DPServer: Components and Operation
Accounting Option
The Accounting Option provides a comprehensive solution for
collecting statistical data about host, server, and printer performance
during job printing and processing. This data can be used for billing
and charge-backs, asset management, printing performance analysis,
operator/shift performance measurement, resource utilization and
tracking, and more. Below is a description of major processes and tasks.

Record statistics. Printer statistics are continuously recorded and
maintained at the Xerox printer. Printer statistics relate to the printing
of a job, resources used, printer configuration, and so on. Server and
host statistics are recorded and maintained in a database on the server.
Data is collected on over 150 variables that relate to the job identity
and make up, transmission time, processing time, and so on.

Send printer statistics to server. Information contained in the printer-
resident database can be uploaded either automatically or manually.
For automatic uploading, the DPServer operator can define a capacity
threshold for the printer-resident database. Once the threshold is
reached, the data will be automatically uploaded to the server. The
DPServer operator can also upload the database contents manually.

Store accounting data on server. The printer and server accounting
information is stored in a database on DPServer. As a default, this
database stores the most recent 1000 records received from the printer.
This value may be changed by you depending on your needs,
however, it is not recommended that records be allowed to accumulate
indefinitely at the server. In addition to SMF formatting, these records
may be stored to a file, formatted using a report utility, or exported to
an application such as a performance analysis tool or a spreadsheet.

Send printer statistics to MVS client. The server compiles and formats
one variable-structured SMF record for each report in a job, and sends
the record to XPSC-MVS or XPAF Client on the host that originally sent
the job. The record is then moved to the appropriate location on the
host. This record can be used by any SMF-compatible accounting or
performance analysis package.

Analyze performance. The accounting data can also be formatted for use
with performance management and analysis software. Host-resident SMF
records may be used for capacity planning, performance tuning, and
more. Accounting data can also be formatted for use with spreadsheets
and SQL database products for customized analysis and plotting.

Write reports. With DPServer operator intervention, the accounting
database contents can be written in one of three report formats: a
listing of all jobs printed, a listing of each outage by printer, and a
listing of MVS hosts from which print jobs have been received. These
reports are offered as a starting point, as most customers have special
reporting needs and can customize these reports accordingly.

Note: The Accounting Option supports all Xerox laser printers
supported by DPServer. However, the degree of support for these
printers varies according to the printer Operating System Software
installed. Please contact your Xerox representative for further details.
