Restrictions of gateways to DPRINT spoolers

Wildcards (* or ?) are not allowed but you can specify xpshow -dev dprint_gateway! without a printer name and

xpshow -dgr dprint_gateway! without a printer group name. In this case all corresponding resources are displayed.

If information on a printer of a DPRINT spooler is displayed, you should be aware that some of the requested items of information are not supported by the DPRINT spooler. The displayed values for this information are invalid (amongst others this applies to the information on Keep connection, Open retry time, Automatic activation, Polling enabled and Priority).

When defining a print job for a DPRINT printer with xpadd -job,the following must be observed:

i

For every job a document type must be specified with the -ctoption. The document type PLAIN_TEXT represents an ASCII text which contains only the control characters CR, LF and FF. This data type replaces the value SIMPLE which is not supported under DPRINT.

Examples

To configure a gateway connection between the local host hudson and the DPRINT spooler of the BS2000 system D255S017:

xpadd -gtw GTW_hudson -tp LOCAL -ga 5200 -ho hudson -np TCP \ -pp GIP2 -aa

xpadd -gtw GTW_S017 -tp PARTNER -ho d255s017 -ga 5200 \ -on D255S017 -oh D255S017 -bl GTW_hudson -np TCP \ -pp GIP2 -op "FT=FT25517"

xpmod -gtw GTW_hudson -ag GTW_S017 xpchange -gtw GTW_hudson

i

Please note that the host hudson running the gateway GTW_hudson must be a Outputware host which has openFT installed. Furthermore, the option

-op "FT=xxxxx" must be specified when defining the partner gateway GTW_SO17 (DPRINT), where xxxxx is the name of the FT partner, in this case FT25517. The value xxxxx depends on the configuration of openFT.
