ERVER WITH

MVS

In normal operation, a session with the print server is maintained while there is

output on the JES spool and the print server is available. When there is no more

output on the spool and the disconnect interval expires, PSF/MVS ends the session

with the print server. PSF/MVS attempts to restart the session when there is more

work on the spool for the print server. After the session is restarted, PSF/MVS must

reload the resources required for the print jobs.

To use an print server with your MVS system, you use the following JES operator

commands
