The Data Services Agents page now includes check boxes to enable you to kill one or more agent.
Select the check box next to each agent, and click Kill Selected Agents, as shown in the following image.

An email retrieval procedure can now be entered in the Mail To field on the Manage Schedule and E-Mail and Submit with E-Mail (Run with Options) pages, as well as the E-Mail field on the Customize New Event Routing page.

On PDS servers, you can now limit the size of edaprint.log using the edaprint_max_lines and edaprint_max_days parameters. This allows you to delete the log from the JES spool when a limit has been reached.

These parameters are available from the Workspace page by opening the Logs and Traces folder, right-clicking Workspace Logs, and selecting Properties.
The Workspace Logs Properties page opens, as shown in the following image.
The edaprint_max_lines parameter defines the maximum number of lines in an edaprint.log before it is archived, and a new edaprint.log is started.
The edaprint_max_days parameter defines the maximum number of days from the time the server is started before an edaprint.log is archived and a new edaprint.log is started.
