Here's
some typical Questions &
Answers on XPFC for MVS/JES2
|
|
XPFC
is already supported and available for use on a wide range of MVS/JES2
releases
|
|
Why
have to choose between Online
or Offline ?? With XPFC you can have BOTH so you can just pick
& choose to suit your own preferred mode of working .......
great for backup, and for dealing with peak loads !

XPFC
has a unique feature called the InFlight
Reloader which means that even though it runs as JES2 Exit code,
you DON'T have to restart JES2 when you want to implement any changes

The
latest version of XPFC allows you to control DJDE and cover insertion
depending upon the LPS printer
that is going to be used by having controls that are "sensitive"
to the target LPS enabling easy and safe exploitation of situations
where there are mixed LPS's - say, a 4090 running alongside a 4850
- yet from a SINGLE XPFC system
|
|
New
XPFC controls now allow DJDE and cover controls
to be defined at individual COPY level for a dataset so that
each and every copy of a dataset can be treated differently
