  1. Transport, and MPE Emulation • Job Process Tree • Batchjob • Job logging • Aborting a job • Scheduling a job • Monitoring job progress/status BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  2. Job Management – Transport and MPE Emulation MPE was Originally Released on the HP3000 in 1972 Several IFAS Processes are tied to the MPE structure; specifically printing and job management Bi-Tech developed a product “Transport” which would allow MPE applications to run on Unix BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  3. Job Management – Job Process Tree BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  4. Job Management – Job Process Tree (manipulation) • The “sj” command • MPE Job Queue manipulation commands: • “mpe abortjob j<job number>” • “mpe (press enter) • altjob #j<job number> inpri=<new Job priority>” • “mpe jobfence <new fence level>” • “mpe limit <new job limit>” • *When Running these command in 7i precede them by a : BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  5. Job Management – Job Process Tree (job monitoring) • SJ • The .spool directory • You can monitor the files created in the .spool directory to see job progress and review for errors BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  6. Print Process Management • Client vs Server Printing • Server Print Queue management • OS Local Level Print Queue management • IFAS Print Management • Print logging • Print queue overview • x_print_cmds • The .spool directory BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  7. Print Management – Print Process Tree (print tree) IFAS programs spool to the $HOME/tmp/<pid> directory Once finished, batchjob passes the resulting O* file to x_print_cmds If x_print_cmds passes it to the printer, it will then enter the host’s OS print queue File is then sent to the printer BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  8. Print Management – Print Process Tree (x_print_cmds) • x_print_cmds is an IFAS script which allows redirection of print output • x_print_cmds command line: • $1 = Fully qualified file name to be printed • $2 = The unix device name (printer) associated with the request • ($2 = * means that no device was specified) • $3 = The IFAS USER name associated with the request • $4 = The number of copies reqested • $5 = The file name (TITLE) of the file • $6 = The priority of the print job • $7 = The TTY number of the destination printer • $8 = The IFAS job number assigned by Nucleus • Customizing x_print_cmds BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  9. SETTING UP A PRINTER FOR IFAS The Printer needs to be a PCL printer. Setup is done on the Application Server In control panel, go to Printers and Faxes, then click Add Printer. Choose "Local Printer attached to this computer". Be sure to uncheck "Automatically detect and install Plug and Play". Click Next. Select "Create a New Port". In the Type of Port dropdown, choose "Standard TCP/IP Port". In here, you'll enter the IP address of the print server. Click "Finish". In the Add Printer Wizard window, choose your Manufacturer and Printer Name. Click "Next". At this point, the printer drivers should be loaded on the server. You'll want to give your printer a name. We recommend a short name with no spaces (i.e. HP125, HPLJ112, etc.) Do not share the printer you created. Click "Next". *The name of the printer needs to be a continuous string no hyphens Add a Location and/or Description and click "Next" Print a Test Page. Click "Next".

  10. Make sure that "Print Services for UNIX" is installed at this point. Login into IFAS. Use the NUUPCD mask to setup an NULP common code Code Category:  NULPCode Value:  <Name as you want to appear in IFAS>Long Description: ;dev=<Printer name>,pp,cc BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training

  11. In the 2nd and 3rd fields for Association code you would put the: • LASERL for landscape • LASERLCW for landscape compressed for Windows • LASERR Resets escape • *Note if you want to send printing through a print server: • Modify the x_print_cmds file so that it points to the print server. It is located under sbi/app/xport (at $XPORTDIR/) example below: • dir=$XPORTDIR/.spool • fi • logfile=$dir/reports/print.log • # SERVERNAME=`uname -n` (This section gets commented out) • SERVERNAME=‘[Print Server IP]’ (This section gets added accordingly) • outfence=7 • *In some cases omit the ‘’ and just add the Print Server IP • Print Services for Unix may need to be installed on the Print Server • Examples of Printer Control Codes and  Escape Sequences • http://printers.necsam.com/public/printers/pclcodes/pcl5hp.htm BusinessPLUS System Administrator Training
