1794.0. "Format documents on a remote node" by SWTHOM::CORNU () Tue Nov 17 1992 12:55

    Hi,
    
    Just a small question about ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0 :
    
    Is it possible to format all the printers jobs in a queue on a remote
    node ? I just need to know if the concept is possible ( I believe it's
    not implemented for the moment but the customer can customize the pro-
    duct).
    
    Thank you for yours answers,
    
    Val�rie CORNU.

ALL-IN-1 does not support peforming background formatting on a remote
system.  The OA$FORMATTER jobs need to execute on the same node which is
running ALL-IN-1 because they process temporary user files put in the
ALL-IN-1 user's OAUSER directory.

As for the concept anything is possible with enough work, but it would be a
major undertaking to implement distributed formatting queues, similar to
what DQS provides for print queues. 

An alternative could be to add the remote node into the ALL-IN-1 cluster
and configure the OA$FORMATTER and print queues to execute on that node.
