Ricoh InfoPrint Manager for AIX, Manual

Page: 19 / 418

These InfoPrint Manager servers do not need to contain any InfoPrint Manager
objects, such as queues or destinations. Instead, these servers handle the
locale-specific processing of the commands and forward those commands to the
InfoPrint Manager server that contains the objects.
For each InfoPrint client that is not running on the same AIX server as the
InfoPrint AIX servers, such as the InfoPrint Manager Operations GUI, InfoPrint
Submit Express, JobTicketer, or InfoPrint Select, you must make sure that it
connects to the correct InfoPrint server by setting the
PD_SOCKET environment
variable to contain the port number of the InfoPrint AIX server supporting the
locale of your client. If your client is running in a locale not supported by the
InfoPrint server then connect it to an InfoPrint server running in English. To do
this task, see Chapter 12, “Setting InfoPrint Manager and AIX environment
variables,” on page 133.
Shutting down a server
You can shut down a server immediately or after it finishes processing some or all
of its current jobs.
InfoPrint prevents the server from accepting new jobs while the server is shutting
down and after it has shut down. Logical destinations and actual destinations in
the server that were enabled at shut down time are enabled when the server is
restarted. Logical destinations and actual destinations in the server that were
disabled at shut down time are disabled when the server is restarted.
Note: See “Creating additional servers or starting existing servers” on page 4 for
the restart procedure.
You can shut down an existing server through the InfoPrint SMIT administrator's
interface. If you are not familiar with how to start the InfoPrint SMIT
administrator's interface, see "Using the InfoPrint Interfaces" in InfoPrint Manager
for AIX: Installation Instructions.
To shut down an existing server:
1. From the
InfoPrint Printing System
panel, click Start/Stop Servers . A new
menu displays.
2.
Click
Stop a Server
. The
Stop a Server
dialog window opens.
3. Enter the name of the InfoPrint server in the * SERVER name field. By default,
InfoPrint fills in this field with the name of the AIX system on which you are
running the SMIT session.
4. Press Enter . The result of this step depends on whether the server is running:
v
If the server is currently running, InfoPrint issues a message when it
successfully stops the server.
v
If the server is not running, InfoPrint issues a message to indicate that the
server is not operational.
Notes:
1.
Normally you will only run one InfoPrint server on an AIX system.
2. You also use this procedure to start a server that you have shut down.
