Customizing the CA Ideal Environment › Managing and Administering Print Services › Print Service Administration Commands

Print Service Administration Commands

You can set the print environment site options from a fill-in CA Ideal provides. This fill-in is accessed by issuing the command SET OUTPUT SITE OPTIONS. The section titled Site Options for Output earlier in this chapter describes the print environment site options and the fill-in used to set them.

You can use the following commands to control the disposition, the number of copies, the retention time, and the destination of output. In this table, the abbreviation OUT is used for OUTPUT. For more information about these commands, see the Command Reference Guide.

DEFINE OUT DESTINATION

Establishes the output destination of either a system (SYSTEM) or network (NETWORK) printer or the output library (LIBRARY). In the case of a system or network printer, you must also specify the name of the printer. (See Note following this table.)

DELETE OUT DESTINATION

Removes the output destination of either a system (SYSTEM) or network (NETWORK) printer or the output library (LIBRARY). In the case of a system or network printer, you must also specify the name of the printer.

DISPLAY OUT

Displays a specific output from the output library.

PRINT OUT

Prints a specific output from the output library.

ALTER OUT DISPOSITION

Changes the disposition of a specified output.

ALTER OUT COPIES

Changes the number of copies of the specified output to print.

ALTER OUT RETENTION

Changes the number of days the specified output is retained. This value cannot exceed the maximum set for the site.

ALTER OUT DESTINATION

Changes the destination of the specified output.

ALTER OUT DEST DISP

Changes the disposition of all the outputs going to a specific destination or to all outputs regardless of the destination.

ALTER OUT DEST NETWORK

Changes one of the following characteristics for the specified network printer:

• Formfeed control
• Whether a header and trailer page is printed
• The width of the printer's print line

DELETE OUT

Removes an output from the output library.

LIBRARY is already defined as an output destination when CA Ideal is first installed.

You do not need to define CA eMail+ destinations to CA Ideal. They are defined using CA eMail+ facilities.

CA Ideal supports network printers that are 328x-compatible.

When defining a network printer, you can also specify the following characteristics to override the hardware specifications:

• Whether a header and trailer page is printed.
• The width of the printer's print line.
