Greetings Bil and Chris,
With apologies for the delays since our meeting over the summer. I think
we are close to being ready to test and move EP1 from Athena to IPM.
Bil the question you asked at the end of the meeting about the EP12 queue
was a good one and took us a while to figure out. We think we now have the
answer and are getting ready to test it this week.
I am writing to ask how you folks would like to coordinate the efforts of
the move?
My recollection is that there are several steps that need to happen, and
that some of them can happen independently and others need to be
coordinated between our two groups.
The steps are:
Installation of KLPR/KLP on the end user machines
Repoint the hesiod entries from APS to IPM
Set up the EP1 queues on the end user machines.
On Macintosh the set up can occur at time of installation as the mac
version checks hesiod every time it prints, but the windows only checks
hesiod at time of queue set up.
There is the potential for interruption of service to the printer when the
change is made, although it is not as long as it used to be.
How would you like to proceed? Who should be the contact/coordination
person on the CAO side of the house?
Please let me know,
Thanks
Lynne
