DMCF

The DMCF architecture is designed to provide a robust and scalable solution for managing print output on z/OS. The core components include the DMCF core, which handles the primary functions such as job management, queue control, and system configuration. Interface modules (TSO, CICS, VTAM) provide access to the core functionality through their respective environments.

DMCF Web Access provides a web-based interface for remote management. Communication between components relies on the underlying z/OS communication mechanisms. The system utilizes configuration files for storing settings and user preferences.

The z/OS security system is leveraged for authentication and authorization. Data storage relies on z/OS file systems and potentially external databases for logging and auditing. The system supports various protocols including those used by TSO, CICS, VTAM, and standard web protocols.

The architecture is designed for high availability and can be configured to meet specific performance requirements. The system's modular design allows for easy integration with other z/OS components.
