Install the supplied fonts and codepages
A minimal of sample AFP fonts in the CG Courier typeface are provided on the installation
tape in 300 pel .
These fonts have been provided as samples only, to allow for installation validation, and
can be used in conjuncti on w i th AFP gener ator progr ams, and f or printing wit h

Create an APF authorized Library (or use an existing authlib)
Creation of an authorized APF library can be performed by modifying the SYS1.PARMLIB
member I EAAPF00. Supply t he name and volume of the new APF authorized library, e.g.

Authorize the IDAXFC PROC
Permit the IDAXFC program module to run in KEY=1 by adding an entry to the Program
Properties Table (PPT) found in the SYS1.PARMLIB SCHEDXX member. The following
example indicat es the attribut es required for the PPT:
PPT PGMNAME(IDAXFC) /* PROGRAM MODULE */
CANCEL /* CAN BE CANCELLED */
KEY(1) /* PROTECTION KEY */
AFF(NONE) /* NO PROCESSOR AFFINITY */
Dynamic activ ation of PPT table entries can be performed on newer MVS and OS/390 systems using the authorized MVS Operator SET SCH command, e.g. to activate member
SCHED04, use the following command sequenc e:
T SCH=04,L
Authorize the IDAXFC program module
Permit the idaXFC PROC/program read access to fonts, XES forms and overlays from the
system libraries i n R ACF or other security system(s). Where user libraries will be used, the
security rules of the job submitter and the idaXFC will be in effect for these datasets.
Create/Modify IDAXFC Program Security Rules
A number of datasets are dynamically allocated during the operation of the IDAXFC which
are used for logging. Permit the IDAXFC program to write on a non-temporary volume by
creating/modifying system access security rules (if required). The high level dataset qualifier used during dataset creation is supplied in the IDAXFC profile DD NAME parameter.
JES2 Installation
The following modifications must be included in the JES2 param eter deck to define an FSS
system and any associated printers.

The remainder of the installation procedure is identical to the installation required in
conjunction with the JES2 or JES3 spool systems. Refer to "Sample IDAXFC Procedure" fo r a listing of a sample C A-Spool startup Proc.
Reinitialize The System
It should be possible to dynamically add all necessary system definitions using MVS operator cons ole commands (authorized) to s tart idaXFC, e.g.
• APF member changes ( T PROG=xx, for SYS1.PARMLIB m ember PRO Gxx)
• PPT member changes ( T SCH=xx, for SYS1.PARMLIB member SCHxx)
• JES FSS and printer definitions
• Security modi fications (as required)
For earli er versions of MVS , an I PL may be requir ed to i mpl ement the P PT changes. A JES
COLD start will be required to permanently add FSS and Printer definition changes.
Consult relev ant IBM publications f or further inf ormation.

A proclib definition is requir ed th a t w ill be re f e r e n c e d whe n the

IDAXFC Control Profile Descri ption
The IDAXFC profile is used to supply idaXFC configuration options, e.g. general
customization and print er definitions . The profile must be lo cated in a separate member or
dataset (not instream) with a maximum width of 80 characters). The profile is divided into
two sections, general definitions related to the entire subsystem and individual printer definitions. Printer related informati on consists of two components, a default pri nter profile and
specif i c pr i nter defi n i tions.
The d e f a ult printe r defin it io n is u s ed t o spe c ify t h e def a ult va lues that w ill b e used fo r s uccessive printer definitions. Multiple default statements can be included to permit for generation of defau lt attributes for eac h printe r type. Values specified in the default definition will

Printer specific information can be included with in this definition,
A sample profi le is indicated in Figure 4 on page 24.
Profile Keyword Syntax
The IDAXFC profile can be up to 80 characters, and consists of keyword and subparameter values. Keyword values mus t be placed in column one, followed by one or more
sub-parameters (as appropriate) separated by a space. The comma is used as a continuation character after the l ast keywor d, and th e following sub-parameter s can be placed on
consecutive li nes after column one.
Lines that do not contain a keyword, or are not continuation lines are interpreted as comment statements.
The following profile keywords can be defined:
• DEF AULT (defaul t printer definitions)
The default statement must always be placed prior to the first PRINTER statement
within each FSS system. Multiple DEFAULT statements can be defined (e.g. after
printer statements to enable the definition of printer opti ons by pri nter type).
• FSSNAM E (FSS name) - used to define multiple FSS's within a sing le profile. This
keyword is not applicable when only a single FSS is defi ned.
• PRIN T ER (1 to 2200 pr i n t er def initions)
Up to 2200 printers can be defined in each FSS subsystem. Multiple subsystems can
be defin ed to address additi onal printers.
A sample idaXFC profile definition is illustrated on the following page that can be used
to control multiple printers fr om a single functional subsystem:

Printer definition and customization is performed using the PRINTER and DEFAULT
keywords. The types of customization are spool file output destination, output formatting
options, printer resource definitions and error processing options. The DEFAULT keyword
can be used to reduce the number of definitions required for individual printers, and to select your installation specific de fault values. Unless stated, all values are optional.
The following keywords can be used with the idaXFC profile PRINTER and DEFAULT
statements. The first keywor d that must always be specified for each PRI NTER statement
is the PRTID keyword, which identifies the printer's JES name. The remainder of the
keywords c an be specified in a ny sequence (comma separated). If more than one k ey word
