piodmgr Command

Purpose

Compacts the Object Data Manager (ODM) database in the /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit directory.

Syntax

piodmgr {  -c| -h}

Description

The piodmgr command extracts existing printer definitions from the ODM database in the /var/spool/lpd/pio/@local/smit directory, re-creates the ODM database, compacts the database, and reloads the compacted database.

The -c and -h flags are mutually exclusive. The -h flag compacts the database when the hostname is changed. The -c flag always compacts the database.

Note: Root user authority is needed to run this command.

Flags

Table 1. Flags
Item	Description
-c	Extracts existing printer definitions from the ODM database, re-creates the database, compacts the information, and replaces the database.
-h	Performs exactly like the -c flag, but the -h flag compacts the information only if the hostname is changed. If the hostname is changed, the -h flag extracts the new name and updates the hostname information in the database. If the hostname has not been changed, the -h flag does not compact the information. This flag is an optional compactor rather than an automatic compactor as with the -c flag.

Examples

To compact and update the ODM printer definition database, enter:
```
piodmgr -c
```
To perform compaction of the information depending on whether the hostname is changed or not, enter:
```
piodmgr -h
```
