Hi Team,
Yesterday I reported that I had deactivated the code that rejected
print files submitted by users with incomplete information and left
in place code which would send email warnings to printdel@mit.edu.
Unfortunately, the code I left in place failed when it encountered
the jobs it was supposed to report (i.e. the ones with missing
information) and caused those jobs to fail also. I had trouble
testing this code because I was relying on the job submission page to
make changes to my cost object, building, and room number. Now that
we are rejecting web submission with incomplete data, I could no
longer use this page to wipe out my information for the purposes of
testing.
Lynne's recent email reminded me about the account info page and I
have now been able to use it successfully to eliminate my own
information and test my code properly. The testing has resulted in
several emails to printdel@mit.edu (which you should have seen by
now) and I am now confident that my code fixes are working. I have
therefore installed my changes to the ifipm.pl filter.
In order to avoid problems in the future I have set up the test
versions of the ipm blocks in /etc/printcap to invoke the test
version of the filter:
/var/mit/filter/ifipmtest.pl
This will enable me to keep production and test versions of the
filter separate.
By the way, the email that will be sent to printdel@mit.edu could
just as easily be sent to the print job submittor also (or instead
of). Let me know if you want me to make that change.
In the mean time remember that the logs are now available on the web:
https://pillage.mit.edu/weblogs/ (summary logs)
https://pillage.mit.edu/filter/ (detailed logs)
Below you will find excerpted from the summary logs the print files
which were unfortunately rejected.
Rocklyn
