DEV Command
DETAIL
requests a complete list of all of the device attributes. If $device is not
specified, then the status of all devices in the spooler subsystem is
returned.
SUMMARY
displays a summary of the state of devices, such as the number of devices
waiting, busy, suspended, in deverror, offline, in procerror, and the total
number of devices. Can be used only when the $device parameter is
missing.
SUSPEND
causes the device to suspend printing of the job currently printing. The same
job resumes printing when the device is restarted with the START
subcommand.
TIMEOUT number-of-retries
specifies the number of times a print process retries a retryable I/O operation
that has failed. The value for number-of-retries can be either in the
range 1 through 32767, or equal to -1 (-1 means the print process retries a
retryable operation indefinitely). The default value is 360. See Table 3-7 for a
list of the retryable error numbers.
Use RESTART to specify the action to be taken for a nonretryable IO error.
Use RETRY and TIMEOUT to specify the action to be taken for a retryable IO
error.
An additional timeout device attribute is available that specifies the number of
seconds a FASTP print process waits before considering an I/O operation to be
a failure.
Instead of being configured with the Spoolcom DEV command, this device
attribute is read from a FASTCNFG print process configuration file. Refer to the
Spooler FASTP Network Print Processes Manual for information about:
•
Configuring a FASTCNFG file
•
Setting the Spoolcom DEV PARM value to make a FASTP print process
read the FASTCNFG file
The timeout device attribute is specified by the keyword TIMEOUT followed by
an equal sign (=) and a numeric value. The numeric value is the number of
seconds FASTP will wait before considering an I/O operation to the device a
failure. If the TIMEOUT attribute is omitted or if it has a value of 0, FASTP
waits indefinitely or until the I/O process for the device declares the operation a
failure.
