Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP Distributed Queuing Service for OpenVMS, Version 1.3- 2 SPD 28.80.05 DESCRIPTION The standard OpenVMS queue system enables users to use the OpenVMS PRINT command to print files on output devices that are attached to the users local OpenVMS node. The hp Distributed Queuing Service (DQS) uses the DECnet networking system to extend the standard OpenVMS queue system to enable users to: o Print jobs on printers connected to systems other than their own o Show the status of jobs on those systems o Cancel their jobs on those systems o Change the specifications of their jobs on those systems Any node where a print request originates is called a client. Any node with an attached printer that performs the printing is called a server. Any node with DQS software can be configured to operate as only a client or as both a client and a server. The DQS software does not limit the number of client or server nodes or queues. The system manager cre- ates the queues and establishes the correspondence between client queues and queues on server nodes. A queue on a server node can accept jobs from queues on multiple client nodes. January 2005 Features The following is a summary of features available in the hp Distributed Queuing Service software: o Provides an easy means of printing from systems that do not have printers. o The DQS software can be used in any DECnet networking environment. Both Local Area Networks and Wide Area Networks are supported. DQS supports DECnet Phase V fullname functionality. o The DQS software allows multiple OpenVMS systems to share expen- sive or unique printers. o The DQS software does not limit the users choice of printing equip- ment as it can work with standard OpenVMS symbionts and most user- written or user-modified symbionts. o Provides completely transparent support for the following quali- fiers of the OpenVMS PRINT command: /BACKUP /BEFORE /BURST /BY_OWNER /CONFIRM /CHARACTERISTICS /COPIES /CREATED /DEVICE /EXCLUDE /EXPIRED /FEED /FLAG /IDENTIFY /JOB_COUNT /LOWERCASE /MODIFIED /NAME /NOTE /QUEUE /REMOTE /RESTART /PAGES /PASSALL /SETUP /SINCE /SPACE /TRAILER /USER All other OpenVMS PRINT qualifiers are supported, with slight dif- ferences that reflect the distributed environment of DQS. o If the DQS server is temporarily inaccessible when a print command is issued, the DQS client will attempt to transfer the job for print- ing after the DQS server again becomes available. o If a printer becomes unavailable, the corresponding DQS server queue can be configured to direct print jobs to a different DQS server queue. 2 o The DQS software can send notification to the user after a print job has been completed. o Additional queues can be added and queue attributes changed with- out reinstalling the DQS software. o Additional DQS nodes can be added to an existing network of DQS nodes without reinstalling the software on the existing nodes. o The DQS software can be configured to limit access to servers. o The DQS software can be configured to keep records of use. o The DQS commands can be used on non-DQS queues. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Systems Supported: DQS runs on I64, Alpha, and VAX systems supported on OpenVMS. For a detailed list of systems supported on OpenVMS, refer to the HP Open- VMS Operating System for Alpha Version 7.3-1 and 7.3-2 and VAX Ver- sion 7.3 Software Product Description (SPD 25.01.xx) or the HP Open- VMS for Integrity Servers and HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 Operating Systems Software Product Description (SPD 82.35.xx) Processor Restrictions: An Ethernet connection is required for each processor that uses the DQS. That processor must support the Ethernet boards supported by DEc- net for OpenVMS.
