NetWare for SAA Services Manager Filters
Display and Event Forwarding Filters

NetWare for SAA Services Manager enables you to customize for which objects and severity levels event messages are forwarded to and displayed in the Event Monitor window.  You use the display filter to determine for which severity levels NetWare for SAA Services Manager will display network events.  You use the event forwarding filter to determine for which objects and severity levels a server forwards events to NetWare for SAA Services Manager.

Display filter

This filter determines whether NetWare for SAA Services Manager displays a forwarded event message. From the Customize Events window, you select the severity levels of the events you want NetWare for SAA Services Manager to display in the Event Monitor's list box. If an event message is forwarded to NetWare for SAA Services Manager and the event severity does not match one of the selected severity levels, NetWare for SAA Services Manager does not notify you of the event.

Event Forwarding filter

From the Server Management Options window, this filter specifies for which objects and severity levels a server forwards messages to NetWare for SAA Services Manager.  The objects you can include in a NetWare for SAA server's event forwarding filter depend on that server's hardware and software, and are listed below.

Processing of Network Events

NetWare for SAA Services Manager processes network events in the following manner:

A NetWare for SAA server detects an event.

A NetWare for SAA server uses the event forwarding filter to determine whether the event message is forwarded to NetWare for SAA Services Manager.  If the event forwarding filter is set for the related object and severity level, the server forwards the event to NetWare for SAA Services Manager.  Otherwise, the message is not forwarded.

When NetWare for SAA Services Manager receives an event message, it checks its  display filter to determine whether to display the event message.  If the display filter is set for the related severity level, NetWare for SAA Services Manager displays the event message in the Event Monitor window.  Otherwise, it is not displayed.

If the server's Event Log State setting is on, event messages are logged in the server's event log file independently of the event forwarding filter and display filter settings.

NetWare HostPrint Services

A service that can be installed on NetWare for SAA servers that allows applications running on the SAA Host to send print jobs to NetWare servers.  It does so by providing Printer LU sessions on the NetWare for SAA server which emulate IBM 3287 printers, taking print job data from applications running on the host and forwarding that data to print queues and servers on the LAN.


Host Application

An application running on the host computer.  NetWare HostPrint services enables host applications (for example: DSPRINT, VPS, RSCS) to send print data to NetWare servers.  In order to print on the LAN printers, the host application binds to a HostPrint Printer LU session and uses the NetWare print job configuration that was assigned to that session In the NetWare CSCON utility. The host application's output to a NetWare server is governed by the settings of that print job.


Printer LU Session

A session on the NetWare for SAA server that is reserved for HostPrint services.  Each printer LU session emulates an IBM 3287 printer. Printer LU sessions are initially defined in the NetWare CSCON utility.


Print Job

A set of  print instructions.  In this case, a print job is a preconfigured set of instructions for printing output from a Host application on a LAN printer. The print job name, print server, and print queue are initially configured in the NetWare PRINTCON utility, the print job's formatting settings are defined in the SYSCON utility.


Cancel Printing icon

Cancels spooling of print data from the host.  When you click this icon, HostPrint stops spooling print data from the host and sends a message to the host application that the Cancel Printing icon has been clicked.

HostPrint resumes print spooling when the host application sends a signal to start printing again, either on a new body of print data or the same print data as previously, depending on the host application.

Depending on the print job set up, print data already spooled to Host Print may still be sent to the target NetWare server for printing.


Reset Print Sessions icon

Resets the current printer LU session.

Clicking this icon turns off the code in the Printer Status field and sends a power-on reset message to the host application.  HostPrint resumes the session when the host application reestablishes the session.  After the session is reestablished, printing continues if the host application allows it.


PA1 icon

Sends a Program Attention (PA) signal to host applications that support PA signals.


PA2 icon

Sends a Program Attention (PA) signal to host applications that support PA signals.


More Information icon

Displays the Configure Printer LU Session window for the selected printer LU session.  In the Configure Printer LU window, you can temporarily reconfigure settings for the selected printer LU session.


Start icon

Turns an operation (such as a trace or a printer LU session state) ON.


Stop icon

Turns an operation (such as a trace or printer LU session state) OFF.


HostPrint

The NWSAA Services Manager interface to NetWare HostPrint  lets you manage and temporarily reconfigure printer LU sessions  and associated print jobs  set up for NetWare HostPrint through the CSCON, SYSCON, and PRINTCON utilities.

Within the HostPrint interface module of NWSAA Services Manager, you can select a HostPrint printer LU session, temporarily reassign the print job assigned to that session or  temporarily reconfigure the print job format settings.  You can also reset and cancel printing on the LU session.

The changes you make to the Printer LU session settings remain in effect until the Printer LU Session state is turned OFF or until the HostPrint NLM is unloaded. When the HosPrint NLM is reloaded, the original settings are restored.

NetWare for SAA Server Prerequisites:

-	NetWare for SAA v1.3 or higher installed.

-	NetWare HostPrint v2.0 or later installed and loaded.

-	LU sessions configured and assigned within HostPrint.

Workstation Prerequisites:
