Migration Considerations for
Pre-D41 Spooler Versions
The D41, D46, and D48 releases of the Spooler subsystem present many
enhancements and new features to support improved operational management. This
appendix describes D-series system interoperability considerations and explains the
major enhancements and changes in the D41, D46, and D48 release of the Spooler
subsystem. For information on new enhancements for D46 and D48, see Extended
Memory Changes for D46 and D48 Versions of the Spooler on page H-12.
Certain, and essential, migration and installation considerations exist for pre-D41
Spooler product versions. Before upgrading to the newest version of Spooler, read this
Appendix and especially Migrating Files From a Pre-D41 Product Version of Spooler
on page H-2.
Pre-D41 Interoperability Considerations
Pre-D41, D41, D46 and D48 releases of the Spooler components interoperate without
differences except as described below.
Pre-D41 Spoolcom and the D41,D46,D48 Spooler

The COLLECT LISTOPENS command fails because it tries to get information
directly from the collector process.

The COLLECT STATUS DETAIL command now displays the larger number of units
possible for a collector. Earlier Spoolcom utilities will display this data, as well as
the percentage full value for a collector, inaccurately.

The SPOOLER ERRLOG command fails; it is not supported.
Pre-D41 Peruse, D41, and the D46 and D48 Spooler Products
The JOB LIST command fails because the pre-D41 library procedures cannot interpret
the D41 collection file format.
Pre-D41 Spooler, D41, and D46 and 48 Spoolcom Utilities
The COLLECT LISTOPENS command fails because it tries to get information from the
supervisor process.
