Character set
collection of single
characters with
common features
FGID and GCSGID can be
useful values in data
exchange and conversion.
So do not change values
without knowing the
consequences

Blue string = (existing) industrial

Yellow string = (existing) local print
document
1) the application delivers output records to the central
document management system, RDMS
1) the application write output records to allocated
datasets
2) according to scheduled plan (Tivoli/OPC) the print
data are extracted and supplied with the correct
parametres for execution
3) the documents are formatted with a standard ACIF*
procedure. The dataset containing the print resources
is placed in front of the documents in the document
dataset. The index file is not created – instead internal
indexes called TLEs are created along with security
marks and envelope codes.
4) the dataset is zipped and transmitted for industrial
production.
If the documents are planned to be archives as well
the original RDMs extracted dataset is also used in the
yellow string (point 2½ - 6)
2) according to scheduled plan (Tivoli/OPC) the output
dataset is supplied with the correct parametres for
execution
3) the documents are formatted with a standard ACIF
procedure. The output per document logically consists
of three elements: index, print resources, composed
pages. They can be placed in one, two or three
physical datasets.
4) the composed documents including resources and
indexes are transmitted to the Swedish LPAR (Life &
Pension use Connect Direct). Many of the documents
are also printed on a local printer.
5) as soon as the dataset is recognized (from name,
class, etc.) on the Swedish platform a receipt is send
back and
6) an archive job is started using the parameters
belonging to the job. A final update receipt is send
back to the origin platform.
7) Servlets are used for finding and presenting the
archived documents and will not be described here
