The Accounting Mode option enables or disables job accounting.
Choices are Enabled or Disabled with a default of Disabled. In order
for the accounting process to run on your system, you must enable
accounting via the control panel or via remote console. When
accounting is disabled any files containing data remain untouched.
However, empty files are removed to save disk space.
The Operator Control/Accounting/Disk Space option allocates disk
space for job accounting files. The range of values is 51200 (50 KB)
to 10240000 (10 MB) with a default value of 1024000 (1 MB).
The amount of space required for each job can vary between 200 and
250 bytes, so each 1 MB allocated for the job accounting file will store
information on 4,000 to 5,000 jobs.
If the selected value is greater than the current value, the file size is
increased to reserve the extra space. If the value is smaller than the
current file size, any empty job accounting files are moved. If only one
file is used and it is not empty, it cannot be shrunk.
The Resetaccounting option erases the Accounting files and recre-
ates them using the current file size. If this operation is selected when
accounting is disabled, the files are removed but not recreated, thus
saving disk space. The range of values is Yes and No. The default
value is No.
This operation is also available as the resetaccount command for the
admin user at a remote console. See the Remote Console User's
Guide for more information on the resetaccount command.
When job files are more than 80% full but less than 100% full, the fol-
lowing message displays on the control panel and remote console:
xxxxxxxx FILE xxx% FULL
( xxx% is the percentage full, reported as 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.)
This is an appropriate time to copy these files to floppies or to transfer
