An Example of APU Monitor Processing | IBM S544-5351-03 instruction

Figure 94 diagrams the sequence in which the APU Monitor processes the action groups.

Figure 94. APU Monitor Processing Sequence

Here is an explanation of the steps shown in the diagram:

1.The monitor is invoked each time a spooled file arrives in a monitored output queue or if the spooled file status from a spool in a monitored queue changes to *RDY. Spooled files with other status conditions are not processed.

2.The monitor checks the input selection from each action rule in a sequential manner.

3.As soon as a spooled file matches the action input selection, the input and output action are performed. Subsequent actions are ignored.

4.The input action is applied after the selection matches a spooled file. The action performed depends on whether or not APU is able to complete the job successfully.

5.You can define up to 16 output actions. This allows you, for example, to use several different APU print definitions for the same spooled file.

6.One or more spooled files are placed into one or more output queues.

An Example of APU Monitor Processing

This section describes an example of how the concepts of the APU Monitor can be implemented in a customer environment.

A Customer Environment

Assume that a customer wants to set up the following environment:

vThree different output types are needed. with each going to a different output queue (OUTQs).

vTwo printers are available, and the monitor is to be set up with the following requirements:

±System output (QSYSPRT) must not use an APU print definition.

±All jobs in OUTQ1 must be sent to PRT01

±All jobs in OUTQ2 and OUTQ3 must be sent to PRT02

±Application jobs APP01 and APP02 must be sent with a print definition SAMPLE applied
