Platform Information

When defining the server name and the shared name for printers in P98616, consider these platform specific guidelines:

• IBM i platform:

  library name/outqueue name

  For the IBM i, the physical printer name must be the same as the outqueue name. If you use the default QGPL library to store the outqueues, enter only the outqueue name. This information must be entered in upper case.

  Example: QutputQueue Name:DEVPRN1

  If the outqueues reside in a library other than the default QGPL library, enter the library name and the outqueue name:

  Library Name:QLIBRARY

  OutputQueue Name:DEVPRN1

  Note: When you qualify the outqueue name with the library name, you avoid possible name conflicts that might result in the submission of the report to an unexpected outqueue.

• Microsoft Windows platform:

  \\print server name\print shared name

  Examples:

  Print Server Name:corprts1

  Print Shared Name:devprn1

  For Microsoft Windows, enter the name of the print server and the name of the printer. You cannot use spaces or special characters. This information must be entered in lower case. The system uses the print server name along with the print shared name to create the printer name.

• UNIX platform:

  unix printer queue name (no slashes)

  devprn16

  This information must be entered in lower case.
