Routing Structure
Routing Structure
The routing structure directs jobs to print devices. It consists of a set of locations and
print devices. Figure 2-5 shows the association of locations with print devices.
A spooler location is the logical destination of a job; a print device is the physical
destination. This distinction permits great flexibility when routing jobs. At the time a job
enters the spooler subsystem, the spooler assigns it to the location that was
designated by the OUT option in the RUN command that started the application.
(Refer to the description of the RUN command in the TACL Reference Manual.) If
there is a device associated with the assigned location, the job eventually prints on that
device.
