openUTM provides the KDCS call DADM (Delayed free message ADMinistration) for administering UTM-controlled and service-controlled message queues. This call allows you to:
request an overview of the contents of a queue
request specific information on individual jobs in the queue
bring individual jobs forward
delete individual jobs
delete all the jobs in a queue
move messages from the dead letter queue.
The KDCS call PADM (Printer ADMinistration) is provided for administering printers, and offers the following options:
confirm or repeat print jobs
switch between acknowledgment mode and automatic mode
request information on a printer or print job
change a printer assignment
lock and unlock printers, establish and shut down connections to printers
These calls are implemented via the KDCS program interface, and not via the administration interface. Full administration authorization is therefore not essential for day-to-day activities such as the cancellation of print jobs or the confirmation of important printouts such as checks: during generation, you can define print control LTERMs to allow users to administer the printers and print queues they normally use without requiring administration authorization. Administration authorization will, however, still be required for the administration of “exotic” printers and queues.
openUTM supplies the sample programs KDCDADM and KDCPADM, which provide direct access to all features of the DADM and PADM calls.
Message queues and printers can also be administered using WinAdmin ("WinAdmin graphical administration program") or WebAdmin ("WebAdmin graphical administration program").
| Further information on administering message queues and printers, and on the sample programs, can be found in the openUTM manual “Administering Applications”. |
