Mackie manual Adjusting the local Xprint V7.0 domain, 225

Interoperability Gateways

This command configures a partner gateway named dprint_partner which administers the logical connection to a special DPRINT spooler. For dprint_partner any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a name which indicates to which DPRINT spooler the gateway is configured. With the option -ohdprint_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the gateway to the DPRINT spooler is configured. Additionally, you must specify with -onoriginal_name the name of the DPRINT gateway on the corresponding BS2000 system if it is not identical with the gateway name dprint_partner. In practice, original_name and dprint_host are identical; this is the BCAM host name of the BS2000 system in capital letters.

In this case, the definition of the partner gateway also requires the specification of the additional option -op"FT=tns_entry", which specifies the TNS entry of the FT service on the host for the partner gateway:

The option -gaport specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. This number must correspond to that of the DPRINT gateway of the DPRINT spooler.

The partner gateway (or a list of partner gateways) must be assigned with the -bllocal_gw option to the local gateway administering the physical connection.

Adjusting the local Xprint V7.0 domain

If the gateway is configured in such a way that the users of the DPRINT system can also use the printers of the local Xprint V7.0 domain, some adjustments are required at the local Xprint V7.0 domain, as DPRINT users might print documents with the EBCDIC character set.

For this reason, a slow filter must be added to the Xprint V7.0 configuration for every possible content type the DPRINT users might use for EBCDIC documents.

In any case, at least the following filter is required:

xpadd -flt filter_name -it EBCDIC_ EBCDIC_COMPATIBLE \ -ot ’xpshow -pcl -di ´-id´’ -cm ebcdic2ascii \ -op "pcl *=*" "COMMENT *=1"

This command defines a filter with any unique name filter_name for the DPRINT format EBCDIC_COMPATIBLE. As the output format for this filter all defined PCLs are specified. For any other document types you might have to define other filters using this procedure (e.g. EDCDIC_POSTSCRIPT to POSTSCRIPT):

xpadd -flt ... -it EBCDIC_POSTSCRIPT -ot POSTSCRIPT\ -cm ebcdic2ascii -op "pcl *=*" "COMMENT *=1"
