Description
Use the pdaccount administrative command to collect summary accounting information for a specified time period in a comma delimited format about jobs processed by actual destinations on one or more servers. This information can be filed and imported into a spread sheet to calculate the cost of consumables, the usage rate of printers, the cost for each user, and so forth. You can request summary information or all available information. The summary information includes:
- Total pages printed by a destination or a user for a specified time period
- Total octets printed by a destination or a user for a specified time period
You can also request complete records for a specified time period.
When the log-accounting-data actual destination or server attributes are set to true, InfoPrint Manager creates an accounting log for each destination and stores the information in the server's accounting.logs subdirectory. When the accounting logs are active, InfoPrint Manager records the following information:
- actual destination name (up to 255 characters)
- job owner (up to 255 characters)
- global job-id without ServerName
- submission-time (GMT format)
- submission-time (date in server's displayable locale and time zone)
- submission-time (time in server's displayable locale and time zone)
- completion-time (GMT format)
- completion-time (date in server's displayable locale and time zone)
- completion-time (time in server's displayable locale and time zone)
- pages-completed
- octets-completed
- data stream (first document only)
- job name (up ot 255 characters)

For actual destinations that are unable to get pages completed from the printer, the information is obtained from the job-page-count attribute (which can be set by the user), or in some cases, InfoPrint Manager determines the information by analyzing the data stream.
