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 V4.2 InfoPrint Manager server to InfoPrint Manager V4.3 will continue to find the previous accounting exit interface intact. Accounting programs that count on the previous accounting interface, which include the InfoPrint supplied samples, will function without modification. Customers installing an InfoPrint Manager V4.3 server for the first time will see the post-print accounting exit activated and the accounting data written to /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 V4.3 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 InfoPrintsupplied 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 . The administrator can also choose to activate the old exit by setting the value of the psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary sheet attribute in the appropriate sheet object to the name of either the InfoPrint supplied sample exit or a custom version of the old exit. In both cases, the administrator can also choose to have both exits active by setting the psf-exit-program-name and the psf-post-print-accounting-program-name auxiliary sheet attributes to the names of the two accounting programs (old and preferred). The administrator can also choose to deactivate both exits by leaving both attributes unset. How do you format PSF DSS accounting, post-print accounting, and audit data for viewing?
