Cluster Name

 

Any name used to identify the cluster. To enable clustering, you must identify the cluster name in the appropriate text box.

For more details, see the Sentinel Installation Guide.

Application System User

When working with a non-Windows application, print jobs sometimes arrive with the same user name. For example, when working with Oracle applications, the print jobs always arrive as if from user APPLMGR, rather than from the correct user name.  This is a problem when trying to release the print job, since Sentinel doesn’t know which user actually sent the job.

To work around this problem, some applications allow the implementers of the application to change the job name:

  1. Change the job name to username@jobaname.

  2. Enter the special application user name (for example, APPLMGR) in the text box.

When Sentinel receives a job from this special user name, Sentinel searches for the @ character in the user name and interprets any string before @ as the real user name.

Release All Jobs for Application User When selected, all jobs for the generic application user are released to print.
Remove Symbols from User Name (Left) Instructs Sentinel to search for special characters in the user name. These characters are “at” (@), colon (:), underscore (_), hyphen (-), and slash (/). When Sentinel finds any of those characters, it removes everything before the character. This is useful in systems where the user name arrives with a prefix; for example, APP_USERNAME becomes USERNAME.
Support Multi Servers Select if you have several print servers working with one database.
Default Currency Select the currency to apply to the Sentinel installation.
