WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 4/4/2002                                             Requirement #:  WAVV200255

Product Name:    PSF     Product Release#:      

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)PSF does not easily allow for testing PAGEDEF and FORMDEF

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

PSF can be forced to reload AFP resources each time they are used with the SET PAGEDEF=0  SET FORMDEF=0 commands.  The problem is that these can only be issued for started printers.  We need a way to tell PSF to use these parms for specific PRINTDEV's (test printers) whenever they are started.

                                                                                             

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) MEDIUM

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) 6 months

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Ease of Use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

In a development environment, it is desirable to have PSF reload resources each

time they are used so any changes made in testing are picked up.   Additional work

is required with the current method of  forcing the PAGEDEF=0 and FORDEF=0 to be specified manually after a printer is started.  If these commands are not issued,

time can be wasted in debugging why your changes didn’t take.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

     

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
