Procedure for installing multiple data set support with AFP Download Plus
- Install AFP Download Plus with APAR OA15317. To enable the multiple data set function, set the dataset-grouping parameter in the control statement data set to Yes. For more information about installing AFP Download Plus, see the "Installing AFP Download Plus" chapter in Print Service Facility for z/OS: AFP Download Plus, S550-0433. Using the Download for z/OS exit 15 program to enable multiple data set on AFP Download Plus is not supported.
- Because the mvsprpsm.sh sample shell script has been updated, you must update any customized versions of
this shell script. Specify the name of the shell script using the "-x" option when
you start the mvsprsd daemon:
mvsprsd -n 1 -qlp -p6250 -d/mvsdl -x/mvsdl/mvsprpsm.sh
- When the mvsprsd daemon is started, make sure that the PATH environment variable includes the /usr/lpp/psf/bin directory. You can set default values for environment variables like PATH using the
/etc/profile.d/ipm_environment.sh file:
PATH=/usr/lpp/psf/bin:${PATH}You must delimit each directory using a colon (:), not a semi-colon (;). Do not include spaces in the assignment. A period designates the current directory. - Do not specify these attributes either directly or in Initial Value Job or Initial
Value Document objects:
- transform-message-file-name
- resource-context-page-definition
- Specify the -n 1 option when you start the mvsprsd daemon:
mvsprsd -n 1 -qlp -p6250 -d/mvsdl -x/mvsdl/mvsprpsm.sh
This option directs the daemon to create exactly one child process to receive data sets from MVS. Most customers use a shell script to run the mvsprsd daemon and specify its arguments. Using a shell script ensures that the daemon is always started correctly, with the same arguments. You should add the -n 1 option to the shell script.
