Using InfoPrint Manager commands with AFP Upload
Because the AIX client program for AFP Upload operates as an InfoPrint Manager
actual destination, you can control and monitor it through the commands used
with other InfoPrint actual destinations:
v
To shut down an AFP Upload actual destination, use the pdshutdown command
that is documented in InfoPrint Manager: Reference .
v To find status about AFP Upload actual destinations, use the psfstat command.
There are limitations to the tasks that you can do with an AFP actual destination.
You can neither forward space, back space, nor pause a job to an AFP Upload
actual destination.
When the connection to the MVS host fails
If you experience connection problems with the MVS host after having submitted a
job through AFP Upload and Print, how to make sure that the job prints depends
upon whether InfoPrint Manager detected the loss of connectivity.
If InfoPrint Manager detected the lost connection, the AFP Upload logical
destination becomes red and the job goes into the
PENDING state. Once you have
re-established connectivity to the MVS host program, re-enable the AFP Upload
destination. Then InfoPrint Manager will restart the job and continue printing.
If InfoPrint Manager does not detect the lost connection, the job remains in the
PENDING
state, while the printer goes into a
needs-key-operator
state. To resolve
this condition and print your job, you must regain connectivity to the MVS host
program, cancel the job in the
PENDING
state, and then resubmit the job to the AFP
Upload actual destination.
