Ricoh InfoPrint Manager for AIX, Manual

Page: 120 / 418

The ainuxjobcompletion accounting exit interface can be used for PSF-driven IPDS
printers. It provides actual (versus projected) accounting data and provides
additional information about completed print jobs.
Customers who migrate from an existing V4.2 InfoPrint Manager server to
InfoPrint Manager V4.3 will continue to find the previous accounting exit interface
intact. Accounting programs that count on the previous accounting interface, which
include the InfoPrint supplied samples, will function without modification.
Customers installing an InfoPrint Manager V4.3 server for the first time will see
the post-print accounting exit activated and the accounting data written to
/var/psf/jobcompletion.log
.
The intent is to minimize migration issues for existing customers, but to start new
customers out with the preferred accounting exit. The default installation for new
machines will not activate both accounting exits. However, when V4.3 is installed,
both new and migrated customers can choose to have the old, preferred, or both
accounting exits active.
If a migrating installation wants to activate the preferred (new) exit, the
administrator must set the
psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary
sheet attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet object to provide the name of
either the InfoPrintsupplied sample exit or a custom version of the preferred exit.
The administrator can also choose to deactivate the old exit by resetting the value
of the
psf-exit-program-name auxiliary attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet
object to <not set> .
If a new installation wants to deactivate the preferred exit and instead run the old
exit, the administrator must reset the
psf-post-print-accounting-program-name
auxiliary sheet attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet object to <not set> . The
administrator can also choose to activate the old exit by setting the value of the
psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary sheet attribute in the
appropriate sheet object to the name of either the InfoPrint supplied sample exit or
a custom version of the old exit.
In both cases, the administrator can also choose to have both exits active by setting
the
psf-exit-program-name
and the
psf-post-print-accounting-program-name
auxiliary sheet attributes to the names of the two accounting programs (old and
preferred). The administrator can also choose to deactivate both exits by leaving
both attributes unset.
How do you format PSF DSS accounting, post-print
accounting, and audit data for viewing?
To view PSF DSS accounting and audit data, you can use one of these executable
reporting utilities that are provided with InfoPrint:
ainupod1
Reports accounting data stored in podaccount.log , sorted by job submitter.
ainupod2
Reports accounting data stored in podaccount.log , sorted by job ID.
ainupod3
Reports times and pages printed by the job submitter from podaccount.log .
