           
                                                                             
 System Programmer Response:  Examine the report that the health check       
   produced.                                                                 
                                                                             
   o An "E" in the "S"(Status) column indicates that the file system         
   does not have enough available space.                                     
                                                                             
   o An "N" in the "S"(Status) column indicates that file master.v2db        
   exists. The amount of available space was not checked because             
   Version 2 Printer Inventory files already exist.                          
                                                                             
   After you increase the space in the file system, run this check           
    again to verify that enough available space exists.
