4.6.1 Introduction
PRISMAproduction LU 6.2 requires PRISMAproduction with APA and SNAP-IX to be in-
stalled. The APA-Module LU 6.2 enables you to print on an OPS printing system from a
mainframe (MVS) running SPS or PSF via an SNA network.
The APA-Module LU 6.2 buffers the data on a hard disk and then prints it. A terminal emu-
lation can run via the SNA network connection at the same time, meaning that the MVS
SPOOL can be displayed under the APA-Module LU 6.2.
The figure on the next page illustrates an LU 6.2 connection between the MVS host and the
APA-Module print server via an SNA network. The figure also shows a screenshot of the
MVS mainframe operator console.
In the 3270 terminal window, you can submit MVS print jobs and transfer them to the spool
system of the PRISMAproduction server via an SNA network (represented in the figure by
"Token Ring LU 6.2").
The display component, LU62 Status, keeps you informed on the progress of the data
transfer.
