Command Definitions L-O
OPENQ
OPENQ
Opens the spool queue(s) for a specified logical device, or device name or all device
members of a device class. (Native Mode)
Syntax
OPENQ{ ldev[ ;SHOW] devclass[ ;SHOW] devname[ ;SHOW] @ }
Parameters
ldev The logical device number of the device.
devclass The device class name of the devices. The devclass parameter must begin
with a letter and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters.
devname The device name of the device. The devname parameter must begin with a
letter and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters. Note that it is
not possible to have a device class name and a device that are the same. If
you enter an alphanumeric character string, the command searches the
device class list first, and then the device name list.
SHOW The SHOW parameter displays the current state (enabled or disabled) of the
devices specified with the OPENQ command.
@ The @ parameter globally reenables all currently open spooling queues
that were disabled because the system ran out of system domain disk
space, a file limit was encountered on the HPSPOOL account or its groups,
or the SHUTQ @ command was entered.
If the spooling queues are disabled globally because the system is out of
disk space or a file limit is encountered on the HPSPOOL account or its
groups, the problem should be resolved before globally enabling spooling
queues with the OPENQ @ command.
Refer to the Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual (32650-90166) for
more discussion on globally enabling and disabling spooling queues.
Use the @ option without any other parameter. The SHOW option entered
with the @ option returns an error.
Operation Notes
The OPENQ command enables the operator to control the spool queue of a specified device
or all devices of a device class without affecting the operation of spooler processes. It also
gives the operator access to spool queues for which no spooler or physical device exists.
Spoolfiles can be created faster than they are processed. You may want to issue a SHUTQ
command, to clear the backlog of files in the queue, and then reopen it with an OPENQ
command when the queue is clear.
The OPENQ command also serves as an option to the STOPSPOOL and SPOOLER commands.
