Managing Jobs and Supporting Users

Finding and Identifying Jobs

A user might contact you to promote a job or to identify and ﬁx a problem

with a job.When this happens, you need to be able to determine the

global job identiﬁer for the job and locate the job. All commands that

affect jobs require the job identiﬁer. Table 11-1 lists the attributes that

identify and describe a job. See the sections immediately following the

table for more information.

Table 11-1 Job Identiﬁcation Attributes

Attribute Description

The following attributes are job identiﬁers.

job-client-id A local job identiﬁer, such as 159, that is unique to a

user. Usually used by users to manage their own jobs.

job-identifier A global job identiﬁer, such as Spool1:2414600001,

that uniquely identiﬁes the job in the distributed print

environment. Consists of a spooler name followed by a

colon and a number. Used by the administrator for job

management.

The following attributes identify the user or users responsible for the job.

user-name The user name and hostname of the user who submitted

the job, in the form

UserName@HostName

. The value

of this attribute is the default ﬁlter, as speciﬁed by the

-f ﬂag, for the pdq and pdls commands.

job-originator The name of the user who submitted the job. This

attribute defaults to the value of the user-name

attribute. The job submittor can specify another person

by using the job-originator attribute with the

pdpr command. In that case, the value of

job-originator is the value supplied by the user.
