The output shows that the printer $LASER is up and available to print user jobs.

Monitoring Collector Process Status

Check that the collector processes on your spooler subsystem do not become more than about

90 percent full. To check their status:

> SPOOLCOM COLLECT

A listing similar to this output is sent to your home terminal:

COLLECT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI UNIT DATA FILE %FULL

$S ACTIVE 0 , 1 149 4 $SPOOL.SPL.DATA 40

$S1 ACTIVE 1 , 2 149 10 $SPOOL.SPL.DATA1 28

$S2 ACTIVE 2 , 3 149 8 $SPOOL.SPL.DATA2 0

This listing shows that the three collector processes, $S, $S1, and $S2, are active and none is

approaching a full state. The data shown in the report means:

The name of the collector processCOLLECT

The current state of the collector process, which can be

ACTIVE, DORMANT, DRAIN, or ERROR

STATE

The current SCF substate of the collector processFLAGS

The processor number of the collector process and its

backup process

CPU

The execution priority of the collector process (The default

value is 145.)

PRI

The number of 512-word blocks requested by the collector

process when it needs more disk space (The default value

is 4.)

UNIT

The name of the disk file where the collector process stores

jobs

DATA FILE

Recovery Operations for a Full Collector Process

If the SPOOLCOM COLLECT display shows any collector process approaching 90 percent

capacity, jobs must be deleted from the collector in question.
