Getting Help for Notification Messages
Use the pdmsg command and specify the message number to display help
for notification messages you receive.
For example, you receive notification messages similar to the following
regarding the backlogged status of Queue1 contained in the spooler
Spool1.
To: syoussef@hope.bpc.datacom.com
Subject: 5010-192 Message from HPDPS server: Spool1
[05/23/95 07:26:381] 5010-304 The queue
Spool1:Queue1 is backlogged.
To receive help for message 5010-304, enter:
pdmsg 5010-304
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
5010-304 The queue is backlogged.
5010-304
EXPLANATION: HPDPS calculates that there are too many jobs
in this queue for all the jobs to print within the time
specified by the queue-backlog-upper-bound value.
A notification-profile value requested that you be notified
of the event queue-backlogged.
SYSTEM ACTION: The queue continues to accept jobs, but there will
be a delay before they print.
RESPONSE: Alleviate the backlog by moving some of the
jobs to a different queue or by adding physical printers to
this queue.
