11 LRS Output Server 11

12 Delivering Output VPS Executes on an OS/390 system Provides platform for print distribution Distribute via SNA, TCP/IP, , CDI, DRS or ANYQ Selects output from JES via SAPI interface (CLASS, DEST, FORM, WRITER) Supports an unlimited number of printers 28 customizable exits Basic formatting support 12

13 Delivery via TCP/IP VPS/TCPIP Runs in the VPS address space Supports LPR/LPD & Sockets communication Can communicate via LPR/LPD with Windows or UNIX servers Provides Bi-directional Internet Printing - BIP BIP provides guaranteed paper delivery BIP enables printer status monitoring 13

14 Delivery via TCP/IP BIP Guaranteed delivery Confirmation of each page printed Confirmation sent when page hits output tray No impact on performance Device Status Notification of status change Error conditions logged Checkpoint Restart Restart to exact page after failure Cancel button Printer cancel request is passed to print server and document removed from spool 14

15 Secure Printing Across VPS/Secure TCP/IP Provides encryption for reports delivered to TCP/IP connected printers and servers Solution co-developed with hardware & software manufacturers. Uses Rijndael encryption algorithm Protects print data from TCP/IP networks HP and Lexmark Printers currently supported 15

16 Distributing Output via VPS/ Automated output delivery to remote users via Uses standard SMTP protocols Send output as text or attachment (HTML, RTF, PDF) Supports any SMTP capable mail server (Exchange, Lotus Notes/Domino, etc.) Text and AFP can be converted and attached Notification from remote mail server supported 16

17 Distributing Output via Sample JCL //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //USER OUTPUT USERDATA=('SUBJECT: Verkaufszahlen Juni', // // // // 'PDFTITLE=Verkaufszahlen Juni 2003', // 'PDFFONT=(COURIER,10)', // 'FILENAME:Verkauf.PDF', // 'FILEDESC: Guten Tag,', // 'FILEDESC: im Anhang finden Sie die neuesten Verkaufszahlen', // 'FILEDESC: der neuen XY Produktionsreihe.', // 'FILEDESC: Mit freundlichen Grüßen,', // 'FILEDESC: Dietmar Neidhardt', // 'FILEDESC: Marketing Account Manager', // 'FILEDESC: ABC AG, Musterstadt') 17
