Managing Jobs and Supporting Users

Setting Up the Job results-proﬁle

You enter the same command, but set the interface-program-method

job attribute to lp:

pdpr -x "copy-count=4 interface-program-method=lp \

results-profile=:::2" document1 document2 document3

A banner page (auxilliary start sheet) is included for each job copy.

The default value for the interface-program-method is hpdps. For

more information on the interface-program-method attribute, see the

pd_att_job(5) manpage.

Specifying Multiple Values for the results-proﬁle Attribute

The results-profile attribute is a multi-valued attribute; each value

represents a result-set. To specify multiple values, you need to explicitly

specify the delivery-address component for each result-set.

In the following example, the results-profile attribute has three

values:

-x "results-profile=::address_1:2: ::address_2:3: ::address_3:

2:"

Each result-set has one or more job-copies speciﬁed by the fourth

component of the value.

When you use the pdpause command, the pause point is between the

result-sets.

Setting Up a results-proﬁle with an initial-value-job

You can create an initial-value-job object that sets values for the

results-profile attribute. This can be useful if you have speciﬁc jobs

that must be routinely printed, such as a monthly report, and that have

the same recipients. Following is an example of how to specify a value for

the results-profile of an initial-value-job object:

pdcreate -c initial-value-job -x "results-profile= \

:'Bldg.10-2, Rm. C-55'::2: \

:'Bldg.3-3, Rm. F-04'::3:" \

Spool3:IVJMary2

You usually do not associate this type of initial-value-job object with a

logical printer; you could make it available for use by users when they

submit their jobs. Instruct the users to specify this initial value object

with the initial-value-job job attribute.
