Naming Spooler Components and Files
Naming Spooler Components and Files
If you name a spooler component or file, observe the guidelines in Table 15-1, which
allow for expansion of the file name across the network.
Note. All spooler components, including the supervisor, collectors, print processes, and data
files for the collectors, should reside on a single system. Output devices can reside elsewhere.
