Adding, Replacing, or Deleting Values from
Notification Profiles
This section contains the following examples:
• displaying the contents of a notification profile
• modifying the notification profiles for HPDPS objects and customizing
the lists of events
You can customize notification profiles to specify who receives
notification messages for a specific object. You can also configure the
notification profile so that different people receive notification messages
for different events relating to the same object.
When you first create an object and do not specify a notification profile,
HPDPS provides a default notification profile. The default notification
profile contains:
event- identifiers The ones that are identified in the
class- object -default item from the notification
event classes. The object can be job, logical printer,
physical printer, queue, or server. See Table 7-2 for the
events within default classes.
delivery-method electronic-mail
delivery-address Your UserName and HostName
locale Your locale setting based on your LANG environment
variable
If the person who will be responsible for the object is someone else, the
notification profile should be modified right away.
One of the restrictions for a notification profile is that the
event-identifiers component is the only component that can have
multiple values. Therefore, it is necessary to have more than one
notification profile value if more than one person is to receive messages
about that object or the creator wants two delivery methods set.
You must use the += and -= operators when you are updating a
notification profile using the pdset command if you want to keep the rest
of the notification profile. If you do not, HPDPS replaces the entire
notification profile with what you enter (which might be exactly what you
