Xerox 4.1, 4.2 manual Limits, Constraints, and Considerations, Two-Stage Resource-Based Scheduling

Limits, Constraints, and Considerations

♦The VPC Filter is not supported on single-queue systems such as the Nuvera Office Printer because DocuSP does not support any filters on single queue systems. The DocuSP GUI does not display the VPC Filter settings on single-queue systems.

♦The VPC Filter cannot be setup on a streaming queue. The DocuSP GUI does not allow this because crash recovery of filtered streaming jobs does not work with the current architecture.

♦The Generic Filtering Mechanism (GFM) does not provide a method for stringing filters together; therefore, only one filter can be applied to a queue.

♦DocuSP’s job forwarding mechanism is not supported.

♦The VPC Filter is not supported in DocuSP Remote Workflow (DRW).

Two-Stage Resource-Based Scheduling

DocuSP 4.2 provides a mechanism to:

♦Determine all the resources required by a RIP-input job before scheduling the job for printing.

♦Allow the customer to choose between this new scheduling mode and the existing modes.

♦Prevent a job from being erroneously scheduled in the event that some of the required media is unavailable.

The scheduling modes that are available under

DocuSP 4.2 are:

♦First-in, first-out (FIFO)

♦Resource-Based (RBS)

♦Enhanced Resource-Based (Enhanced RBS)

The default job-scheduling mode is RBS for all systems except the Nuvera Office Printer. The default for Nuvera is Enhanced RBS. RBS and Enhanced RBS only apply to RIP-input jobs. Scan-input jobs (available only on systems with a scanner) are not affected. Nor are streaming jobs affected. Enhanced RBS is only performed on PCL, PS, PPML, and PDF jobs. If Enhanced RBS is in effect, all other jobs are processed using RBS.
