pdq command: queries job status
Syntax
pdq [-H host:port] [-f "FilterCriteria"] [{-d | -p} DestinationName] [-F] [-g] [-j]
[-r attribute …] [-s StyleName] [-U]
[-x "attribute=value …"] [-X AttributesFileName]
[LocalJobID[.DocNumber] … | GlobalJobID[.DocNumber] …]
pdq -h
Description
Use the pdq command to list the status of some or all jobs submitted to a logical destination or assigned to an actual destination.
With InfoPrint Manager for AIX or InfoPrint Manager for Linux, if you omit both the LocalJobID and the GlobalJobID and do not name a destination, InfoPrint lists all the jobs in the queue associated with the default logical destination, as defined by the PDPRINTER environment variable.
If you do not specify a value for the -r flag or the command attribute requested-attributes, the pdq command defaults to the value brief. By default, you can list the attribute values only for the jobs you submit.
InfoPrint lists the jobs in the order in which the queue considers them for printing.
You can use the filtering option so that InfoPrint returns status only for some jobs. The jobs have a predefined value for the filter that is equal to the job attribute user-name; InfoPrint sets this value to your login identity when you submit a job.
Flags
You can use these flags with the pdq command:
- -H host:port
-
Identifies the host and port of the InfoPrint Manager server used for communication. When not specified, the command follows the Configuration logic to define the host and socket.
- -d DestinationName
- Queries all jobs in the queue associated with this destination, or all jobs assigned
to this actual destination. The results depend on the destination realization and
the value of the queue attribute assign-to-destination, as shown in the table.
