Other notification methods
Notify-operator attribute
The notify-operator attribute is a scaled-down version of a notification profile. It
can only be set on InfoPrint Manager queues and actual destinations and can only
use the
e-mail , message , exit and wireless delivery methods. In addition, it only
sends messages when one of these events occur.
1. A job is added to a queue.
2.
An actual destination starts processing a job.
3. An actual destination finishes processing a job.
The syntax of the notify-operator attribute is:
delivery-method:delivery-address
See Table 13 on page 121 for descriptions of the e-mail and message delivery
methods and their corresponding delivery addresses. By default, the
notify-operator attribute is set to
message: your user ID@your node when you
create an actual destination or a queue. To change the value for an actual
destination, you can use the
Notification
tab of the properties notebook. To change
the value for a queue, use the pdset command.
The messages that the notify-operator attribute delivers are not standard error
messages like the ones you receive when you use a full notification profile. Instead,
you write the messages that you want to send and specify them as attributes of
jobs when you submit them.
Note: You must either specify those attributes in the command when you submit
the job or set the text in the job and document defaults for the appropriate logical
destination.
To specify your messages, you use these job attributes:
v job-message-to-operator
The message that InfoPrint Manager sends when it adds a job to the queue.
v job-start-message
The message that InfoPrint Manager sends when the job starts processing.
v
job-end-message
The message that InfoPrint Manager sends when the job finishes processing.
You can type the text for all three of these messages in the appropriate field on the
Job Notification tab of the properties notebook for a job or a default job.
In addition, you can use the job-start-message attribute in conjunction with the
job-start-wait attribute. If you set the job-start-wait attribute on a job (or in a
default job) to
true
, the actual destination receives the job and sends the job-start
message. Then, it pauses the actual destination (whether a job is currently being
printed) until the operator intervenes. This function is useful when different jobs
need to be printed on different types of paper. Operators do not need to manually
pause the actual destination to change paper between jobs; InfoPrint Manager does
it automatically. Once the printer is ready, the operator must resume the actual
destination and the job prints. This function should be set for the first in a series of
