Xerox XDPE/400 (also known as EOMS I-Services) Support & Software User Guide

The Combined method is a combination of the Direct and Indirect 

methods of XES packet generation. XDPE/400 creates XES commands 

using an XES command packet from the XDPEFLR/XES folder and the 

XES commands created from the spool file attributes.

When Monitor Queue generates XES control commands in Combined 

mode, the system compares the commands from the XDPEFLR/XES 

folder with the commands generated from the spool file attributes. The 

first occurrence of a duplicate command is deleted and is not written to 

the spool file.
Monitor Queue controls the order in which the XES control commands are 

received. Monitor Queue specifies whether to use commands generated 

from the spool file attributes or XES control commands from the 

XDPEFLR/XES folder. This mechanism is specified by the Order of 

sequence (SEQUENCE) Monitor Queue parameter.
If the Order of sequence parameter is *ATTRIB, Monitor Queue uses the 

XES control commands retrieved from the XDPEFLR/XES folder if a 

parameter is specified by both the spool file attributes and the folder. This 

means that XES control commands from the XDPEFLR/XES folder 

override the XES control commands created from the spool file attributes.
If the Order of sequence parameter is *PACKET, Monitor Queue uses the 

XES control commands whenever a parameter is specified by both the 

folder file and the spool file attributes. This means that XES control 

commands created from spool file attributes override XES control 

commands from the XDPEFLR/XES folder.
