Transfer spooled files from one AS400 server to another

[paul]

Guys, Do you know how to transfer spooled files from one AS400 server to another?

here's the situation

We have a printer that is connected to one AS400 server(lets call it server 1)

but we need to print the spooled files from another as400 server(lets call it server 2).

so we need to transfer the spooled files from server 2 to server 1.

And we just cannot transfer the server1 printer to server2.

what is the easiest and fastest way to do this?

Thanks!

Paul,

We set up the OUTQD to point to the other server, one assumes you have TCP/IP connection between them.

The output Queue name is (AAA) on both systems.

Note - when you move the spoolfiles to OUTQ(AAA) on server 1 they will automatically spool to OUTQ(AAA) on server 2, but as normal they will then be DELETED from server 1 unless you specify SAVE(*YES)

Use the IP address of server 2 instead of 111.111.111.111

                      Work with Output Queue Description
