Conﬁguring Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers

Creating and Conﬁguring Queues

Figure 6-3 Queue Backlog Upper and Lower Bounds

Based on the values for 45 minutes for the upper boundary and 30

minutes for the lower boundary, the queue becomes backlogged at 10:10,

is no longer backlogged at 10:30, and becomes backlogged again at 10:50.

This example also illustrates the beneﬁts of specifying different values

for the upper and lower boundaries. If both speciﬁed the same value, the

queue would change between the backlogged and non-backlogged states

any time the value for queue-backlog exceeded or became less than the

common boundary. This could happen with the addition of one job to the

queue or when a job in the queue sent to a physical printer ﬁnishes

printing. In Figure 6-3, “Queue Backlog Upper and Lower Bounds,”, if

the values for the upper and lower boundaries were both 45 minutes, the

backlog state would change six times instead of three times.

Receiving Queue Notiﬁcation Messages

You receive notiﬁcation messages about events associated with the queue

through the notiﬁcation proﬁle for the queue. The

notification-profile queue attribute determines which messages you

receive.

The default events for the queue notification-profile attribute are:

• object-cleaned

• object-deleted
