Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Considerations for configuring TCP/IP for MVS
Following are some considerations for configuring TCP/IP for MVS:
•To specify a TCP/IP address space name other than the default (TCPIP), code the following EXEC statement in the appropriate PSF writer procedure:
STEP01 EXEC PGM=APSPPIEP,
PARM=(,,,,tcpip_name), REGION=4096K
where tcpip_name is the name of the TCP/IP address space.
If this parameter is not coded, PSF uses the default name, TCPIP. (For a full description of the PARM parameter, refer to Print Services Facility/MVS: Diagnosis Guide and Reference.)
•KEEPALIVEOPTIONS statement: PSF relies on TCP to detect when a connection with the printer is no longer usable. When no data has been exchanged between PSF and its connection partner, TCP sends
The frequency of
For printing on the NPS/IPS, it is recommended you specify a shorter interval than the
KEEPALIVEOPTIONS INTERVAL 10 SENDGARBAGE FALSE ENDKEEPALIVEOPTIONS
If you change any of the values in the TCP/IP profile, restart TCP/IP to pick up the changes.
