OMC-TCP/IP

The architecture of OMC-TCP/IP is centered around the interaction between the z/OS operating system, the Job Entry Subsystem (JES), and the TCP/IP network. The core components include: * **TCP/IP Listener:** This component listens for incoming print data from the network. It receives print jobs sent to the configured IP address and port.

* **Print Spooler Interface:** This component interfaces with JES to retrieve print jobs. It intercepts the print output from JES and passes it to the Output Router. * **Output Router:** This component directs the print data to the target printer.

It uses the configuration files to determine the destination printer's IP address, port, and other settings. These components communicate using the TCP/IP protocol suite. The Print Spooler Interface interacts with JES through standard z/OS interfaces.

The Output Router sends print data to the target printer using protocols such as LPR/LPD or direct TCP printing. Configuration files, stored on the z/OS system, define printer destinations, network settings, and print job parameters. There are no specific databases or storage mechanisms used beyond the standard z/OS file system for configuration files and logging.

, port 9100 for direct TCP printing). The system relies on the underlying z/OS security infrastructure for access control and does not provide its own authentication or encryption mechanisms. The logging capabilities provide detailed information about print job activity, errors, and system events, which can be used for auditing and troubleshooting.
