Creating additional servers or starting existing servers

Page 18 highlights

Creating additional servers or starting existing servers You can create a new server or start an existing server through the InfoPrint SMIT administrator's interface. If you are not familiar with how to start the InfoPrint SMIT administrator's interface, see "Using the InfoPrint Interfaces" in InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started. To create a new server or start an existing server: 1. From the InfoPrint Printing System panel, click Start/Stop Servers. A new menu displays. 2. Click Start a Server. The Start a Server dialog window opens. 3. Enter the name of the InfoPrint server in the * SERVER name field. By default, InfoPrint fills in this field with the name of the AIX system on which you are running the SMIT session. 4. To use a port number other than the default of 6874 as the communications port for InfoPrint, enter the port number in the PORT number field. Note: When selecting your own port number, always increment the choice by two because the InfoPrint server uses two numbers: the one you specify and the next one, for example, 6874 and 6875. 5. If you want the InfoPrint server to run in a locale other than your current locale, enter the locale name in the LOCALE field. 6. Press Enter. The result of this step depends on whether the server exists: v If the server does not exist, InfoPrint displays a confirmation message asking if you want to create a new server. Respond to the prompt to continue. v If the server exists but is not currently running, InfoPrint displays status information and issues a message when it successfully starts the server. v If the server exists and is running, InfoPrint issues a message to indicate that the server is already operational. Notes: 1. Normally you will only run one InfoPrint server on an AIX system. 2. You also use this procedure to start a server that you have shut down. Important: Following Daylight Savings Time changes, some customers have reported discrepancies in their server accounting logs and others have reported job submission failures. The problem was resolved by stopping and starting the InfoPrint Manager server. If you are already experiencing these symptoms or want to avoid them in the future, arrange to have your servers restarted immediately following a Daylight Savings Time change. Configuring servers with a mixed language environment If your InfoPrint environment is a mixed language environment with separate locales, you must use "Creating additional servers or starting existing servers" to create separate servers running in each language of your environment. Each of these servers can be named for the locale they support (such as english, french, or german). 4 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures

Creating additional servers or starting existing servers
You can create a new server or start an existing server through the InfoPrint SMIT
administrator's interface. If you are not familiar with how to start the InfoPrint
SMIT administrator's interface, see "Using the InfoPrint Interfaces" in
InfoPrint
Manager for AIX: Getting Started
.
To create a new server or start an existing server:
1.
From the
InfoPrint Printing System
panel, click
Start/Stop Servers
. A new
menu displays.
2.
Click
Start a Server
. The
Start a Server
dialog window opens.
3.
Enter the name of the InfoPrint server in the
* SERVER name
field. By default,
InfoPrint fills in this field with the name of the AIX system on which you are
running the SMIT session.
4.
To use a port number other than the default of
6874
as the communications
port for InfoPrint, enter the port number in the
PORT number
field.
Note:
When selecting your own port number, always increment the choice by
two because the InfoPrint server uses two numbers: the one you specify and
the next one, for example, 6874 and 6875.
5.
If you want the InfoPrint server to run in a locale other than your current
locale, enter the locale name in the
LOCALE
field.
6.
Press
Enter
. The result of this step depends on whether the server exists:
v
If the server does not exist, InfoPrint displays a confirmation message asking
if you want to create a new server. Respond to the prompt to continue.
v
If the server exists but is not currently running, InfoPrint displays status
information and issues a message when it successfully starts the server.
v
If the server exists and is running, InfoPrint issues a message to indicate that
the server is already operational.
Notes:
1.
Normally you will only run one InfoPrint server on an AIX system.
2.
You also use this procedure to start a server that you have shut down.
Important:
Following Daylight Savings Time changes, some customers have reported
discrepancies in their server accounting logs and others have reported job
submission failures. The problem was resolved by stopping and starting the
InfoPrint Manager server. If you are already experiencing these symptoms or want
to avoid them in the future, arrange to have your servers restarted immediately
following a Daylight Savings Time change.
Configuring servers with a mixed language environment
If your InfoPrint environment is a mixed language environment with separate
locales, you must use “Creating additional servers or starting existing servers” to
create separate servers running in each language of your environment. Each of
these servers can be named for the locale they support (such as
english
,
french
, or
german
).
