Mackie V7.0 manual Selecting a print job, Job ID might, for example, read as follows

Selecting a print job Managing print jobs

The global ID consists of the name of the server which processes the print job and a serial job number for this server. This ID can be used from any host on which you are registered as a user.

The permanent ID is an extension of the local ID, intended to be unique in time, i.e. never reused for another job. The permanent job ID is made of the client host name, a counter that garantees the permanence of this identifier and the local ID.Please refer to page 51 for a complete description of the permanent ID.

A job ID might, for example, read as follows:

<18><se1:97>

In this example, 18 is the local job ID, se1 is the server name and 97 is the serial job ID on this server.

You should note these IDs in case you need to access the print job before its execution is completed. If you do not know the ID of the print job you want to access, you can request a list of all your print jobs (see section “Displaying print jobs” on page 55).

In addition, the print job is always assigned a job title, which is either the same as that of the print file (in the case of a job with several files it is the name of the first file), or which has been specified explicitly with the -jtjob_title option.

If you select a print job via its identifier, you can use the number as well as the job title.

This is illustrated by the following example:

xpadd -dr file1

XP000002: Job <18><se1:97> added

You can select this print job using the following methods:

xpstat 18 xpstat file1 xpstat se1:97 xpstat se1:file1

i

Note that, unlike the job ID, the job title is not always unique. If there are several jobs with the same title, specifying this title selects all of them.

You can also use the wildcards * and ? when specifying the job title. These have the same meanings as with UNIX commands. * represents any number of characters, ? represents exactly one character. The following example selects all the print jobs at the server se1 whose job title starts with da:

xpstat -job se1:da*
