I hate to go into marketing mode, but while not free, we (at
http://syzygyinc.com/SyzSPOOLz.htm) have an inexpensive solution (under $5k
before IBM-MAIN discounts) which also uses SAPI, but gives you a whole lot more
than SRS.
Marketing starts here.....
SyzSPOOL/z is used to offload all or part of the JES2 spool datasets to
separate COMPRESSED sequential datasets under full user volume control or
DF/SMS dataset control retaining access security via the sites already
installed security product (RACF, ACF/2, Top Secret). The files can be
archived under control of the data centers normal IBM HSM or Innovation's
FDR/ABR supported control or self managed via simple management commands. The
output may be sent via email or FTP on demand.
The output can be viewed via the included ISPF/PDF interface, or the Web
Interface from most client-side browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.),
and the output is protected via the mainframe system's security product.
Output can also be sent via Email or FTP in any of several formats, (PDF, WORD,
ZIP, etc.).
The data center will no longer have to print or delete output just because it's
reached a "certain" age or because the JES spool can't hold the data any more,
they can manage all of the sites' output and place it under the control of
their choice of management facilities, i.e. HSM, FDR/ABR, DMS, or simple DASD
for archive management or send the output to individual users via Email or FTP.
Version 7 of SyzSPOOL/z wil allow the output to be automatically sent upon
receipt from JES to a designated eMail address in PDF or text format, or a link
to the output data can be sent via SMS text to any authorized cell phone.
SyzSPOOL/z runs constantly 24x7 and since it takes advantage of IBM's new SAPI
interface to JES2 it uses only a small amount of resources to process the
output. SyzSPOOL/z can be configured to extract or exclude the spool datasets
on any of a number of JOB/Task output criteria:
Output Class Userid Job Name Age
Writer name Page Count Output Queue
Form Job Number Destination Linecount
Spool Volumes and many others.....
The output files are dynamically created and can be manipulated manually if
desired with any user or IBM standard utility like IEBGENER, DF/dss, etc. The
output remains under full security server control (i.e. RACF, ACF/2, Top
Secret) and can be emailed to any authorized user or sent via FTP.
When the output is processed by SyzSpool, the job's submittor (or whoever the
NOTIFY is set to) will receive a TSO notify or EMAIL (if defined) to tell them
that the output has been processed.
End of marketing.
