1 Spooler Quick Start
This section is a concise set of instructions for starting and draining, or stopping, the
spooler.
Depending on the release from which you are upgrading, some configuration of
spooler might be required. The best method for assuring that any previous version
(T9101) of spooler can be used is to always back up the control files and the collector
files for that version, prior to warm starting the new version of spooler. See
Appendix H, Migration Considerations for Pre-D41 Spooler Versions for information on
migrating previous versions of spooler.
Command Files
You should use command files to automate your spooler-related tasks. Spooler
command files can have from one to 8 alphanumeric characters with the first character
alphabetic. There are no default command-file names. Some of the command file
names used in the examples of this section are defined as follows:
The default name of the spooler collector program is $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.CSPOOL.
Replace this file if you want to run your own collector process. For information on
naming spooler components and files, refer to the Guardian User’s Guide.
