CL Command Reference - STRRMTWTR
CL Command List > STRRMTWTR Reference
Description:
The Start Remote Writer (STRRMTWTR) command starts a spooling writer that sends spooled files from an output queue to a remote system. The writer, which is a system job, takes spooled files from an output queue and sends them to a remote system using SNADS or TCP/IP.
After the spooled file is successfully sent to a remote system, the spooled file will be deleted or saved, as specified by the SAVE spooled file attribute.
More than one writer can be active at the same time (as determined by the spooling subsystem description), and up to 10 writers can be active to the same output queue. Each writer must have a unique writer name, and only one type (print, remote, or diskette) of writer can be active to a single output queue. A writer that has been started can be actively sending output or waiting for a file to be put on the output queue. Optionally, the writer can end automatically when it has processed all the files on the output queue. You can also change, hold, or cancel the writer.
You can continue with other work after starting a writer because each job runs independently. The writer is owned by the user who issues the STRRMTWTR command.
Examples:
STRRMTWTR OUTQ(RMTOUTQ) WTR(TOM)
This command starts a spooling writer named TOM. This writer takes the output from the output queue named RMTOUTQ and sends the output to the remote system and printer queue specified in the output queue RMTOUTQ. Writer messages are sent to the system operator¡¯s message queue, and the writer waits for more output when the queue is emptied.
