Saclient.exe and swclient.exe

The command line programs saclient.exe and swclient.exe are provided to facilitate submitting a job to KCM Core using TCP/IP.

Saclient submits a job to KCM Core using TCP/IP sockets from an ASCII environment and swclient does the same from a Unicode environment.

Starting saclient on a command line without parameters returns all options and the syntax.

Usage: saclient.exe [-s|-r|-t|-c|-e|-k|-d|-i
sessionID|-a] host port jobid service [parameters]

The following table describes options that you can use.

-s	Sends a synchronous request
-r	Allows the client to receive files from the server [implies -s]
-t	Allows the client to send files to the server [implies -s]
-c	Confirms disconnect
-e	Enables the exchange_data function calls [implies -s]
-k	Enables Verify Connection (This corresponds to OPTION_VERIFY_CONNECTION extended attributes of the SUBMITJOB4/ SUBMITJOB5 data structure).
-d	Disables the packet size optimizations done by the Nagle algorithm. This option improves responsiveness significantly at the cost of increased network traffic
-i	Runs the job in the KCM Core session specified by the given session ID
-a	Runs the job once on every available KCM Document Processor [disables -s]

For a complete description of these settings, see SUBMITJOB4 and SUBMITJOB5.

In addition to saclient.exe and swclient.exe, a third program called winclient.exe is provided. This is a variation of saclient.exe, created to solve specific printer switching problems with saclient.exe in a Windows environment. You should use saclient.exe instead.
