Release Notes - New Features included in Release 2.4.0
Page 68 of 89
The ‘Forms queuing option’ (AF) of datei has been removed, as the forms field can now be defined
by DPMT.
Prior to this release, some transactions accessed BAPD information to define where documents
were to be printed. This is no longer necessary and the relevant information will be transferred to
the DPMT table by the 2.4.0 upgrade.
Four new forms types have been added to the standard forms for the HPL4I printer. These will
cause printers with a duplex tray to print in duplex. The forms are:
• PORTD Portrait Duplex for Long Edge binding
• PORTS Portrait Duplex for Short Edge binding
• LANDD Landscape Duplex for Long Edge binding
• LANDS Landscape Duplex for Short Edge binding
These forms will NOT be added to any existing print queues, and will be need to be added to the
relevant queues by the PQFM transaction.
4.3.5.3 Batch Run Control (SR3553)
It is now possible to control the availability of online and background servers within a Batch run.
Two new directives have been introduced which may be incorporated into the batch run control
scripts (e.g. null.p090).
These are ‘!NOSERVERS’ and ‘!SERVERS’. The first will stop all online and background servers,
and the batch run will not proceed until all servers have actually stopped. The servers will be
restarted by the following ‘!SERVERS’ entry.
Intermediate commands such as ‘!RESTART’ will leave the servers down; although the manager
server will still be restarted.
These directives are a better alternative to the existing operint commands which may be included in
batch run control scripts as the batch run will not continue until the action has been successfully
processed.
4.3.5.4 Remote access to Background queue (SR3986)
This is a new program (ith2remote) that will insert one or more transactions into the background
queue.
This is useful when requiring to involve the TIGI interface quickly, but the supply of files is
infrequent (e.g. 1 file per day at random times to be processed within 1 minute).
The program may be invoked from a remote UNIX or Windows computer using the remsh (HP-
UX) or the rsh operating system commands and will run on the TROPOS Server in the standard
database environment.
ith2remote will take a command line parameter of form :
[yyyyyyyy]nnxxxxxxxxxx…
