3.6 Activating Changes to the Queue Definitions
When you create or modify the DCPS$STARTUP.COM file, you must activate
the changes for the DECprint Supervisor to use the new queue definitions.
You can wait until you stop and restart the system, or you can execute the
DCPS$STARTUP.COM file, as follows:
1. Stop the print queues that you modified. If any of the modified queues are
running on a multistreamed symbiont, stop all other queues that are using
that same symbiont (see Section 3.4.1.2). To stop the queues, enter the
following command for each print queue:
$ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT queuename
2. Edit the system startup file SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to
include a command that invokes DCPS$STARTUP.COM.
Look for the following command in the system startup file:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$STARTUP
If this command is not in the system startup file, add it to the file. Use the
following guidelines:
• If you are using a printer with TCP/IP, add the new line after TCP/IP
is started.
• If you are using a printer with LAT, add the new line after LAT is
started.
• If you are using a printer with AppleTalk, add the new line after
AppleTalk is started.
• If you are using a PrintServer printer with DECnet, add the new line
after the command to invoke STARTNET.COM. PrintServer Software
must be running on the PrintServer host system before you start the
queues.
