Using Notiﬁcation

Creating a Notiﬁcation Proﬁle Attributes File

Queue1:notification-profile=

{event-identifiers=object-deleted object-cleaned

delivery-method=message delivery-address="lisah" locale=C}

{event-identifiers=queue-backlogged class-queue-status

close-to-discard-time delivery-method=electronic-mail

delivery-address="kathyw@sys1.com" locale=C}

Setting Notiﬁcation Proﬁle Values Using an

Attributes File

Use the -c and -X ﬂags with the pdset command to modify the

notiﬁcation proﬁle for a speciﬁc HPDPS object using values contained in

an attributes ﬁle. You must specify the class of the object (unless it is a

printer) and the object name.

For example, to modify the notiﬁcation proﬁle for the queue Queue1 and

to use the values speciﬁed in the attributes ﬁle Queue1.notif, enter:

pdset -c queue -X Queue1.notif Queue1

Resetting a Notiﬁcation Proﬁle to the Original

Default Values

Use the -c ﬂag and -x notification-profile== to return the

notiﬁcation proﬁle for a speciﬁc HPDPS object to the values it contained

when the object was created. After you have modiﬁed a notiﬁcation

proﬁle, you might ﬁnd that you no longer need the modiﬁcations you

made. But remember, if you did not create the object, the

delivery-address value is reset to the address of the person that did

create the object.

Assume that you created and are responsible for some spoolers and

queues. You have returned from vacation but before you left you changed

the notiﬁcation proﬁles so another person received the messages. You

now want to reset the proﬁles so you will receive the messages.

To reset the notification-profile values for the queue Queue1

contained in spooler Spool1 to the default values, enter the command:

pdset -c queue -x "notification-profile==" Queue1

You will have to do the same with the other notiﬁcation proﬁles you

changed.
