saved spool files, moving spool files, or sending spool files
to networked systems automatically and tracking report locations
for restore/recovery.
Saving Spool Files

based on the age, in days, or based on the user.
Files can be further qualified by using the spool file creation
date and time ranges, spool file status or number of days old.

be saved to media or microfiche format for easy processing by
a microfiche vendor.

same format they were when saved, restoring all of the spool
file attributes such as the sameform type, number of copies,
lines per page, original user and job name and all advanced function
printing characteristics. If spool files was zipped, then spool
file(s) will be immediately available to restore. Since the save
was tapeless, the restore will be tapeless, thus saving valuable
time in the restore process.

to be sent across multiple networked AS/400s. e-Spool™
can be run continuously send an unlimited number of spool files
to iSeries 400 systems. Totally Transparent moving of spool files

spool files to be moved from one output queue to another on the
same system or another AS/400. Spool files attached to a backlogged
output queue may be moved to one that has less activity without
changing each spool file individually. This increases the efficient
use of system resources.

all spool files that were saved/zipped and not saved/zipped upon
completion of the save process. At any time, an inquiry can be
run showing all saved spooled files. selection criteria allows
you to view subsets of the list.

The speed and efficiency of the save and restore functions
are highlights of this robust product. e-Spool™
fully utilizes the capabilities of the AS/400 and iSeries 400.
The tapeless zipped system if the most efficient method on the
AS/400 today. The system writes spool files directly to tape,
savf or zipped file. Zipped files use minimal amount of DASD,
which distinguishes e-Spool™
from competing products. This saves valuable AS/400 and/or iSeries
400 resources. In addition, the high speed of save and restore
zip functions reduces processing time, while using minimal DASD
leaves space for other data. e-Spool™

production programs or a job scheduler. It can be installed in
a zip.
