Ficon Job Separation tab

Use this tab to configure job separation. You can access this tab by selecting a Ficon Connection, then clicking the Add or Modify button.

You must be a member of the local Administrators group to add or modify connections.

You must stop the connection before it can be modified. You should not, however, stop a connection when data is being received from the host. This would stop the data stream The uninterrupted transfer of information over an interface to achieve high data transfer rates and cause an error to occur at the host.

Separation method

Because during line printer emulation there is not a clear point when one job ends and another job begins, the following options are used to separate jobs. We recommend leaving all of these options enabled. For more information on the job separation methods, see the Separating Ficon jobs topic.

Primary – The banner that will be used first. By default, the default JES2Banner is selected as your primary banner. If you disable banner separation by selecting (None) as the primary banner, you can separate print jobs only by timeout or a received FCB.

Secondary – The banner that will be used if the primary banner is not found. You must select a primary banner before a secondary banner can be selected.

Remove after processing – Removes the header and trailer pages after BARR/Print Ficon has extracted the routing information, but before the file is routed. If you do not select one of these options, the pages will remain in the file.

Banners

Lists the currently configured banners. A default banner, JES2Banner, is automatically created for you using the default banner configuration settings.
