Setting Object-Attributes - HP 9000 User Manual

Command Reference
Command Syntax
The server name is optional for:
• Commands using local job IDs as the argument.
• Commands using the printer name or the queue name; these names
must be unique within the namespace. An exception to this is the
pdcreate command where the server name is always required.
The server name is required for:
• Commands specifying an object class that resides in a supervisor,
such as log.
• Object names within a spooler that are not unique within a
namespace.
• The pdcreate command.
In the DCE Extended Environment, the DCE Directory Service provides
the means to name objects and to route commands to the correct object.
DCE manages object names using a namespace within a cell. Objects in
the following object classes must have a unique name within the
namespace:
• Server (spoolers and supervisors)
• Printer (logical and physical)
• Queue
Objects from the other object classes, such as initial-value-job or log are
contained in servers. Two objects of such object classes can have the
same name if they are contained in two separate servers.

Setting Object-Attributes

There are three main types of object-attributes:
Specifiable An attribute whose value you can establish when the
object is created, but which cannot be subsequently
modified.
Settable An attribute whose value can be set or modified after
an object is created, assuming the object is in an
appropriate state to be modified.
Non-Settable An attribute whose value can only be determined by
HPDPS.
