FASTCNFG File Redirection
Attributes
All attributes, except for the FASTCNFG attribute, are device attributes. Some device
attributes (and their attribute values) can be used with any product-specific version of a
FASTP print process. Other device attributes (and their attribute values) are used only
with one product-specific version of a FASTP print process. Device attributes are
described in the product-specific sections of this manual.
The next example shows a device keyword and keyword value (DEVICE $PRT)
followed by two pairs of attributes and attribute values (CONTYPE = NONE).
DEVICE $PRT
CONTYPE = NONE
The LAN print queue has already been configured with SPOOLCOM and has been
assigned the name $PRT. The keyword value and attribute values tell the print
process that the device being described is the device represented by the name $PRT.
The FASTCNFG attribute is used only for FASTCNFG file redirection.
FASTCNFG File Redirection
The FASTCNFG attribute is used to redirect a print process from one FASTCNFG file to
another. The attribute specifies the name of the other FASTCNFG file.
•
The primary FASTCNFG file, $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTCNFG (or the file specified
with the TACL DEFINE commands), is referred to as the level-1 file.
•
A print process can be redirected from the primary FASTCNFG file to another
FASTCNFG file. The subordinate FASTCNFG file is referred to as a level-2 file.
•
A print process can be redirected from a level-2 FASTCNFG file to another
FASTCNFG file. The subordinate FASTCNFG file is referred to as a level-3 file.
No more than three levels are recommended.
Redirection to a subordinate file is specified with the FASTCNFG attribute. Once a
product-specific version of the FASTP print process is redirected to a subordinate
FASTCNFG file, it does not return to the original file.
The syntax for the FASTCNFG file redirection attribute is as follows:
[\node.][$volume.][subvolume.]file-ID
specifies the Guardian file name for a FASTCNFG file. If the file name is not fully
qualified, the default node name, volume, and subvolume for the print process
reading the file are substituted.
The FASTCNFG attribute is used with the SPOOLER and PROCESS keywords. It
should not be used with the DEVICE keyword.
FASTCNFG = [\node.][$volume.][subvolume.]file-ID
