Q:
Topic thread:
Printer Systems (PRINT)
PSF/AIX
PRINT XPSF6000
Is 5765-505 supported on AIX V4.3? If not, will it run on AIX V4.3?
Or is there a follow-on product that will run on AIX V4.3?
A:
I checked with the PSF/AIX and InfoPrint product tester in Boulder.
He is able to install and use PSF/AIX on AIX 4.3 with one minor
exception, which is that he was unable to use the ASCII/curses
version of "smit -c psf" to submit print jobs (the creation of job
scripts failed); however, the AIXwindows version worked fine, so you
can work around this as necessary. The developers are looking at this
minor problem, so it should be fixed anyway in the not-too-distant
future.
The tester did verify that the transforms worked and that he could
print to S/370 Channel Emulator/A-attached printers.
So with the minor caveat I noted above, you can use PSF/AIX on AIX
V4.3 systems and Boulder will accept APARs on this configuration.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
You *must* order and apply current PTFs for PSF/AIX in order for it
to work under AIX V4. Otherwise, you'll see core dumps and error
messages when you try to print or manage PSF devices.
| InfoPrint Manager V2.1.1 is not officially supported on AIX V4.3.
| However, there is a "toleration" PTF that can enable InfoPrint 2.1.1
| to function on a 4.3 system. Full support for 4.3 is available in
| InfoPrint Manager 3.1 (5648-B34) which GA's 23 October 1998.
Thanks for using ViewBlue/WWQ&A.
