Appendix A: Questions and Answers
The questions contained in this section were compiled when working
with customers who implemented DPServer. Although not
comprehensive, we hope this list of questions is of value to you and
answers some preliminary questions about DPServer.
Supported Client Environments
Beyond MVS, are any other client environments fully supported?
A "fully-supported" client has access to all DPServer capabilities
including bi-directional communication with the server, print job
management, receipt of accounting data, and other advanced features.
While job submission capabilities are supported for many
environments, only MVS environments are considered to be fully
supported at this time. A sample of the currently supported client
environments may be found in Table 1 on page 18.
When will other client environments be fully supported?
Xerox is working to add full support for other environments. Contact
your Xerox representative for the latest information.
Remotely Controlling Servers
Can I control DPServer from a remote location?
Yes. A remote console offers the ability to replicate the graphical user
interface of DPServer on any network device that supports X-Windows
and OSF/Motif, such as an X-Windows terminal, a UNIX workstation,
or a PC. Using a remote console, an operator has access to all
DPServer features and functions, and can display the user interface of
multiple DPServers simultaneously.
How many remote consoles may I have?
There is no limit to the number of remote consoles supported by
DPServer.
Are there any special requirements for a remote console?
The only requirements are that the console support X-Windows and
OSF/Motif.
