Changes to Spoolcom Commands
COLLECT STATUS Command Display
The PERCENT FULL and %FULL values reported by the COLLECT STATUS
command are now accurate to within plus or minus one percent.
Previously, the values retained in the supervisor for reporting were updated only at
times when the collector completed a job or started a new job. Now, any time a value
changes by 0.5 percent from the last time it was reported, the collector updates the
supervisor with the new value. There is no performance impact as a result of this
change.
COLLECT STATUS DETAIL Command Display
It is now possible to create and use collector data files that exceed 64K units. The
COLLECT STATUS DETAIL command 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.
COLLECT LISTOPENS Command
The COLLECT LISTOPENS command has been redesigned. Spoolcom no longer gets
the information for this command directly from the collector process. Earlier versions of
Spoolcom can not be used to issue this command for D41 collectors, nor can the D41,
D46, or D48 Spoolcom utility be used to issue this command to pre-D41 collectors.
DATAFILE Subcommand
A new JOB selection qualifier, DATAFILE, can be used with the JOB command.
DATAFILE can be used by itself or in combination with other qualifiers to select jobs on
which subcommands will be performed. If this qualifier is used, only jobs which reside
in the specified collector data file are included in the selection. If the volume and
subvolume portion of the data file name are omitted, the default volume and
subvolume are used. The data file name must be specified and has no default.
Example H-1
shows the SPOOLCOM JOB,STATUS command to status all jobs in all
datafiles.
