Printer Systems (PRINT)
PSF/AIX
PRINT XPSF6000
My customer is using PSF for AIX version 2 under AIX 4.2 system.
When he uses the "enq" command to put a file on the printing queue he's
able to "hold" the job using " enq -H " command.
Is it possible to hold the job when putting it on the printing queue
using "psfin" command. Is there a job script parameter allowing this
option ?
A:
There is no job script parameter or flag for psfin in PSF/AIX V2 that
lets you submit a job into held status. I know of one customer who
has a queue that he keeps disabled -- his users submit their jobs to
that queue, then he moves the jobs he wants to print to enabled queues.
Or, you could set up an AIX queue that can pass jobs to psfin (the
instructions from the AIX Support Center are in libraried item
RTA000148041). You could enq -H to that AIX queue, then release it
from there. (I haven't tried it myself, but logically it should work.)
If your customer is considering migrating from PSF/AIX to InfoPrint
Manager, in InfoPrint you can use pdpr with the -x "job-hold=true"
attribute-value pair to submit a job in held status (or set that
attribute in the default job object).
Thanks for using WWQ&A.
