Reports > Print supervision 

This function is used to visualize, for a specific print server, the list of tasks under process and, depending on the authorization level, to delete one task from the list or to change its priority.

The information specified can be used to visualize the configuration of the print server by displaying:

- the maximum number of simultaneous processes: that is, the number of prints processed in parallel

- the maximum length of the request stack 

- the number of clients connected: those who have an open socket to the print server (request, monitoring, pooling)

- the IP address and the connection date of the clients

- a grid which gives the characteristics of requests known to the printing server, such as

      • the sequence of the print job in the stack
      • the number of the print job
      • the code of the user who has launched it
      • the report code
      • the application of origin: server, service, folder
      • the phase of the report
          • Pending 1: request reception
          • Pending 2: parameter reading
          • Pending 3: Cache update
          • Pending 4: Processing attachments
          • Pending 5: Waiting for the availability of the print server canal
          • In progress 1: Request taken into account by the printing process
          • In progress 2: Request taken into account by the Crystal Report engine print
          • Completed
          • Error
      • the status
      • the waiting and execution times
      • the destination: printer, preview, file, message 
      • the number of linked process
      • the client workstation which has launched the request
      • the number of the linked job (if several states are linked)
