Printers can be defined or modified once the region has been started, using the
Enterprise Server for .NET Administration UI's
Printers view, or from the command-line using the
seeout or
casoututilities. Normally, printers would be defined in the region startup file to ensure that they are immediately available to print job outputs once the region starts. However, there may be a need to modify the properties of existing printers, or start new ones after a region has been started, due to a change in workload, for example. This procedure demonstrates how to define printers in a running JES region, from the
Enterprise Server for .NET Administration UI's
Printers view:
Note that any changes made in this view will be lost at the next cold-start of the region unless the corresponding changes are made to the printer configuration in the region startup file. However, changes made in this view will be retained across subsequent warm-starts of the region.
