Managing Jobs and Supporting Users
Finding and Identifying Jobs
NOTE The value of the local job identifier is generated by the client program
and is unique for a given UserName . If a user signs on to more than one
system, the values of the job-client-id are unique for each system. In
this case, it is possible for the same user name to have more than one job
with the same local job identifier. However, the global job identifier for
each job is unique. The HostName portion of the user-name attribute for
the job specifies the different hosts in this situation.
Understanding the user-name, job-originator, and
job-owner Attributes
When a user submits a job, the user-name, job-originator, and
job-owner job attributes default to the same value.
HPDPS derives these values from the UserName of the user who
submitted the job; the values are in the form of UserName@HostName .
Most often, users will let these attributes have their default values. A
user might occasionally specify a value for the job-owner attribute if the
printed output is to go to another person. This value might print on the
start sheet, depending on the printer model. The user can also use the
delivery-address component of the results-profile job attribute to
specify the name or names of the recipients of printed output. See
“Setting Up the Job results-profile” later for more information about the
results-profile attribute.
Understanding the job-name Attribute
The job-name attribute is specifiable and settable by the user. If the user
does not specify a value, the value of the attribute defaults tothe name of
the first document in the job. The job name, in the form of a text string,
might be printed on the start sheet of the job and will help to identify the
job. The value of the job-name attribute also displays in the Name column
when you perform job queries.
Finding Jobs Submitted by Other Users
If a user contacts you and does not know the global job identifier for their
job, you can use the -U and -f flags with the pdq and pdls commands to
determine the global job identifier and other information about the job.
