3282.0. "Customisation Management and printer table anomaly" by BUSHIE::SETHI () Thu Sep 16 1993 08:26

    Hi All,                                 
    
    I have come across a bit of an anomaly (perhaps) within Customisation 
    Management and printer tables.
    
    When you create an element the default area is always your primary
    language, however printer tables are language independant so the arae
    should be SHARE.  This is a bit of a trap when it comes to creating new
    printer tables.
    
    The Live Location has to be WPL$SITE_PRT_SHARE you cannot specify
    KOA$SITE_PRINT_SHARE as this is not a valid location.
    
    I am not saying that this is a problem the topic has been created to
    raise awareness more than anything else.
    
    Regards,

    Sunil,
    
    Would make a good STARS article...

3282.2Sure?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeFri Sep 17 1993 10:327
    I'm not very confident about this, but are you sure that printer tables
    are language independent?
    
    Graham
    
    PS I think that if there are some missing valid areas, then it would
    probably make a good SPR too :-)

    They are not. Postscript tables contain overlay definitions 
    with text like "COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL" and "DRAFT". 
    Some customers expect these to be translated. 
    
    The example in the dutch user guide
    even contains a translated PRINTER TABLE command.

    Hi All,
    
    >tables are language independent?
    
    Jan my friend I am not disputing what you have said but there does
    appear to be a bit of an anomaly.  For example the logicals pointing to 
    the printer tables are:
    
      "WPL$PRT" = "WPL$SITE_PRT_SHARE"
            = "WPL$PRT_SHARE"
            = "OA$LIB_LLV"
      "WPL$PRT_SHARE" = "$1$DIA1:[ALLIN1.PRINT]"
      "WPL$SITE_PRT_SHARE" = "$1$DIA1:[ALLIN1.SITE.PRINT]"
    
      "KOA$PRINT_DIR" = "KOA$SITE_PRINT_SHARE"
            = "KOA$PRINT_SHARE"
            = "OA$LIB_LLV"
      "KOA$PRINT_SHARE" = "$1$DIA1:[ALLIN1.PRINT]"
      "KOA$SITE_PRINT_SHARE" = "$1$DIA1:[ALLIN1.SITE.PRINT]"
    
    On my system which is British with the US_GB dialect, we don't have any
    .PRA's and .PRC's in the OA$LIB_LLV area.  Also CM$AUTH$LOCATIONS does
    not have an entry in for all of the above logicals, perhaps an internal
    SPR should be raised by me and I will do so.
    
    This call drove me a bit made as the customer was unable to move the
    .PRA's to a language dependant area or to KOA$* areas.  In short we
    need to tidy up CM so that we can move the printer tables to the
    correct locations.
    
    Regards,
    
    Sunil
    
    PS - Andrew this is the 2nd time you have asked me to write something
    for Stars.  I have't got a clue how to submit the article if you send
    me an EM I write something up.
3282.5Don't we all see the STARS?AIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Tue Sep 28 1993 22:2513
    Sunil,
    
    I assume that we all (CSCs that is) had access to STARS - what do you
    guys use for an electronic database of problem reports, troubleshooting
    etc...
    
    See you write all these articles and I can read them thus meaning i
    don't have to write them and can do something more important - like
    filing expense claims

    It's more than just this one logical.
    
    1) Directory [.PRINT] must be deleted
    2) Directories [.PRINT_SHARE]/[.PRINT_<language>] need to be created
    3) Logicals WPL$SITE_PRT_<language> and WPL$PRT_<language> must be
       defined
    4) Logical WPL$PRT needs to be redefined
    5) logicals WPL$SITE_PRT_LLV and WPL$PRT_LLV must be defined
    6) CM$SDC.DISK_LOCATION needs to be changed for all LLV printer tables
    7) WPL$SITE_PRT_<language> must be added to CM$AUTH$LOCATIONS.DAT
    8) WPL$PRT_<language> and WPL$PRT_LLV must be added to 
       CM$SDC$LOCATIONS.DAT
    9) Logicals KOA$SITE_PRINT_<language> and KOA$PRINT_<language> must be
       defined
    10) Logical KOA$PRINT_DIR needs to be redefined
    11) KOA$PRINT_<language> must be added to CM$SDC$LOCATIONS.DAT
