Issue/Introduction
Applied SPOOL 14.0 for z/OS 2.5 compatibility fixes.
Files that require AFP to PCL transformation are causing the error below:
ESF4110 File nnnn queued for A2PC Transformation
ESF4117 Transformer Interface halted (No X2YYDEF found)
Environment
Resolution
The error indicates the functional subsystem definition required by the Java Transformers is not present in the ESFPARM.
If migrating from the AFP to Java Transformers, please, review, "Migrating from AFP Transformers to Java Transformers", in the SPOOL documentation.
The symptom described indicates the step "Add the Java Transformers Started Task to ESFPARM" has not been executed.
Add the Java Transformers Started Task to ESFPARM
With Java transformers, a separate started task performs the conversions. The connection between Spool and the Java Transformer started task is defined in the Spool parameters (ESFPARM). Therefore, an additional statement, X2YYDEF, is required in ESFPARM:
X2YYDEF x2yyname, Transformation FSS name
PROC=CAIQD2E, FSS JCL procedure name
MAXTASK=10, Max concurrent transformations
DEFAULT=YES Implicit X2YYDEF
