All commands will be issued via the XPCC interface to SPRI so that BIM-FAQS/ASO will not undermine SPRI security. IMODS and GSFAQS commands still have the ability to enter SPRI commands via AR, but should use XPCC processing when possible. 3) Now you are ready to IPL... -------------------------------------------------------------------- To enter any SPRI commands from BIM-FAQS/ASO, you will need to either use the on-line interface or prefix the commands with "SPL " or "SPRI " .. To access the on-line interface, you can use the menu (SPOOL) panels or enter D LST/RDR/PUN to access the queue you wish. You also can enter D A to see the active SPRI elements, etc. Ordinarily for POWER, BIM_FAQS/ASO can provide jobname/destination and/or class security. For SPRI support, these functions are not needed and are therefore not supported.
