COLLECT Command
OUT file-name
indicates where Spoolcom is to write the collector status. If not specified,
the status is written to the Spoolcom OUT file (usually the home terminal).
If OUT file-name is specified, Spoolcom writes the data to it in a
manner suitable for the file type, process, or device. file-name must be
specified; if the file does not exist, Spoolcom creates an EDIT file (file type
101). The file can be an EDIT file, an unstructured file, a relative file, an
entry-sequenced file, a spooler job file, a process, or a device.
DETAIL
requests a complete list of all collector attributes. See Examples for All
Users on page 4-16 for a description of the STATUS DETAIL display.
If $process-name is not specified, then the status of all collectors in the
spooler subsystem is returned.
If $process-name is specified, then the status of only that collector is
returned.
UNIT unit-size
is the amount of collection file space allocated to a job initially and each time
additional space is needed. It is expressed in units of 1024 bytes (512 words).
The valid range is 2 through 32767. Once a collector has been started, the
setting of UNIT cannot be altered, even if jobs have been collected. See
Considerations on page 4-14 for more information.
Considerations

If neither $process-name nor subcommand is specified, Spoolcom displays the
status of all collectors.

Any user can get the status of a collector.

The DETAIL parameter of the STATUS subcommand provides a complete list of
collector attributes.

Only authorized users can modify collector attributes.

The collector must be in the dormant state before its attributes can be specified or
changed.

The COLLECT command must specify the CPU subcommand before the BACKUP
subcommand. If the specified backup processor number is the same as the
primary processor number, no backup is created.

The data-file-name parameter should exist before the DATA subcommand is
specified. The DATA data-file-name subcommand should be specified only
before the collector is first started. See the information on creating data files in the
File Utility Program (FUP) Reference Manual.
