Transferring InfoPrint Manager objects across servers
You can use the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface (Web GUI) to move InfoPrint Manager queues and actual destinations from one server to another, provided both servers
are running on the same computer.
Alternatively, you can use the pdset command to change the value of the associated-server attribute for specific queues and actual destinations. As a result, the queues or
actual destinations together with all their dependent objects are removed from the
source server and recreated on the target server in a single step.
Important: The
associated-server attribute is settable using the pdset command. When you change the value of this attribute, InfoPrint Manager automatically:- Removes the specified object and all its dependent objects from the source server
- Recreates the object and its dependent objects on the target server
- Preserves all attribute values and object states
- Note:
- Ensure that both the source and target servers are running and accessible.
- Ensure that all required resources are available on the target server (for example, transform scripts and resource paths used by transforms).
- All attribute values for the transferred objects are stored in memory and applied when the objects are created on the target server.
- The states of the objects are preserved (for example, a disabled logical destination on the source server will also be disabled on the target server).
- If an object fails to be created on the target server, all objects that were successfully created are automatically deleted, and all objects are restored on the source server.
Dependent objects
When you transfer an object, all dependent objects are automatically transferred with it. The following table shows the dependent objects for each object type.
| Object type | Dependent objects |
|---|---|
| Queue | All logical destinations associated with the queue |
| Actual destination | None (actual destinations have no dependent objects) |
| Logical destination | Must be transferred by transferring its associated queue |
