The KDCPADM program unit enables you to administer printers and the control of print outputs. KDCPADM covers five functions. You can call each of these functions by entering the transaction code which you assigned to program unit KDCPADM (called tacpadm from now on) together with a few operands. This section describes which operands these are.
KDCPADM covers the following print control functions:
Confirming print output or repeating an output item (PRINT)
Switching between confirmation mode and automatic mode (MODE)
KDCPADM covers the following printer administration functions:
Changing the status of a printer (STATE).
You can disable a printer, re-enable a disabled printer, or establish/terminate a connection to a printer.In UTM cluster applications, the disabling and enabling of printers applies globally to the cluster.
Assign a different or an additional printer to an LTERM partner, i.e. to a specific printer queue (SWITCH).
This means that you can arrange for print jobs to be handled by another printer (e.g. in the event of a malfunction) or for a printer pool to be generated.This function is only permitted in standalone UTM applications.
Inform about the printers assigned to a printer control LTERM (INFORM).
If you enter tacpadm HELP, openUTM informs you about the syntax of the KDCPADM call. openUTM provides a brief description of the functions.
