Running RPSetup
Running RPSetup
To run RPSetup, enter the following command at the TACL prompt:
remote-spooler
is the supervisor process name of a remote spooler configured with printers to
which remote connections are to be established. To specify remote-spooler,
use the network form of the supervisor process name (for example, \FAR.$SPLS).
local-spooler
is the supervisor process name of a local spooler whose configuration is to have
locations and devices added to provide locations for actual printing through
remote-spooler. RPSetup and local-spooler should execute on the same
node.
Considerations
•
RPSetup displays any status or error information on the terminal where the RUN
command is used.
•
Error messages are described in Appendix E, RPSetup Utility Messages.
•
Run the RPSetup utility whenever the remote spooler has device or print process
changes. Specify remote-spooler and local-spooler in the command to
run RPSetup, and the utility updates the local spooler configuration.
•
RPSetup establishes interspooler threads and configures printers and devices as
specified by PARAM and ASSIGN commands associated with the RPSetup utility.
Unless you set these values with specific commands, default values apply as
described under Configuring Entities in the Local Spooler on page 5-8.
•
RPSetup sets up connections on the local spooler to all qualifying locations on the
remote system. A qualifying location is one linked to a device that is not a
collector.
In setting up the connections, RPSetup assigns an interspooler thread to each
qualifying location, giving the first location thread 01, the second location
thread 02, and so on until each configured interspooler thread is used; and it
repeats that assignment process until all locations are assigned.
•
FASTP is the default print process for RPSetup configurations; therefore, RPSetup
configures interspooler threads by using values appropriate for FASTP operations.
The ASSIGN PRINTFILE command can be used to change the print process.
•
The FASTP print process, if used to control interspooler threads for spooler-to-
spooler job transfer, can also be assigned to other devices on local-spooler.
