I installed NPF and had it working for my testing. That was about 4 months ago. Now, I it's time to set up the real printers so we can start using it in production. But, now my original test no longer works. NPF will no longer pull the print from the JES queue and place it in the routing queue.

Turns out that our contract sysprog decided to 'get it working' after I already had it working, and messed something up. And, of course, he did not save any of the working setup and can't tell me what he did.

I have been though the JES2 setup and the NPF setups and can't find the problem. I think I just need a second set of eyes.

JCL:
//CMPRT01  DD SYSOUT=(R,,TONY),
//         DCB=(RECFM=FM),DEST=PZGWHFL1

Routing Entries:
         EZAPPFL TYPE=ROUTING,
               MAJKEY=PZGWHFL1,
               MINKEY=RTONY,
               RETAINS=5,
               RETAINU=10,
               RETRYT=5,
               RETRYL=2,
               NDEST=1,
               OPTNAME=NONE,
               INAME=10.10.50.06,
               PNAME=PZGWHCR1
         EZAPPFL TYPE=OPTIONS,
               OPTNAME=NONE,
               OPTIONS=TRACE
-
JES2 config:
FSS(FSS1) PROC=NPF,
       HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM,AUTOSTOP=YES
OUTCLASS(R) BLNKTRNC=YES,
         OUTDISP=(KEEP,KEEP),
         OUTPUT=PRINT,
         TRKCELL=NO
PRT(7)  CLASS=R,
        FSS=FSS1,
        DRAIN,MODE=FSS,
        PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE),
        UCS=0,
        SE=NO,
        SEP=YES,
        SEPDS=NO,
        CKPTPAGE=100,
        START=NO,
        SETUP=NOHALT,
        NPRO=0,
        MARK=YES,
        TRKCELL=YES,
        WS=(Q,R/)

When I start the printer ($SPRT7), the NPF FSS auto-starts as expected. It just never pulls the print output from the JES2 queue.

Thanks,

Tony Thigpen
