SPRI Report Distribution and Spooling System

Platform: z/VSE and VSEⁿ

The SPRI Report Distribution and Spooling System gives you the VSE output management solution.

Combining reduced costs and time savings with improved quality and increased throughput, SPRI is

the ideal solution for all your printing and report distribution needs.

Full VSE compatibility The SPRI system fully supports the VSE/SP and VSE/ESA operating

systems. When operating under VSE/ESA, SPRI can function alongside or as a replacement for

POWER. Additionally, SPRI:

• Delivers up to 60% faster spooler performance than POWER
• Requires 50% less queue space than other spoolers
• Lets you start printing before a report is complete (Early Print Start)
• Supports NJE and RJE
• Provides full integration with VM
• Allows you to view reports online

SNA/RJE support Software Pursuits has enhanced its SNA/RJE support for VSE in order to

provide features not available with VSE/Power alone. Relief of these restrictions provides an

improved function for VSE/Power customers. Some of these features match support only

available with JES2 (Additional information).

AFP print support Using SPRI with AFP printers takes the guesswork out of printing. SPRI and

AFP printing allow you to:

• Drive your printers at their full rated speed
• Get accurate AFP page counts
• Segment and print large reports on multiple printers
• Direct reports to multiple endpoints
• Bundle AFP reports without additional software

Report distribution and handling are greatly simplified with SPRI. There is no need for additional

software packages. Using SPRI you can extend your current services. For example:

• Bundle reports using one or more criteria
• Split reports for simplified handling
• Restart reports from a specific page or use other criteria
• Distribute report(s) to multiple locations
• Print directly to tape (microfiche input, etc.) or disk

Simplified operations With SPRI, there is no need to retrain your operational staff. SPRI supports

the current POWER command structure in addition to adding the functionality of enhanced SPRI

commands.

• Start printers using route codes, one or more classes, or multiple other criteria
• Dynamically change retention periods
• Delete entries using one or more report characteristics
• Display full report characteristics
• Restart reports from any line, page, or specified text
