136 IMS in the Parallel Sysplex Volume II: Planning the IMSplex
Non-shared printers
When messages for printers are generated in multiple IMSs in the IMSplex, but the printers
themselves are owned by just one of the IMSs (that is, they are not shared), then the
requirement becomes getting the output to the printer-owning IMS. There are several
solutions to this requirement. The following are two suggested techniques.
Non-shared queues environment
Define all the printer LTERMs as remote MSC LTERMs and let each IMS send printer
output to this remote (could be in the same data center) printer IMS. In this scenario, the
printer IMS cannot be in the same shared queues group as the others, since MSC is not
supported between members of a shared qu ...
