Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The architecture of Printer Monitor is centered on a z/OS started task (PMON). The main component is the Printer Monitor daemon, which continuously monitors the status of CA IDMS printers. The daemon interacts with the z/OS operating system and CA IDMS to detect printer failures and initiate reactivation.
Communication between the daemon and the printers occurs through z/OS system calls and CA IDMS interfaces. Configuration settings, including reactivation intervals and printer definitions, are stored in a configuration file. This file is read by the daemon at startup and periodically to check for changes.
The product does not expose any APIs. There are no external databases or storage mechanisms. The product does not use any specific network ports.
