Table 5–1: Server Object Attributes (cont.)
Attributes Description
job-attributes-visibable-to-all Lists job and documentation attributes
that are visible to nonowners of the job
with the pdls and pdq commands.
message
A test string indicating the sate
of the server.
notification-profile Specifies the events for users notification
and specifies the notification method.
job-completion-period Specifies the amount of time the
spooler maintains job objects after jobs
are completed and retained. This is
different from job retention because
the document files are not kept. When
the retention period is over and the
completion period has begun, a job can
not be resubmitted for re-print
hold-jobs-interrupted-by-printer-failure Specifies whether jobs returned to the
spooler after a restart should be put
in the hold or pending state.
filter-definition Defines one or more translation or
modification filters supported by
the supervisor and defines how the
filter is invoked. If you intend to
print text documents on a PostScript
printer, then you need to set up the
text-to-PostScript translation filter,
as described in Section 8.2
5.2.1 Examples of Setting Server Object Attributes
The following examples show how to set some of the more common server
attributes for spoolers and supervisors.
• The descriptor attribute is a text string that provides a description of
the server. You can modify this attribute using both the Command Line
Interface (CLI) and the pdprintadmin GUI. The following command
line shows how to set the descriptor attribute for a server:
# pdset -c server \
-x ’descriptor="Print spooler on node blue"’ blue_spl
• The job-attributes-visible-to-all attribute sets specific job
attributes to be available to all users with the pdls command.
To get a detailed description of the print activity when you issue the pdls
command, you can set more job attributes as visible to all. The following
