Character setcollection of single characters with common features
FGID and GCSGID can be useful values in data exchange and conversion. So do not change values without knowing the consequences

FONTS
Basic information per font and character set
Create raster font family with character sets
Create one rasterfont and character set
Create an outline (vector)font and character set

Blue string = (existing) industrial print document
1) the application delivers output records to the central document management system, RDMS
2) according to scheduled plan (Tivoli/OPC) the print data are extracted and supplied with the correct parametres for execution
3) the documents are formatted with a standard ACIF* procedure. The dataset containing the print resources is placed in front of the documents in the document dataset. The index file is not created – instead internal indexes called TLEs are created along with security marks and envelope codes.
4) the dataset is zipped and transmitted for industrial production.
If the documents are planned to be archives as well the original RDMs extracted dataset is also used in the yellow string (point 2½ - 6)
* ACIF = AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility.
Yellow string = (existing) local print document
1) the application write output records to allocated datasets
2) according to scheduled plan (Tivoli/OPC) the output dataset is supplied with the correct parametres for execution
3) the documents are formatted with a standard ACIF procedure. The output per document logically consists of three elements: index, print resources, composed pages. They can be placed in one, two or three physical datasets.
4) the composed documents including resources and indexes are transmitted to the Swedish LPAR (Life & Pension use Connect Direct). Many of the documents are also printed on a local printer.
5) as soon as the dataset is recognized (from name, class, etc.) on the Swedish platform a receipt is send back and
6) an archive job is started using the parameters belonging to the job. A final update receipt is send back to the origin platform.
7) Servlets are used for finding and presenting the archived documents and will not be described here
