JES Spool Printer Sharing
279
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 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 attempts to establish a 
connection on TCP/IP, PSF 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 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 redrive 
the printer FSA using the value of the MGMTMODE parameter. 
TIMEOUT=STOP requests that PSF 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 
ends the session with the network printer. If the value is set to zero, 
PSF does not end the session because of lack of output.
NOTE: PSF 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 SNA- and TCP/
IP-attached printers when a printer can support multiple 
active ports.
