Using Notification
Notification Profile Examples by HPDPS Object Type
This creates the initial-value-job object IVJGrp1 and associates it with
logical printer LogPrt2 in spooler Spool3. The notification profile
contains:
notification-profile=
{event-identifiers=class-job-default close-to-discard-time
past-discard-time job-timed-out delivery-method=message
locale=C}
Note that the delivery-address component is missing. When a user
submits a job to this logical printer, the delivery-address for the
messages is set to the UserName ; therefore, that user will receive the
messages.
Job Notification Profile Information
When you submit a job, you can use the default notification profile, a
modified version of the default notification, or your own notification
profile.
There are several ways to set notification for your jobs:
• Default Notification
If you do not specify your own values for the notification-profile
attribute when you submit a job, HPDPS uses the default notification
profile. For the vast majority of users, the default notification profile
gives adequate results. See Table 7-2 for a list of the events contained
in the class-job-default class.
• Default Notification by e-mail
You can receive the default events for your job by submitting a job
with the -N flag value set to e-mail. By doing this, you cause a
notification profile to be set for that job that uses the default events,
your address and locale, and that sends the message by e-mail.
• Using an Initial-Value-Job Object
You can submit your job to a logical printer that has an
initial-value-job object associated with it and receive the messages for
the events defined in that initial-value-job object.
You can submit your job and identify the initial-value-job object you
want by using the -x flag.
