  • 1.  IDMS Printer Destination

    Posted Jul 24, 2005 10:56 PM
    Hi all,

    I would like to consult the IDMS Gurus on the above-mentioned
    subject.

    2. Whenever an user logged into IDMS, the print destination will be
    defaulted to a specific destination (eg. 'P100').

    3. Each time, I have to dynamically dcuf the print destination to my
    department printer (eg. 'P200')'.

    4. After each session, the earlier print destination (for this case,
    'P200') will be gone; 'P100' (defaulted) will take into effect.

    5. How could I amend the default print destination permanently?

    6. In Security Administration Manual (Chapter 12.0 Syntax for securing
    global resources; Subtopic 12.3 ALTER USER PROFILE),
    it enlightens that one can alter the user profile to change it
    prtdest attributes but in my environment, we did not specify any user
    profile.
    See the following:
    12.3.6 Example
    alter user profile corp_dev
    attributes
    dept='5621',
    prtdest='wwuav';


    7. Looking forward to hear from all of you soon.

    8. That's all folks!

    9. Thank you.

    Re: IDMS Printer Destination
    "One more thing that Gary did not mention is that you can nest profiles
    so - for example - you could create a 'base' profile with all settings
    except the print destination:

    CREATE USER PROFILE APPLPROF
    ATTRIBUTE
    DICTNAME = 'APPLDICT' OVERRIDE YES ,
    DBNAME = 'APPLDB' OVERRIDE YES ,
    LOADLIST = 'APPLLOAD' OVERRIDE YES
    ;

    and then create profiles for each destination:

    CREATE USER PROFILE APPLPROF_DEST123
    ATTRIBUTE
    PRTDEST = 'DEST123' OVERRIDE YES ,
    INCLUDE = 'APPLPROF' OVERRIDE YES
    ;

    So, assuming all users use one of these profiles, if you have to change
    dictionaries for some reason you only have to modify one entity and you
    cover all users. This is obviously a simplistic example, but you should
    get the idea . . .
