Usage Guidelines

  • If the job-discard-time and one of the job-retain-until or job-retention-period attributes are set, InfoPrint Manager discards the job at the earliest time specified by one of these attributes.

  • If the job-discard-time and the retain-forever attributes are set, InfoPrint Manager discards the job at the time specified by the job-discard-time.

  • When the retain-forever attribute is not specified or is set to false, the other retention period attributes function normally.
  • When the retain-forever attribute is set to true, the job is retained until it is manually deleted with a pdrm command.
  • You can only specify one retention period attribute for each job. If you set a different retention period attribute, that attribute takes effect, and this one is cleared. The retention period attributes are job-retain-until (Job only), job-retention-period, and retain-forever.
