NAME
pdgwcfg.conf - HPDPS gateway printer configuration file
DESCRIPTION
When invoked, the pdgwcfg utility (see pdgwcfg(1M)) reads the configuration information from the
/etc/pdgwcfg.conf configuration file. It is used to assist in administering the creation and/or dele-
tion of gateway printers in an HPDPS Basic (non-DCE) environment.
/etc/pdgwcfg.conf contains the following configurable values:
GatewayPrinter:[LocalHostField],LocalSpooler,RemoteHost,RemoteLogicalPrinter[,’Attributes’]
GatewayPrinter The name of the gateway printer. Should be a contiguous string of characters
with no metacharacters. Can be the same name as the RemoteLogicalPrinter for
naming consistency across the enterprise.
LocalHostField An optional field to specify on which hosts this gateway printer should exist. It
has the format:
LocalHost1|LocalHost2|...
or
-LocalHost1|-LocalHost2|...
If the field is empty, it is assumed this entry applies to all hosts. One can expli-
citly define the applicable hosts by separating the hosts with the ’|’ character.
One can also explicitly define an exclude list by prepending the hostname with a
’-’ character.
LocalSpooler The name of the spooler in the local environment to which this gateway printer
is to be added. The spooler must be operational at the time the gateway printer
is created.
RemoteHost Foreign host where the foreign logical printer exists. If the local host on which
this file is being processed matches the RemoteHost value, the entry is ignored
(the logical printer already exists on this local host).
RemoteLogicalPrinter
Name of the existing foreign logical printer. It must have already been created
and be accessible at the time the gateway printer is created.
’Attributes’ An optional field to allow specification of attributes for the gateway printer. The
entire list of attributes should be enclosed by one set of either ’’ or "" characters.
It is taken as an entire string for input into the pdcreate(1) command following
the -x option.
Do not separate the fields by whitespace. A # character in the first column indicates a comment line and
will be ignored. Any line with only whitespace will be ignored. A continuation character \ can be used for
entries that extend to the next line.
EXAMPLES
Each line in the following example /etc/pdgwcfg.conf
file is preceded by a comment (beginning with
#) that explains the entry. Please note that this is an example. Taken as a whole, it is not intended to
represent a configuration that you should use. Its sole purpose is to show the flexibility of the configuration
file.
# /etc/pdgwcfg.conf
# HPDPS Gateway Configuration File used by pdgwcfg(1M)
# Gateway printers named ’mopier’ in spoolers ’local_spl’
# will only be created on ’host8’ and ’host9’.
# The logical printer ’joesmopier’ is located on ’host3’.
# Note: the gateway printer can have a different name than
# the local printer.
mopier:host8|host9,local_spl,host3,joesmopier
# Gateway printers named ’hplaser’ in spoolers ’dps_common_spl’
# will be created on all systems to which this file is propagated
# (since no local hosts are explicitly called out after the colon)
# except ’host2’ (since that is where the printer exists).
