8.12 PJM in Command Line Mode
Besides the graphical user interface, the Print Job Manager also provides a command-
based interface, which can be called on all systems that have the PJM GUI Client installed.
Starting with version 3 of PRISMAproduction the PJM command line can also be installed
separately.
There are two incarnations of the PJM command line in version 3:
• as a Java application it can run on any platform which supports JDK 1.3 and higher
• as an executable it is supported on LINUX and Windows. The executable is small and
fast on the client site, as the PRISMAproduction socket interface is used and most of
the work is done on the server site.
The PJM command line enables you to execute print jobs by entering a command string.
Also a few maintenance functions can be performed especially regarding Print File Librar-
ies. In general some form of a Job Ticket is defined and merged with other command line
options. This results in a submission ticket which is transferred to the PRISMAproduction
system along with the print data (as far as necessary). The resulting ticket controls the print
process on the server site.
In particular you can:
• Specifiy a PRISMAproduction system on which the print job should run
• Define either a local or reprint Job Ticket as basis for a print job - optional along with a
custom ticket OCT for modifications of the original ticket
• Specify a job class, printer, the job name, copy count and form
• Specify a page definition and form definition for APA jobs
• Select a composer set to impose chained files
• Replace local files and/or files from a Print File Library in the list of files already defined
in the original ticket
• Delete documents in a Print File Libraries and Resource Libraries
• Display the status of a job or a list of jobs
• Cancel a job or a list of jobs
• Request a jobid and use it in a subsequent job submission
All options regarding Print File Libraries are applicable to PRISMAproduction systems with
the language module POD only. Same applies to the composer set name.
The option regarding page and form definition is applicable to PRISMAproduction systems
with the language module APA only.
