The second spooled file monitor screen displays the details entered on the first screen, in addition a 40-character description can be entered. This screen also allows the Status to be changed, use the F7 function key to set the status to 'online' and the F8 function key to set the status to 'offline'.
Pressing F10=Data queue allows you to change the SPLMON data queue used if you wish to start more than one SPLMON job in the CPPD subsystem. Note: In Cobwebb Server v6.2.61 and prior, a maximum of five SPLMON jobs may be started in the CPPD subsystem i.e. 5 different data queues. If you do create more than 5 data queues then only the first 5 jobs will be started in the CPPD Subsystem and you will see a message in the CPPD subsystem startup joblog. In newer versions the maximum has been increased to 1000.
