Re: Does we can sperate some group printer writer job to other than QSPL subsystem ?

Hello, Vengoal

I'm suggesting that this should not be done. This i after reviewing the 
Work Management manual, to see if this is suggested. I found nothing there.

The spooling support is very tightly defined. There's a whole set of 
subsystem descriptions, job queues, job descriptions, classes, etc., that 
are used to manage this. It seems risky to change this too much. There's 
even a special shared pool, *SPOOL, for these jobs. And only one of those.

One area I saw that COULD be adjusted is the classes used for spooling. 
There are different job descriptions for each kind of spool (reader or 
writer, remote or local, data base, diskette, print, etc.). Each job 
descriptions has different RQSDTA values, thus pointing to different 
classes via routing entries. You COULD add pools to the QSPL subsystem 
description, then change the classes as you want. And you would normally 
put them into *SPOOL, anyway, so you gain little of anything - certainly no 
memory segregation. But you could put local writers one place, AFP writers 
in another, and remote writers in yet another. There are guidelines in the 
Work Management for the size you need for each kind of writer.

But any upgrade of the OS will probably change these back - but there are 
subsystem descriptions that are save in an upgrade and can be restored.

One thing you might consider - not sure I'd do this - is to change the 
paging value for QSPL to *CALC - this'd let the performance adjuster change 
the size of the pool as needed. Ours is *FIXED, so there may be a reason to 
leave it that way - e.g., the need to have rapid response when a writer 
needs to print something. Because printers are often inactive, *CALC may 
result in not enough memory at the time of need.
