Infoprint XT provides a transform accounting application exit, aioxlxae, which you can use to capture transform-specific information from the data stream conversion process. Use this information for purposes such as billing. The application exit does not capture information about the printing process.

Infoprint XT passes these options to the application exit:

-e arguments

Specifies any application exit arguments specified with the -e transform directive. For more information, see Transform directives and syntax.

-j jobname-jobID-n

Specifies the job identifier to the application exit. Infoprint XT automatically derives the jobname and jobID values, and assigns a unique sequence number, n. If Infoprint XT is unable to derive the job name and job ID, it passes UNKNOWN-UNKNOWN-n as the job identifier.

-p passthru_values

Specifies the same values that the -p option for the job specifies, if it is present. See Using the pdxtx2afp command to process jobs.

-q dest

Specifies the destination for the job.

-s submit_method

Specifies the job-submission method, where submit_method is:

infoprint

Infoprint Server initiated the transform.

pdxtx2afp

The pdxtx2afp command initiated the transform.

-x transform_options

Specifies all the conversion parameters that Infoprint XT uses when it converts the Xerox job to AFP. The set of conversion parameters can contain more than one occurrence of a specific parameter. In this case, Infoprint XT uses the value for the last occurrence of the parameter.

-w directory

Specifies the name of the Infoprint XT working directory. Typically, this is /var/pdxt.

-t type

Specifies the type of accounting information. This corresponds to the point in the transform process at which Infoprint XT gathered the information. Valid types are:

AIOX2ABC

Infoprint XT generates a single AIOX2ABC observation when it starts the data stream conversion process.

AIOX2AOC

When data stream conversion finishes for a report in the job, Infoprint XT generates a single AIOX2AOC observation for the report.

AIOX2AEC

Infoprint XT generates a single AIOX2AEC observation when data stream conversion finishes for the job.

Note: For specific information about the types of accounting information, see Components of transform accounting observations.

-l level

Specifies the level of detailed accounting information. This corresponds to the data format. If Infoprint XT changes the format of the detailed accounting information, it increments the level. This makes it possible for aioxlxae to differentiate between records built with the original format and records built with a new format. The initial level is 0.

-i information

Specifies the detailed accounting information for the three observation types, as described in Components of transform accounting observations.
