Creating InfoPrint Manager MVS Download receivers
When you create an InfoPrint Manager MVS Download receiver through the
InfoPrint Manager Management Console, you specify pdxtdownload as the exit
program name. This causes the receiver to call pdxtdownload for each job that it
receives. See the InfoPrint Manager publications for detailed information about
creating MVS Download receivers. This is an abbreviated version of the steps, with
information that is pertinent to InfoPrint XT:
1. Open the InfoPrint Manager Management Console.
2. From the menu bar, click Edit→New→MVS Download Receiver. The Add MVS
Receiver dialog opens.
3. In the Port Number field, enter the port number that you want this receiver to
use when it communicates with the host system. This is the same number that
you used for the Windows system when you updated the routing-control data
set on z/OS. See Figure 6 on page 68.
4. Select a logical destination for the Target Destination field. The logical
destination must send jobs to an actual destination that is configured for use
with InfoPrint XT. For more information, see “Using the pdxtsetdest command
to update InfoPrint Manager actual destinations” on page 15.
5. You can accept the default for the Destination Control File field. InfoPrint XT
does not use information from this file. Instead, it uses its own
pdxtdownload.map file to automatically assign InfoPrint Manager document
and job attributes. See “Creating an attribute mapping file” on page 71.
Note:
The default destination control file that InfoPrint Manager provides
causes the MVS Download receiver to use the DEST value for the job as
the name of the logical destination. To specify a different logical
destination, you can use the -q download directive, or you can set the
destination-name-requested attribute in the attribute mapping file. See
page 77, and “Creating an attribute mapping file” on page 71.
6. In the Exit Program Name field, enter the drive, path, and file name for
pdxtdownload:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint XT\bin\pdxtdownload.exe
You can use the Browse function rather than typing the path.
Note:
If you installed InfoPrint XT in a directory other than the default
C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint XT directory, specify that path
instead.
7. If you process jobs that contain several data sets and you want to merge the
data sets, disable parallel processing. Clear the Enable parallel processing
check box. For more information, see “Processing jobs that contain more than
one data set” on page 73.
8. Clear the Retain command files check box. If you leave this selected, the
receiver retains the JCL files for jobs, and you must manually discard them.
9. Click OK to create and start the receiver.
Note:
When InfoPrint Manager creates the MVS Download receiver, it creates a
working directory for the receiver. This directory is C:\Program
Files\IBM\Infoprint Manager\var\pd\mvsd\Receiver n. n is a unique
number for the receiver. InfoPrint XT uses this directory to store certain files
that relate to download processing.
