Interoperability Gateways
This command configures a partner gateway named dprint_partner which
administers the logical connection to a special DPRINT spooler. For
dprint_partner any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a
name which indicates to which DPRINT spooler the gateway is configured. With
the option -oh dprint_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the
gateway to the DPRINT spooler is configured. Additionally, you must specify
with -on original_name the name of the DPRINT gateway on the corresponding
BS2000 system if it is not identical with the gateway name dprint_partner. In
practice, original_name and dprint_host are identical; this is the BCAM host name
of the BS2000 system in capital letters.
In this case, the definition of the partner gateway also requires the specification
of the additional option -op
"FT=tns_entry", which specifies the TNS entry of the
FT service on the host for the partner gateway:
The option -ga port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. This
number must correspond to that of the DPRINT gateway of the DPRINT
spooler.
The partner gateway (or a list of partner gateways) must be assigned with the
-bl local_gw option to the local gateway administering the physical connection.
Adjusting the local Xprint V7.0 domain
If the gateway is configured in such a way that the users of the DPRINT system
can also use the printers of the local Xprint V7.0 domain, some adjustments are
required at the local Xprint V7.0 domain, as DPRINT users might print
documents with the EBCDIC character set.
For this reason, a slow filter must be added to the Xprint V7.0 configuration for
every possible content type the DPRINT users might use for EBCDIC
documents.
In any case, at least the following filter is required:
xpadd -flt filter_name -it EBCDIC_ EBCDIC_COMPATIBLE \
-ot ’xpshow -pcl -di ´-id´’ -cm ebcdic2ascii \
-op "pcl *=*" "COMMENT *=1"
This command defines a filter with any unique name filter_name for the DPRINT
format EBCDIC_COMPATIBLE. As the output format for this filter all defined PCLs
are specified. For any other document types you might have to define other
filters using this procedure (e.g. EDCDIC_POSTSCRIPT to POSTSCRIPT):
xpadd -flt ... -it EBCDIC_POSTSCRIPT -ot POSTSCRIPT\
-cm ebcdic2ascii -op "pcl *=*" "COMMENT *=1"
