TSS options


Specify TSS-driven options that control the creation of unknown destinations and assist in the creation of dynamic printers.

Unknown destinations are LTERMs that do not exist at a given point in time because they were not defined in an IMSGEN.

Use the Unsolicited Output Options – TSS Options panel to specify a TSS table name for the Unsolicited Output TSS option and the type of processing that should occur after a TSS table search.

Warning

Important

TRANSACT TSS table processing is performed only for IMS systems that are running with Common Queue Server (CQS).

ETA allows you to use a TSS table to control the creation of unknown destinations and simplify the process of creating dynamic printers. One TSS table can specify data for both functions.

To control the creation of unknown destinations

Create a table that uses the names of LTERMs as arguments for the TSS table.You can use either the names of LTERMs that you will allow to be created or the names of LTERMs that you will NOT allow. The table processing options you specify on the ETA Unsolicited Output Options – TSS Options panel will then determine, from the results of the TSS table search, whether LTERMs will be created.

To simplify the process of creating dynamic printers

Use printer LTERM names as arguments for the TSS table and specify any applicable parameters.When a printer LTERM is created, ETA will automatically issue the OPNDST command for that printer if the LTERM name exists in the TSS table.

Values specified through TSS override all options that were specified by using ETA Defaults. Options you specify through ETA Defaults serve as defaults if the TSS translate fails and for options that are not specified in the TSS table.
