Managed IPDS Dialog (MID)
When some printers connected to an IPDS host end a session, the job resource containing information such as page segment and overlays are discarded. If these resources are required by subsequent IPDS jobs from the same host system, then they must be downloaded again. When a new session is established using the MID function, the host system can release the printer to print other jobs, such as PCL or PostScript without immediately discarding the IPDS rsources. The IPDS dialog may be resumed at a later time.
The IPDS resources are only discarded if a new IPDS connection and dialog is established with a different host system. If the IPDS resources are still available when the original host dialog is resumed, then they do not have to be retransmitted. This can save a significant amount of time. Host system support for MID is already available with MVS, iSeries and AIX systems.
