How to monitor all print streams?
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER: the user-dedicated spooler
Definition
MOM is a spooler for Unix, Linux and/or Windows that manages print files, outqs and
printers in a Web browser.
General Principle
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER
combines powerful capabilities with unrivalled ease-of-use and offers a
high
degree of integration so you can achieve a higher level of productivity in
the way you manage
printers and print files. This enables your operational and
helpdesk teams to save considerable amounts of time that they can devote to
increasing the quality of service offered to business end users.
The MAPPING spooler
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER
manages
all spool files in the enterprise whether they are generated with
MAPPING Suite (MAPREPORT, MAPPING) or not. Its unique
rules engine makes it
easy to automatically trigger actions applied to your spool files (generation
from files or databases, overlay,
bar code, etc.) and define routing criteria
according to spool file attributes or content. Once the rules are defined,
output can be automated.
Print streams
Real-time
printer and print job status let you
act proactively rather than reactively.
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER offers log
files at any level e.g. spool file, printer, queue and a quick
diagnostic tool in case a problem happens. This integrates seamlessly into most
supervision systems.
Managing spool files
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER's
Web-based user interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Printers and rules can
be sorted against organizational criteria (including as many sub-levels as
required). This allows transferring all or part of the management of printers
and spool files to business end users or groups of users according to your
structure. MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER is so easy to use that you can deploy it
without having to plan product training sessions. Users can see the
status of their files and printers and perform most actions by themselves.
This lightens the load on helpdesk technicians who can then focus on other
tasks.
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER
can be the focal point for the management of your
printer pool and all your
spool files (regardless of the origin, transfer mode and operating system
that generated them) in a centralized or decentralized architecture. Consequently,
you no longer need to train your IT staff and business end users to the use of
different spoolers on different platforms (OS/400, i5OS, AIX, HP/UX,
Linux, Windows…) in your enterprise. This helps save huge amounts of time
as it greatly reduces the need for product training, makes deployment
a lot faster and simplifies the way you can lead the changes necessary to your
business.
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER applies routing, print
and dispatch rules.
MAPPING OUTPUT MANAGER
has been designed to integrate seamlessly with any high availability solution.
