  • Use two-stage error handling — This feature will be implemented in a future release.
  • Use detailed system errors — Enables more granular control of system error handling.
  • Use detailed SNMP errors — Enables error handling control for specific SNMP conditions. Once the option is selected, click the Select errors button to select the SNMP conditions you want to process. The selected conditions will be listed in the grid where error handling is configured.
  • Time between retries — Sets the time between transmission retries.
  • Maintain priority order during retry — Allows the destination to print other documents in a ready state if an earlier document is in a retry state.
  • Attempt error recovery after — Sets the time to wait before attempting error recovery.
Grid options

Click directly in the grid to configure error handling for the listed errors.

  • Error reported column — Displays the error type or SNMP condition type (or message) for which to configure error handling. More granular options can be made available by selecting the Use detailed system errors and Use detailed SNMP errors checkboxes.
  • Interval before assigning state column — Sets the number of retries (system errors) or time interval (SNMP conditions) to wait before assigning the destination state.
  • Interval type column — Sets the type of interval for retries.
  • Assign destination state column — Sets the state to which the destination should be assigned when all retries have failed. Options are:
  • Ignore — Ignores the error and leaves the destination in a Ready state.
  • Error — Sets the destination to Error state. Error recovery will be attempted based on the time interval set in the Attempt error recovery after field.
  • Down — Sets the destination to a Down state. The destination must be manually moved out of this state.
  • Assign document state column — Sets the state to which the document should be assigned when all retries have failed. Options are:
  • Error — Sets the document to Error state. This means the document has a problem and cannot be routed to a destination.
  • Ready — Sets the document to to Ready state. This means the document is not currently being processed by Output Manager and can be routed to a destination.
  • Failover — Sets the document to Failover state. This means the destination to which the document is routed has a problem and documents routed to that destination will be re-routed (fail over) to a different, previously configured destination.
