JMP TELECONFERENCE MINUTES
January 23, 1997

Participants:

Ron Bergman  -  Dataproducts
Keith Carter  -  IBM
Mabry Dozier  -  QMS
Tom Hastings  -  Xerox
Harry Lewis  -  IBM
Bob Pentecost  -  HP
Lloyd Young  -  Lexmark

Tom Hastings announced that the draft of the Printer Jobs MIB was completed but he has not tried to compile the document.  The consensus was that the document should be distributed for review ASAP and resolve any problems concerning compilation at a later

Seven comparisons of the Job MIB to current private implementations have been loaded to the PWG FTP server.  Ron Bergman put together a quick summary of the results.  This summary did not include HP, since this data was not available until an hour before 

The objects with no private MIB usage were discussed.  (Group indexes were ignored.)  Tom Hastings proposed that these objects should be considered as candidates for removal.  These items should be reviewed again after the comparison summary is available.

Tom Hastings proposed that jmJobDeviceNameRequested could be expanded to include the queue.  Xerox will most likely use this object to define the "Logical Printer" selected.  In a similar manner, Dataproducts has an object used to define the "Virtual Prin

Harry Lewis proposed that jmJobSubmissionTime be moved to the Queue Group.  This object could not be implemented in devices that do not support queuing.

Considerable discussion occurred regarding the Resources Group and the jmResourceType enums.  This group appears to require additional work.  This is a good topic for the D.L. and/or the next teleconference.

Harry Lewis indicated that an object was needed to define "where is my job located" (or where can I find the job when it is completed).

There will be another teleconference to continue these discussions on Thursday, January 30.  The time, phone number and access code will be the same.
