Product Overview

The architecture of VPS/Report Browse is centered around several key components designed to provide efficient print job management within the z/OS environment. The Report Browser Interface serves as the primary user interface, allowing users to interact with the system through commands. The JES Spool Access Module is responsible for retrieving report data from the JES SPOOL, supporting both JES2 and JES3.

The Print Management Engine processes user requests, manages print parameters, and controls the output destination. These components communicate using z/OS system services, ensuring seamless integration with the operating system. Data storage relies on the JES spool for storing print files.

Security is managed through z/OS security features, such as RACF, with role-based access control. Audit logging is provided through z/OS system logs. The system does not expose REST or SOAP APIs, relying on native z/OS interfaces for integration.

Network requirements are minimal, using standard z/OS network configurations for accessing the JES spool and print destinations. Compared to other solutions, VPS/Report Browse offers direct integration with the JES SPOOL, providing a streamlined approach to print job management.
