The Question is: Hello wiz, Is it possible to create AUTOSTART queues with devices using the TELNETSYM? We have numerous IP printers and would like to have failover using the autostart feature. I have looked around for info but only see support for the /ON qualifier. Below is an excerpt from the doc's for TCPWARE where they seem to do it through the use of logicals. Thanks ---------------- TCPWARE Autostart Queue You can set up an autostart queue on a node that automatically starts up again after it stops. You can also set up such a queue to autostart on other failover nodes. Starting an autostart queue requires the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier for the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command. Since you cannot use /AUTOSTART_ON together with the /ON qualifier to initialize a terminal server print queue, you need to define the TCPWARE_TSSYM_qname l ogical for this purpose. This logical defines the parameters normally set with the /ON qualifier. The format of the logical definition is: DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPWARE_TSSYM_qname "host,port[,option...]" The format of the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier (use the parentheses when specifying multiple nodes): /AUTOSTART_ON=(node::[,node::,...]) Example 15-3 shows a typical command sequence to define the TCPWARE_TSSYM_qname logical, initialize and start up an autostart queue (QUEUE1) on two nodes, and enable autostart on these nodes. You can also add the commands to your startup command procedure .. Note that there are two nodes: NODE2 can be a failover node in case NODE1 goes down. Example 15-3 Command Sequence to Set Up an Autostart Queue $ DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPWARE_TSSYM_QUEUE1 "192.168.25.50,2005,KEEP" $ INIT/QUEUE /START /PROCESSOR=TCPWARE_TSSYM - _$ /AUTOSTART_ON=(NODE1::,NODE2::) QUEUE1 $ ENABLE AUTOSTART /QUEUES /ON=NODE1 $ ENABLE AUTOSTART /QUEUES /ON=NODE2 The Answer is : TCP/IP Services includes enhancements in this area for LPD, though client queues will not yet autostart. Pending that, continue to use the traditional mechanisms to start the queues.
