Usage notes

  1. The migration program writes the Printer Inventory definition statements it generates to its stdout file. It writes its report to its stderr file. By default, both stdout and stderr are directed to the terminal. In most cases you should redirect the output to files by using the UNIX redirection symbol (> for stdout and 2> for stderr).
  2. You can rerun the migration program as often as you want before you run the PIDU program to create the Printer Inventory because the migration program only generates text output files and does not modify input files or create any entries in the Printer Inventory.
  3. Save the stdout file from the migration program until you are satisfied with the entries in the Printer Inventory. If you have run the PIDU, you might need to edit the stdout file before you can rerun the migration program. See Rerunning the migration program and the PIDU program for more information.
