Bothinstall_path\ bin\ainacclogand install_path\ bin\ainaudlog record the same information in different files. This information is specified in flat ASCII format, with a single line for each job that is processed. You can use this information to determine billing procedures, to assess the workload of different output devices, or to determine how resources are used at your installation. The ainuxjobcompletion exit is called when the printer reports back to InfoPrint Manager that all of the pages for a job have printed. This includes a partial job (due to a data stream error or because the job was paused/cancelled or forward-spaced) and also any extra pages produced as a result of a backspace or other recovery. For the last job that prints on a continuous forms printer, the exit is not called until an NPRO (non-print run out) is done, either by an operator or automatically by InfoPrint Manager. Only one record is written for a job that prints, unless a job is paused. In this case, a record is written for the part of the job that was printed up to the pause point; later, if the job is resumed, another record is written for the rest of the job. Note: If InfoPrint Manager does not receive feedback from the printer that all pages have stacked, such as when the printer is shut down in the middle of a job or when an error such as a server failure occurs, no record is written. A new procedure has been added to the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI to show you how to activate the default PSF ainuxjobcompletion accounting logs. The ainuxjobcompletion accounting exit interface can be used for PSF-driven IPDS printers. It provides actual (versus projected) accounting data and provides additional information about completed print jobs. Customers who migrate from an existing InfoPrint Manager Version, such as 1.1, to InfoPrint Manager V2.2 will continue to find the previous accounting exit interface intact. Accounting programs that count on the previous accounting interface, which includes the IBM supplied samples, will function without modification. Customers installing a InfoPrint Manager V2.2 server for the first time will see the post-print accounting exit activated and the accounting data will be written to install_path\var\psf\jobcompletion.log. The intent is to minimize migration issues for existing customers, but to start new customers out with the preferred accounting exit. The default installation for new machines will not activate both accounting exits. However, when V2.2 is installed, both new and migrated customers can choose to have the old, preferred, or both accounting exits active. If a migrating installation wants to activate the preferred (new) exit, the administrator must set the psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary sheet attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet object to provide the name of either the IBM supplied sample exit or a custom version of the preferred exit. The administrator can also choose to deactivate the old exit by resetting the value of the psf-exit-program-name auxiliary attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet object to . If a new installation wants to deactivate the preferred exit and instead run the old exit, the administrator must reset the psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary sheet attribute in the appropriate auxiliary sheet object to .
