Job Name
To improve ODF performance, you can use a submitted job and the persistence feature. 
When you use a job name on distributions, ODF uses a feature of z/OS that allows jobs to run 
in created address spaces. The ODF distribution runs under the job name that is specified. 
For our example, we leave the job name value blank.
Location
The location specifies where the distribution is delivered. We select E-mail for our distribution. 
The following options are available for the Location field:
/SM590000Print: The output is sent to a JES spool file.
/SM590000File: The output is sent to a generation data set (GDS) if a dataset value is specified. 
Otherwise, it is sent to a TSO dataset.
/SM590000None (with “Notify by e-mail” selected): An email is sent to the recipient to notify the 
recipient that the distribution is available.
/SM590000Email: The output is sent as an attachment in an email to the recipient.
Customer Variables
This field contains any information that you might need to pass to the customizable user exits. 
For example, if this distribution requires special spool file allocation options, you can enter the 
information in this field. The preallocation exit can then use the information to change the 
spool file allocation parameters. For our example, we leave this field blank.
Account
This field is optional. This field specifies the name to use on the JCL job card. For our 
example, we leave this field blank.
Distribution Method
The distribution method controls the scheduling and processing of the distribution. Because 
we want the distribution to be processed while the documents are loaded, we select the 
Loaded method. 
The following distribution methods are available:
/SM590000Loaded: The distribution is scheduled for processing when the first report bundle is 
archived or stored in Content Manager OnDemand. The distribution is submitted for print 
processing when all of the report bundles in the distribution with a Wait/Ignore Indicator of 
Wait are loaded.
/SM590000All Ready: The distribution is scheduled for processing when the ODF address space is 
started. The distribution is submitted for print processing when all of the report bundles in 
the distribution with a Wait/Ignore Indicator of Wait are loaded. 
/SM590000External: A process outside of ODF schedules the distribution. The distribution is 
submitted for print processing when all report bundles that are defined with a Wait/Ignore 
Indicator of Wait are loaded. 
Note: The “Notify by e-mail” check box is available for use with Location values of Print, 
File, or None. The selection of the “Notify by e-mail” check box sends an email to the 
recipient to notify them that the distribution is available.
