Hi Rocklyn,
RETIPM and RETIPM2 have been created in MOIRA and associated with the print
server: plunder.mit.edu and with a little care associated with the
hostname ret.mit.edu and that printer's LAN HW ADDR. If last night's
processing went smoothly, they should be available now.
R3-admin... I am not sure... however, do wish to mention... do we wish
to consider "plunder.mit.edu" in the nightly feeds from moira to windsurf?
or, will another approach be more desirable for notification in creating
the R/3 output device for IPM?
Thanks,
Theresa
