Gateways Interoperability
Restrictions of gateways to DPRINT spoolers
Wildcards (* or ?) are not allowed but you can specify
xpshow -dev dprint_gateway! without a printer name and
xpshow -dgr dprint_gateway! without a printer group name. In this case all
corresponding resources are displayed.
If information on a printer of a DPRINT spooler is displayed, you should be
aware that some of the requested items of information are not supported by the
DPRINT spooler. The displayed values for this information are invalid (amongst
others this applies to the information on Keep connection, Open retry time,
Automatic activation, Polling enabled and Priority).
When defining a print job for a DPRINT printer with xpadd -job, the following
must be observed:
For every job a document type must be specified with the -ct option. The
document type PLAIN_TEXT represents an ASCII text which contains
only the control characters CR, LF and FF. This data type replaces the
value SIMPLE which is not supported under DPRINT.
Examples
To configure a gateway connection between the local host hudson and the
DPRINT spooler of the BS2000 system D255S017:
xpadd -gtw GTW_hudson -tp LOCAL -ga 5200 -ho hudson -np TCP \
-pp GIP2 -aa
xpadd -gtw GTW_S017 -tp PARTNER -ho d255s017 -ga 5200 \
-on D255S017 -oh D255S017 -bl GTW_hudson -np TCP \
-pp GIP2 -op "FT=FT25517"
xpmod -gtw GTW_hudson -ag GTW_S017
xpchange -gtw GTW_hudson
Please note that the host hudson running the gateway GTW_hudson must
be a Outputware host which has openFT installed. Furthermore, the
option
-op "FT=xxxxx" must be specified when defining the partner gateway
GTW_SO17 (DPRINT), where xxxxx is the name of the FT partner, in this
case FT25517. The value xxxxx depends on the configuration of openFT.
