xcmJobClientId 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.59.6.1.1.3

A client end system supplies the 'xcmJobClientId' attribute to clearly identify jobs which that client has submitted to the server. This attribute is used as one of the indices into the ClientIdMap table. There are two types of job-submitting clients: 1. XCMI-conforming job submitting clients 2. non-XCMI-conforming job submitting clients For XCMI-conforming job submitting clients, the 'xcmJobClientId' shall be a globally unique job id. This globally unique job id shall be a textual string representation in standard dotted decimal form of an OID (used in traps related to this job generated by this host system). See XcmGlobalUniqueID in the Xerox General textual conventions in 06gentc.mib for a description of the contents required for XCMI-conforming job submitting clients. For non-XCMI-conforming job submitting clients, the job id may be any textual string and may not necessarily be unique, even if the job submitter is a strictly conforming ISO DPA client. ISO DPA: Job-client-id This attribute supplies a human-readable descriptor for the job. This descriptor may be printed by the server on auxiliary sheets to help identify the user's printed output, and discriminate between different jobs. Use and treatment of this attribute is implementation and site specific. If the client specifies the value of the job attribute job- client-id, no server shall change it. If the client does not specify the value of the job attribute job-client-id, the first server shall set it to the value of the job attribute job- identifier, so that no downstream server shall change it. These rules ensure that if an implementation prints the value of the job-client-id on an auxiliary sheet, it has a value that is meaningful to the client originally submitting the job, no matter how many servers the job passes through. For example, client A submits a job to server B and does not specify a value for the job attribute job-client-id. Server B assigns a job-identifier of 123 to the job, and forwards this job to server C. Server C assigns a job-identifier of 456 to the job and forwards this job to printer D. Printer D is not a DPA server, but it has its own queue and assigns a job-id of 789 to the job. The following table shows the value of the relevant job attributes in the two servers B and C: job- job- job- job- client-id identifier- identifier identifier- on-client on-printer --------- ----------- ---------- ----------- server B 123 unspecified 123 456 server C 123 123 456 789* * If printer D did not assign a job-id to its jobs, then the value of the job attribute job-identifier-on-printer for server C would be unspecified.
