6.16.3 Modifying the attributes of a supervisor

You can modify the attributes of any supervisor you administer.

i

You cannot modify the attributes of an active supervisor. You must first set it to the status NOT_ACTIVE.

To modify the attributes of a supervisor, proceed as follows:

●Deactivate the relevant supervisor(s): xpchange -spv [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE

For selection you can either specify a list of the supervisors you want to deactivate, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant supervisors are selected. If selection is not specified, the status of all supervisors is changed.

●Modify the relevant attributes: xpmod -spv [selection] modifications

For modifications specify the attributes to be modified. You can use all the options which are allowed when adding a new supervisor with the xpadd -spvcommand. With the options -cacomment_for_administrator,

-seserver_name and -hohost_name you can add a comment about the supervisor for administrators, or you can assign the supervisor to another server or host respectively. For more detailed information refer to the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

●Reactivate the supervisor(s): xpchange -spv [selection]

Examples:

–To modify the attributes of supervisor marcus and add a comment for the administrator saying that this supervisor is a copy of supervisor nile: xpchange -spv marcus -st NOT_ACTIVE

xpmod -spv marcus -ca copy_of_nile xpchange -spv marcus

–To add a comment to all supervisors of host colorado saying that these can be deleted:

xpchange -spv -scl "-ho colorado" -st NOT_ACTIVE xpmod -spv -scl "-ho colorado" -ca please_delete xpchange -spv -scl "-ho colorado"
