Network Print Facility interfaces with VTAM z/OS Communications Server: IP Network Print Facility SC27-3658-00 |
|
To do printing, a VTAM® application program typically starts a session with a printer in its SNA network and sends the print data during that session. The Network Print Facility replaces the SNA-network printer with a logical printer within an NPF VTAM capture point application program. For each logical printer
LU:
It is possible to run multiple instances of the NPF VTAM capture point application
at the same time. Each must run in a different MVS™ address space and must do processing for
a different set of logical printer LUs. There are several reasons
why this might be useful:
The set of logical printer LUs to be supported by any
given instance of the NPF VTAM capture point application is selected as follows:
When running the VTAM capture point application, the routing file is required for logical printer name selection, even if the coding of a general routing exit makes it unnecessary for actual routing functions. |
