6-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE
Overall usage accounting
The system automatically accumulates accounting data in a file on
disk for each report printed. An installation has the parameter of
having the system accumulate this information under a specified
name, such as department code, account, or accumulate it under a
system default name.
The DEPT parameter of the ACCT command allows an installation to
define a name under which the accounting data is accumulated. The
system ACCOUNT command (refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint 96/
DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operations Reference) must also be used with
the DEPT parameter to create a name in the accounting file which
corresponds to the name specified in the DEPT specification. It is
necessary to enter this name only once with the ACCOUNT
parameter, but it must be done before a print job is run using the
DEPT name. If the name is not entered with the ACCOUNT
parameter, the accounting data for this report is accumulated in the
NODEPT entry in the accounting log. However, the DEPARTMENT
entry on the accounting page for this report lists the requested
department name followed by an asterisk to denote that no specific
accounting by this name was performed.
If the DEPT parameter is not specified, data is accumulated under a
name made up of the identifier on the JDL SYSTEM (or JDL)
parameter with the characters :JDL appended to it, assuming that
this same name exists in the accounting file. Thus, if a JDL identifier
is H2SYS, and no DEPT was specified, the default accounting name
on the accounting page is H2SYS:JDL. Data is accumulated under
this default name only if this name exists in the accounting file. If the
name is not in the accounting file, the accounting information goes to
NODEPT. ACCOUNT parameter use is described in the “Accounting
file maintenance” section of your
Xerox DocuPrint 96/
DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operations Reference.
The following example illustrates the use of the PDL command ACCT
and the system level ACCOUNT parameter.
When the system level parameter ACCOUNT ADD, OPERATIONS
is entered at the keyboard display, the name OPERATIONS is added
to the current list of names in the system accounting file.
The following PDL command requests the system to deliver one
accounting page to the sample print tray after each report is printed.
Each time a print job is run with the above command in the JDE,
report accounting statistics are updated in the system accounting file
under the name OPERATIONS:
ACCOUNT USER=TRAY, DEPT=’OPERATIONS’;
Restricting LPS usage to only those departments explicitly added to
the accounting file is accomplished by deleting the NODEPT entry. If
NODEPT is deleted, jobs are aborted unless a name has been
entered in the accounting file that corresponds with the department
name as specified on the ACCT command. The NODEPT entry must
be deleted before any accounting data has been entered under this
name or after the accounting file has been cleared.
