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
{ldev [;SHOW] }
OPENQ {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.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command. It may be executed only
from the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE
command.
Example
To open the spool queue for logical device 6, enter:
OPENQ 6
To show the state of queues and other information about the specified
device, enter:
OPENQ 6;SHOW
NOTE Classes are collections of devices, so operations (such as OPENQ)
on a device class are applied to all devices in the class. Thus,
if class LP consists of LDEVs 6, 11, and 19:
OPENQ 6 opens spool queues for LDEV 6
OPENQ LP opens spool queues for LDEVs 6, 11, and 19
