Abstract
This Internet-Draft specifies a set of 17 SNMP MIB objects for (1)
monitoring the status and progress of print jobs (2) obtaining
resource requirements before a job is processed, (3) monitoring
resource consumption while a job is being processed and (4)
collecting resource accounting data after the completion of a job.
This MIB is intended to be implemented (1) in a printer or (2) in a
server that supports one or more printers. Use of the object set
is not limited to printing. However, support for services other
than printing is outside the scope of this Job Monitoring MIB.

Job Monitoring MIB
1. Introduction
The Job Monitoring MIB consists of a 6-object General Group, a 2-object
Job Submission ID Group, a 7-object Job Group, and a 2-object Attribute
Group. Each group is a table. The General Group contains general
information that applies to all jobs in a job set. The Job Submission
ID table maps the job submission ID that the client uses to identify a
job to the jmJobIndex that the Job Monitoring Agent uses to identify
jobs in the Job and Attribute tables. The Job table contains the
mandatory integer job state and status objects. The Attribute table
consists of multiple entries per job that specify (1) job and document
identification and parameters, (2) requested resources, and (3)
consumed resources during and after job processing/printing. One
MANDATORY attribute and 70 OPTIONAL attributes are defined as textual
conventions.
The Job Monitoring MIB is intended to be instrumented by an agent within
a printer or the first server closest to the printer, where the printer
is either directly connected to the server only or the printer does not
contain the job monitoring MIB agent. It is recommended that
implementations place the SNMP agent as close as possible to the
processing of the print job. This MIB applies to printers with and
without spooling capabilities. This MIB is designed to be compatible
with most current commonly-used job submission protocols. In most
environments that support high function job submission/job control
protocols, like ISO DPA[2], those protocols would be used to monitor and
manage print jobs rather than using the Job Monitoring MIB.
1.1 Types of Information in the MIB
The job MIB is intended to provide the following information for the
indicated Role Models in the Printer MIB[1] (Appendix D - Roles of
Users).
User:
Provide the ability to identify the least busy printer. The user
will be able to determine the number and size of jobs waiting for
each printer. No attempt is made to actually predict the length
of time that jobs will take.
Provide the ability to identify the current status of the user's
job (user queries).
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 9]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
Provide a timely indication that the job has completed and where
it can be found.
Provide error and diagnostic information for jobs that did not
successfully complete.
Operator:
Provide a presentation of the state of all the jobs in the print
system.
Provide the ability to identify the user that submitted the print
job.
Provide the ability to identify the resources required by each
job.
Provide the ability to define which physical printers are
candidates for the print job.
Provide some idea of how long each job will take. However, exact
estimates of time to process a job is not being attempted.
Instead, objects are included that allow the operator to be able
to make gross estimates.
Capacity Planner:
Provide the ability to determine printer utilization as a function
of time.
Provide the ability to determine how long jobs wait before
starting to print.
Accountant:
Provide information to allow the creation of a record of resources
consumed and printer usage data for charging users or groups for
resources consumed.
Provide information to allow the prediction of consumable usage
and resource need.
The MIB supports printers that can contain more than one job at a time,
but still be usable for low end printers that only contain a single job
at a time. In particular, the MIB supports the needs of Windows and
other PC environments for managing low-end networked devices without
unnecessary overhead or complexity, while also providing for higher end
systems and devices.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 10]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
1.2 Types of Job Monitoring Applications
The Job Monitoring MIB is designed for the following types of monitoring
applications:
1.monitor a single job starting when the job is submitted and
finishing a defined period after the job completes. The Job
Submission ID table provides the map to find the specific job to be
monitored.
2.monitor all 'active' jobs in a queue, which this specification
generalizes to a "job set". End users may use such a program when
selecting a least busy printer, so the MIB is designed for such a
program to start up quickly and find the information needed quickly
without having to read all (completed) jobs in order to find the
active jobs. System operators may also use such a program, in
which case it would be running for a long period of time and may
also be interested in the jobs that have completed. Finally such a
program may be co-located with the printer to provide an enhanced
console and logging capability.
3.collect resource usage for accounting or system utilization
purposes that copy the completed job statistics to an accounting
system. It is recognized that depending on accounting programs to
copy MIB data during the job-retention period is somewhat
unreliable, since the accounting program may not be running (or may
have crashed). Such a program is expected to keep a shadow copy of
the entire Job Attribute table including completed, canceled, and
aborted jobs which the program updates on each polling cycle. Such
a program polls at the rate of the persistence of the Attribute
table. The design is not optimized to help such an application
determine which jobs are completed, canceled, or aborted. Instead,
the application SHALL query each job that the application's shadow
copy shows was not complete, canceled, or aborted at the previous
poll cycle to see if it is now complete or canceled, plus any new
jobs that have been submitted.
The MIB provides a set of objects that represent a compatible subset of
job and document attributes of the ISO DPA standard[2] and the Internet
Printing Protocol (IPP)[3], so that coherence is maintained between
these two protocols and the information presented to end users and
system operators by monitoring applications. However, the job
monitoring MIB is intended to be used with printers that implement other
job submitting and management protocols, such as IEEE 1284.1 (TIPSI)[4],
as well as with ones that do implement ISO DPA. So nothing in the job
monitoring MIB requires implementation of the ISO DPA or IPP protocols.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 11]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
The MIB is designed so that an additional MIB(s) can be specified in the
future for monitoring multi-function (scan, FAX, copy) jobs as an
augmentation to this MIB.
2. Terminology and Job Model
This section defines the terms that are used in this specification and
the general model for jobs.
NOTE - Existing systems use conflicting terms, so these terms are
drawn from the ISO 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA)
standard[2]. For example, PostScript systems use the term session for
what we call a job in this specification and the term job to mean what
we call a document in this specification. PJL systems use the term
job to mean what we call a job in this specification. PJL also
supports multiple documents per job, but does not support specifying
per-document attributes independently for each document.
A job is a unit of work whose results are expected together without
interjection of unrelated results. A client is able to specify job
instructions that apply to the job as a whole. Proscriptive
instructions specify how, when, and where the job is to be printed.
Descriptive instructions describe the job. A job contains one or more
documents.
A job set is a set of jobs that are queued and scheduled together
according to a specified scheduling algorithm for a specified device or
set of devices. For implementations that embed the SNMP agent in the
device, the MIB job set normally represents all the jobs known to the
device, so that the implementation only implements a single job set
which MAY be identified with a hard-coded value 1. If the SNMP agent is
implemented in a server that controls one or more devices, each MIB job
set represents a job queue for (1) a specific device or (2) set of
devices, if the server uses a single queue to load balance between
several devices. Each job set is disjoint; no job SHALL be represented
in more than one MIB job set.
A document is a sub-section within a job. A document contains print
data and document instructions that apply to just the document. The
client is able to specify document instructions separately for each
document in a job. Proscriptive instructions specify how the document
is to be processed and printed by the server. Descriptive instructions
describe the document. Server implementation of more than one document
per job is optional.
A client is the network entity that end users use to submit jobs to
spoolers, servers, or printers and other devices, depending on the
configuration, using any job submission protocol.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 12]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
A server is a network entity that accepts jobs from clients and in turn
submits the jobs to printers and other devices. A server MAY be a
printer supervisor control program, or a print spooler.
A device is a hardware entity that (1) interfaces to humans in human
perceptible means, such as produces marks on paper, scans marks on paper
to produce an electronic representations, or writes CD-ROMs or (2)
interfaces to a network, such as sends FAX data to another FAX device.
A printer is a device that puts marks on media.
A supervisor is a server that contains a control program that controls a
printer or other device. A supervisor is a client to the printer or
other device.
A spooler is a server that accepts jobs, spools the data, and decides
when and on which printer to print the job. A spooler is a client to a
printer or a printer supervisor, depending on implementation.
Spooling is the act of a device or server of (1) accepting jobs and (2)
writing the job's attributes and document data on to secondary storage.
Queuing is the act of a device or server of ordering (queuing) the jobs
for the purposes of scheduling the jobs to be processed.
A monitor or job monitoring application is the network entity that End
Users, System Operators, Accountants, Asset Managers, and Capacity
Planners use to monitor jobs using SNMP. A monitor MAY be either a
separate application or MAY be part of the client that also submits
jobs.
An agent is the network entity that accepts SNMP requests from a monitor
and implements the Job Monitoring MIB by instrumenting a server or a
device.
A proxy is an agent that acts as a concentrator for one or more other
agents by accepting SNMP operations on the behalf of one or more other
agents, forwarding them on to those other agents, gathering responses
from those other agents and returning them to the original requesting
monitor.
A user is a person that uses a client or a monitor.
An end user is a user that uses a client to submit a print job.
A system operator is a user that uses a monitor to monitor the system
and carries out tasks to keep the system running.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 13]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
A system administrator is a user that specifies policy for the system.
A job instruction is an instruction specifying how, when, or where the
job is to be processed. Job instructions MAY be passed in the job
submission protocol or MAY be embedded in the document data or a
combination depending on the job submission protocol and implementation.
A document instruction is an instruction specifying how to process the
document. Document instructions MAY be passed in the job submission
protocol separate from the actual document data, or MAY be embedded in
the document data or a combination, depending on the job submission
protocol and implementation.
An SNMP information object is a name, value-pair that specifies an
action, a status, or a condition in an SNMP MIB. Objects are identified
in SNMP by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
An attribute is a name, value-pair that specifies an instruction, a
status, or a condition of a job or a document that has been submitted to
a server or device. A particular attribute NEED NOT be present in each
job instance. In other words, attributes are present in a job instance
only when there is a need to express the value, either because (1) the
client supplied a value in the job submission protocol, (2) the document
data contained an embedded attribute, or (3) the server or device
supplied a default value. An agent SHALL represent an attribute as an
entry (row) in the Attribute table in this MIB in which entries are
present only when necessary. Attributes are identified in this MIB by
an enum.
Job monitoring using SNMP is (1) identifying jobs within the serial
streams of data being processed by the server, printer or other devices,
(2) creating "rows" in the job table for each job, and (3) recording
information, known by the agent, about the processing of the job in that
"row".
Job accounting is recording what happens to the job during the
processing and printing of the job.
3. System Configurations for the Job Monitoring MIB
This section enumerates the three configurations in which the Job
Monitoring MIB is intended to be used. To simplify the pictures, the
devices are shown as printers. See Goals section.
The diagram in the Printer MIB[1] entitled: "One Printer's View of the
Network" is assumed for this MIB as well. Please refer to that diagram
to aid in understanding the following system configurations.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 14]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
3.1 Configuration 1 - client-printer
In the client-printer configuration, the client(s) submit jobs directly
to the printer, either by some direct connect, or by network connection.
The client-printer configuration can accommodate multiple job submitting
clients in either of two ways:
1.if each client relinquishes control of the Print Job Delivery
Channel after each job (or after a number of jobs)
2.if the printer supports more than one Print Job Delivery Channel
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor jobs by
communicating directly with an agent that is part of the printer. The
agent in the printer SHALL keep the job in the Job Monitoring MIB as
long as the job is in the Printer, and longer in order to implement the
completed state in which monitoring programs can copy out the accounting
data from the Job Monitoring MIB.

Figure 3-1 - Configuration 1 - client-printer - agent in the printer
The Job Monitoring MIB is designed to support the following
relationships (not shown in Figure 3-1):
1.Multiple clients MAY submit jobs to a printer.
2.Multiple clients MAY monitor a printer.
3.Multiple monitors MAY monitor a printer.
4.A client MAY submit jobs to multiple printers.
5.A monitor MAY monitor multiple printers.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 15]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
3.2 Configuration 2 - client-server-printer - agent in the server
In the client-server-printer configuration 2, the client(s) submit jobs
to an intermediate server by some network connection, not directly to
the printer. While configuration 2 is included, the design center for
this MIB is configurations 1 and 3,
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor job by
communicating directly with:
1.a Job Monitoring MIB agent that is part of the server (or a
front for the server)
There is no SNMP Job Monitoring MIB agent in the printer in
configuration 2, at least that the client or monitor are aware. In this
configuration, the agent SHALL return the current values of the objects
in the Job Monitoring MIB both for jobs the server keeps and jobs that
the server has submitted to the printer. In configuration 2, the server
keeps a copy of the job during the time that the server has submitted
the job to the printer. Only some time after the printer completes the
job, SHALL the server remove the representation of the job from the Job
Monitoring MIB in the server. The agent NEED NOT access the printer,
except when a monitor queries the agent using an SNMP Get for an object
in the Job Monitoring MIB. Or the agent can subscribe to the
notification events that the printer generates and keep the Job
Monitoring MIB update to date. The agent in the server SHALL keep the
job in the Job Monitoring MIB as long as the job is in the Printer, and
longer in order to implement the completed state in which monitoring
programs can copy out the accounting data from the Job Monitoring MIB.

Figure 3-2 - Configuration 2 - client-server-printer - agent in the
server
The Job Monitoring MIB is designed to support the following
relationships (not shown in Figure 3-2):
1.Multiple clients MAY submit jobs to a server.
2.Multiple clients MAY monitor a server.
3.Multiple monitors MAY monitor a server.
4.A client MAY submit jobs to multiple servers.
5.A monitor MAY monitor multiple servers.
6.Multiple servers MAY submit jobs to a printer.
7.Multiple servers MAY control a printer.
3.3 Configuration 3 - client-server-printer - client monitors printer
agent and server
In the client-server-printer configuration 3, the client(s) submit jobs
to an intermediate server by some network connection, not directly to
the printer.
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor jobs by
communicating directly with:
1.the server using some protocol to monitor jobs in the server
that does not contain the Job Monitoring MIB AND
2.a Job Monitoring MIB agent that is part of the printer to
monitor jobs after the server passes the jobs to the printer.
In such configurations, the server deletes its copy of the job
from the server after submitting the job to the printer usually
almost immediately (before the job does much processing, if
any).
There is no SNMP Job Monitoring MIB agent in the server in configuration
3, at least that the client or monitor are aware. In this
configuration, the agent (in the printer) SHALL keep the values of the
objects in the Job Monitoring MIB that the agent implements updated for
a job that the server has submitted to the printer. The agent SHALL
obtain information about the jobs submitted to the printer from the
server (either in the job submission protocol, in the document data, or
by direct query of the server), in order to populate some of the objects
the Job Monitoring MIB in the printer. The agent in the printer SHALL
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 17]

keep the job in the Job Monitoring MIB as long as the job is in the
Printer, and longer in order to implement the completed state in which
monitoring programs can copy out the accounting data from the Job
Monitoring MIB.

This specification uses the verbs: "SHALL", "SHOULD", "MAY", and "NEED
NOT" to specify conformance requirements according to RFC 2119 as
follows:
. "SHALL": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence must
implement in order to claim conformance to this specification
. "MAY": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence does
not have to implement in order to claim conformance to this
specification, in other words that action is an implementation
option
. "NEED NOT": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence
does not have to implement in order to claim conformance to this
specification. The verb "NEED NOT" is used instead of "may not",
since "may not" sounds like a prohibition.
. "SHOULD": indicates an action that is recommended for the subject
of the sentence to implement, but is not required, in order to
claim conformance to this specification.
4.2 Agent Conformance Requirements
A conforming agent:
1.SHALL implement all MANDATORY groups and attributes in this
specification.
2.NEED NOT implement any OPTIONAL attributes, whether the agent is able
to obtain the information from the server or device.
3.NEED NOT implement both forms of an attribute if it implements an
attribute that permits a choice of Integer and Octets forms, though
implementing both forms may help management applications by giving
them a choice of representations, since the representation are
equivalent. See page 55.
NOTE - This MIB, like the Printer MIB, is written following the
subset of SMIv2 that can be supported by SMIv1 and SNMPv1
implementations.
4.2.1 MIB II System Group objects
The Job Monitoring MIB agent SHALL implement all objects in the system
group of MIB-II (RFC 1213)[5], whether the Printer MIB[1] is implemented
or not.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 19]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
4.2.2 MIB II Interface Group objects
The Job Monitoring MIB agent SHALL implement all objects in the
Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 1213)[5], whether the Printer MIB[1] is
implemented or not.
4.2.3 Printer MIB objects
If the agent is instrumenting a device that is a printer, the agent
SHALL implement all of the mandatory objects in the Printer MIB[1] and
all the objects in other MIBs that conformance to the Printer MIB
requires, such as the Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514)[6]. If the agent is
instrumenting a server that controls one or more networked printers, the
agent NEED NOT implement the Printer MIB and NEED NOT implement the Host
Resources MIB.
4.3 Job Monitoring Application Conformance Requirements
A conforming job monitoring application:
1.SHALL accept all objects in all MANDATORY groups and all MANDATORY
attributes that are required to be implemented by an agent according
to Section 4.2 and SHALL either present them to the user or ignore
them.
2.SHALL accept all OPTIONAL attributes, including enum and bit values
specified in this specification and additional ones that may be
registered with IANA and SHALL either present them to the user or
ignore them. In particular, a conforming job monitoring application
SHALL not malfunction when receiving any standard or registered enum
or bit values. See Section 7 entitled "IANA Considerations" on page
22.
3.SHALL accept either form of time attribute, if it supports a time
attribute, since agents are free to implement either time form. See
page 55.
5. Job Identification
There are a number of attributes that permit a user, operator or system
administrator to identify jobs of interest, such as jobOwner, jobName,
etc. In addition, there is a Job Submission ID object that allows a
monitoring application to quickly locate and identify a particular job
of interest that was submitted from a particular client by the user
invoking the monitoring application. The Job Monitoring MIB needs to
provide for identification of the job at both sides of the job
submission process. The primary identification point is the client
side. The Job Submission ID allows the monitoring application to
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 20]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
identify the job of interest from all the jobs currently "known" by the
server or device. The Job Submission ID can be assigned by either the
client's local system or a downstream server or device. The point of
assignment will be determined by the job submission protocol in use.
The server/device-side identifier, called the jmJobIndex object, will be
assigned by the server or device that accepts the jobs from submitting
clients. The MIB agent SHALL use the job identifier assigned by the
server or device to the job as the value of the jmJobIndex object that
defines the table rows (there are multiple tables) that contain the
information relating to the job. This object allows the interested
party to obtain all objects desired that relate to this job. The MIB
provides a mapping table that maps each Job Submission ID to the
corresponding jmJobIndex value, so that an application can determine the
correct value for the jmJobIndex value for the job of interest in a
single Get operation. See the jmJobIDGroup on page 73.
The jobName attribute provides a name that the user supplies as a job
attribute with the job. The jobName attribute is not necessarily
unique, even for one user, let alone across users.
6. Internationalization Considerations
There are a number of objects in this MIB that are represented as coded
character sets. The data type for such objects is OCTET STRING. Such
objects could be in different coded character sets and could be
localized in the language and country, i.e., could be localized.
However, for the Job Monitoring MIB, most of the objects are supplied as
job attributes by the client that submits the job to the server or
device and so are represented in the coded character set specified by
that client. Therefore, the agent is not able to provide for different
representations depending on the locale of the server, device, or user
of the job monitoring application. The only exception is job submission
protocols that pass job or document attributes as OBJECT IDENTIFIERS or
enums. For those job and document attributes, the agent SHALL represent
the corresponding objects in the Job Monitoring MIB as coded character
sets in the current (default) locale of the server or printer as
established by the system administrator or the implementation.
For simplicity, this specification assumes that the clients, job
monitoring applications, servers, and devices are all running in the
same locale. However, this specification allows them to run in any
locale, including locales that use two-octet coded character sets, such
as ISO 10646 (Unicode). Job monitors applications are expected to
understand the coded character set of the client (and job), server, or
device. No special means is provided for the monitor to discover the
coded character set used by jobs or by the server or device. This
specification does not contain an object that indicates what locale the
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 21]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
server or device is running in, let alone contain an object to control
what locale the agent is to use to represent coded character set
objects.
This MIB also contains objects that are represented using the
DateAndTime textual convention from SNMPv2-TC (RFC 1903). The job
management application SHALL display such objects in the locale of the
user running the monitoring application.
7. IANA Considerations
During the development of this standard, the Printer Working Group (PWG)
working with IANA will register additional enums while the standard is
in the proposed and draft states according to the procedures described
in this section. IANA will handle registration of additional enums
after this standard is approved in cooperation with an IANA-appointed
registration editor from the PWG according to the procedures described
in this section:
7.1 IANA Registration of enums
This specification uses textual conventions to define enumerated values
(enums) and bit values. Enumerations (enums) and bit values are sets of
symbolic values defined for use with one or more objects or attributes.
All enumeration sets and bit value sets are assigned a symbolic data
type name (textual convention). As a convention the symbolic name ends
in "TC" for textual convention. These enumerations are defined at the
beginning of the MIB module specification.
This working group has defined several type of enumerations for use in
the Job Monitoring MIB and the Printer MIB[1]. These types differ in
the method employed to control the addition of new enumerations.
Throughout this document, references to "type n enum", where n can be 1,
2 or 3 can be found in the various tables. The definitions of these
types of enumerations are:
7.1.1 Type 1 enumerations
Type 1 enumeration: All the values are defined in the Job Monitoring
MIB specification (RFC for the Job Monitoring MIB). Additional
enumerated values require a new RFC.
NOTE - There are no type 1 enums in the current draft.
7.1.2 Type 2 enumerations
Type 2 enumeration: An initial set of values are defined in the Job
Monitoring MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 22]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
registered after review by this working group. The initial versions of
the MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB is
approved, additional values will be registered through IANA after
approval by this working group.
The following type 2 enums are contained in the current draft :
1.JmTimeStampTC
2.JmFinishingTC
3.JmPrintQualityTC
4.JmTonerEconomyTC
5.JmPrinterResolutionTC
6.JmMediumTypeTC
7.JmJobStateTC
8.JmAttributeTypeTC
7.1.3 Type 3 enumeration
Type 3 enumeration: An initial set of values are defined in the Job
Monitoring MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
registered without working group review. The initial versions of the
MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB is
approved, additional values will be registered through IANA without
approval by this working group.
NOTE - There are no type 3 enums in the current draft.
7.2 IANA Registration of type 2 bit values
This draft contains the following type 2 bit value textual-conventions:
1.JmJobServiceTypesTC
2.JmJobStateReasons1TC
3.JmJobStateReasons2TC
4.JmJobStateReasons3TC
5.JmJobStateReasons4TC
These textual-conventions are defined as bits in an Integer so that they
can be used with SNMPv1 SMI. The jobStateReasonsn (n=1..4) attributes
are defined as bit values using the corresponding JmJobStateReasonsnTC
textual-conventions.
The registration of JmJobServiceTypesTC and JmJobStateReasonsnTC bit
values SHALL follow the procedures for a type 2 enum as specified in
Section 7.1.2.
7.3 IANA Registration of Job Submission Id Formats
In addition to enums and bit values, this specification assigns numbers
to various job submission ID formats. See jmJobSubmissionID on page 74.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 23]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
The registration of jmJobSubmissionID format numbers SHALL follow the
procedures for a type 2 enum as specified in Section 7.1.2.
8. Security Considerations
8.1 Read-Write objects
All objects are read-only greatly simplifying the security
considerations. If another MIB augments this MIB, that MIB might allow
objects in this MIB to be modified. However, that MIB SHALL have to
support the required access control in order to achieve security, not
this MIB.
8.2 Read-Only Objects In Other User's Jobs
The security policy of some sites may be that unprivileged users can
only get the objects from jobs that they submitted, plus a few minimal
objects from other jobs, such as the jmJobKOctetsRequested and
jmJobKOctetsCompleted objects, so that a user can tell how busy a
printer is. Other sites might allow all unprivileged users to see all
objects of all jobs. It is up to the agent to implement any such
restrictions based on the identification of the user making the SNMP
request. This MIB does not require, nor does it specify how, such
restrictions would be implemented. A monitoring application SHOULD
enforce the site security policy with respect to returning information
to an unprivileged end user that is using the monitoring application to
monitor jobs that do not belong to that user, i.e., the jobOwner
attribute in the jmAttributeTable does not match the user's user name.
See the JmAttributeTypeTC textual convention on page Error! Bookmark not
defined. and the jmAttributeTable on page 81.
An operator is a privileged user that would be able to see all objects
of all jobs, independent of the policy for unprivileged users.
9. Returning Objects With No Value In Mandatory Groups
If an object in a mandatory group does not have an instrumented value
for a particular job submission protocol or the job submitting client
did not supply a value (and the accepting server or device does not
supply a default), this MIB requires that the agent SHALL follow the
normal SNMP practice of returning a distinguished value, such as a zero-
length string, an unknown(2) value for an enum, or a (-2) for an integer
value.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 24]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
10. Notification and Traps
This MIB does not specify any traps. For simplicity, management
applications are expected to poll for status. The resulting network
traffic is not expected to be significant.
11. MIB specification
The following pages constitute the actual Job Monitoring MIB.

JmAttributeTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The type of the attribute which identifies the attribute.
Some attributes represent information about a job, such as a
file-name, or a document-name, or submission-time or completion
time. Other attributes represent resources required, e.g., a
medium or a colorant, etc. to process the job before the job
start processing OR to indicate the amount of the resource that
is being consumed while the job is processing, e.g., pages
completed or impressions completed. If both a required and a
consumed value of a resource is needed, this specification
assigns two separate attribute enums in the textual convention.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 35]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
Most attributes apply to all three configurations covered by
this MIB specification (see section 3 on page 14). Those
attribute that apply to a particular configuration are indicated
as 'Configuration n:'.
Conformance of Attribute Implementation
A very few attributes are MANDATORY for conformance, and the
rest are OPTIONAL. An agent SHALL instrument any MANDATORY
attribute. If the server or device does not provide access to
the information about the MANDATORY attribute, the agent SHALL
return the 'unknown' value. For attributes represented by a
counting integer, the unknown value is (-2) and for attributes
represented by an enum, the unknown value is (2), as in the
Printer MIB[1]. For attributes represented by an OCTET STRING,
the unknown value is a zero-length string, unless specified
otherwise.
The MANDATORY attributes are:
jobOwner(20)
The attributes not labeled as MANDATORY are OPTIONAL. An agent
MAY, but NEED NOT, implement any OPTIONAL attributes.
NOTE - The table of contents lists all the attributes in order
to help see the order of enum assignments which is the order
that the GetNext operation can be used to get attributes. The
table of contents also indicates the MANDATORY attributes as:
(MANDATORY).
NOTE - The enum assignments are grouped logically with values
assigned in groups of 20, so that additional values may be
registered in the future and assigned a value that is part of
their logical grouping.
Datatypes and Attribute Naming Conventions
The datatype of each attribute is indicated on the first line(s)
of the description. Some attributes have several different data
type representations. When the data types can be represented in
a single row in the jmAttributeTable, the data type name is not
included as the last part of the name of the attribute. When
the data types cannot be represented by a single row in the
jmAttributeTable, each such representation is considered a
separate attribute and is assigned a separate name and enum
value. For these attributes, the name of the datatype is the
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 36]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
last part of the name of the attribute: Name, Index,
DateAndTime, TimeStamp, etc.
NOTE: No attribute name exceeds 31 characters.
Single-Value (Row) Versus Multi-Value (MULTI-ROW) Attributes
Most attributes SHALL have only one row per job. However, a few
attributes can have multiple values per job or even per
document, where each value is a separate row in the
jmAttributeTable. Unless indicated with 'MULTI-ROW:' in
JmAttributeTypeTC, an agent SHALL ensure that each attribute
item occurs only once in the jmAttributeTable for a job.
Attributes that are permitted to appear multiple times in the
jmAttributeTable for a job are indicated with 'MULTI-ROW:' in
their specification in the JmAttributeTypeTC. However, such
'MULTI-ROW' attribute items SHALL not contain duplicates for
'intensive' (as opposed to 'extensive') attributes.
For example, a job or document(s) may use multiple PDLs.
However, each distinct documentFormat attribute value
SHALL appear in the jmAttributeTable only once for a job
since the interpreter language is an intensive attribute
item, even though the job has a number of documents that
all use the same PDL.
As another example of an intensive attribute that can
have multiple entries, if a document or job uses
multiple types of media, there SHALL be only one row in
the jmAttributeTable for each media type, not one row
for each document that uses that medium type.
On the other hand, if a job contains two documents of
the same name, there can be separate rows for the
documentName attribute item with the same name, since a
document name is an extensive attribute item. The
specification indicates that the values NEED NOT be
unique for such 'MULTI-ROW: attributes'
Value Represented As Integer Or Octets
In the following definitions of the enums, each description
indicates whether the value of the attribute SHALL be
represented using the jmAttributeValueAsInteger or the
jmAttributeValueAsOctets objects by the initial tag: 'INTEGER:'
or 'OCTETS:', respectively. Some attributes allow the agent a
choice of either an integer and/or an octets representation,
depending on implementation. These attributes are indicated
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 37]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
with 'INTEGER:' and/or 'OCTETS:' tags. A very few attributes
require both objects at the same time to represent a pair of
values (see mediumConsumed(171)). These attributes are
indicated with 'INTEGER:' and/or 'OCTETS:' tags. See the
jmAttributeGroup starting on page 81 for the descriptions of
these objects.
Consumption Attributes
A number of attributes record consumption. Such attribute names
end with the word 'Completed' or 'Consumed'. If the job has not
yet consumed what that resource is metering, the agent either:
(1) SHALL return the value 0 or (2) SHALL not add this attribute
to the jmAttributeTable until the consumption begins. In the
interests of brevity, the semantics for 0 is specified once here
and is not repeated for each xxxxYyyyCompleted and
xxxxYyyyConsumed attribute specification.
Index Value Attributes
A number of attributes are indexes in other tables. Such
attribute names end with the word 'Index'. If the agent does
not (yet) know the index value for a particular index attribute
for a job, the agent either: (1) SHALL return the value 0 or (2)
SHALL not add this attribute to the jmAttributeTable until the
index value is known. In the interests of brevity, the
semantics for 0 is specified once here and is not repeated for
each index attribute specification.
The standard attribute types defined so far are:"

-- is generated during the processing of the job as a simple
-- form of processing log to show progress and any problems.
--
-- There is no restriction on the same message in multiple
-- rows.
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- Job Identification attributes
--
-- The following attributes help an end user, a system
-- operator, or an accounting program identify a job.
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
jobOwner(20), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- (MANDATORY)
-- OCTETS: The coded character set name of the user that
-- submitted the job. The method of assigning this user
-- name will be system and/or site specific but the method
-- must insure that the name is unique to the network that
-- is visible to the client and target device.
--
-- This value SHOULD be the authenticated name of the user
-- submitting the job.
--
-- In order to assist users to find their jobs for job
-- submission protocols that don't supply a
-- jmJobSubmissionID, the agent SHOULD maintain the jobOwner
-- attribute for the time specified by the
-- jmGeneralJobPersistence object, rather than the (shorter)
-- jmGeneralAttributePersistence object.
jobAccountName(21), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: Arbitrary binary information which MAY be coded
-- character set data or encrypted data supplied by the
-- submitting user for use by accounting services to
-- allocate or categorize charges for services provided,
-- such as a customer account name.
--
-- NOTE: This attribute NEED NOT be printable characters.
serverAssignedJobName(22), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: Configuration 3 only: The human readable string
-- name of the job as assigned by the server that submitted
-- the job to the device that the agent in instrumenting
-- with this MIB.
--
-- NOTE - This attribute is intended for enabling a user to
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 40]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
-- find his/her job that a server submitted to a device
-- after the user submitted the job to the server when the
-- jmJobSubmissionID is not supported by the job submission
-- protocol.
jobName(23), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: The human readable string name of the job as
-- assigned by the submitting user to help the user
-- distinguish between his/her various jobs. This name does
-- not need to be unique.
--
-- This attribute is intended for enabling a user or the
-- user's application to convey a job name that MAY be
-- printed on a start sheet, returned in a query result, or
-- used in notification or logging messages.
--
-- In order to assist users to find their jobs for job
-- submission protocols that don't supply a
-- jmJobSubmissionID, the agent SHOULD maintain the jobName
-- attribute for the time specified by the
-- jmGeneralJobPersistence object, rather than the (shorter)
-- jmGeneralAttributePersistence object.
--
-- If this attribute is not specified when the job is
-- submitted, no job name is assumed, but implementation
-- specific defaults are allowed, such as the value of the
-- documentName attribute of the first document in the job
-- or the fileName attribute of the first document in the
-- job.
--
-- The jobName attribute is distinguished from the
-- jobComment attribute, in that the jobName attribute is
-- intended to permit the submitting user to distinguish
-- between different jobs that he/she has submitted. The
-- jobComment attribute is intended to be free form
-- additional information that a user might wish to use to
-- communicate with himself/herself, such as a reminder of
-- what to do with the results or to indicate a different
-- set of input parameters were tried in several different
-- job submissions.
jobServiceTypes(24), -- JmJobServiceTypesTC (pg 57)
-- INTEGER: Specifies the type(s) of service to which the
-- job has been submitted (print, fax, scan, etc.). The
-- service type is bit encoded with each job service type so
-- that more general and arbitrary services can be created,
-- such as services with more than one destination type, or
-- ones with only a source or only a destination. For
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 41]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
-- example, a job service might scan, faxOut, and print a
-- single job. In this case, three bits would be set in the
-- jobServiceTypes attribute, corresponding to the
-- hexadecimal values: 0x8 + 0x20 + 0x4, respectively,
-- yielding: 0x2C.
--
-- Whether this attribute is set from a job attribute
-- supplied by the job submission client or is set by the
-- recipient job submission server or device depends on the
-- job submission protocol. This attribute SHALL be
-- implemented if the server or device has other types in
-- addition to or instead of printing.
--
-- One of the purposes of this attribute is to permit a
-- requester to filter out jobs that are not of interest.
-- For example, a printer operator may only be interested in
-- jobs that include printing. That is why this attribute
-- is in the job identification category.
jobSourceChannelIndex(25), -- Integer32(0..2147483647)
-- INTEGER: The index of the row in the associated Printer
-- MIB[1] of the channel which is the source of the print
-- job.
--
-- NOTE - the Job Monitoring MIB points to the Channel row
-- in the Printer MIB[1], so there is no need for a port
-- attribute in the Job Monitoring MIB, since the PWG is
-- adding a prtChannelInformation object to the Channel
-- table of the draft Printer MIB.
jobSourcePlatformType(26), -- JmJobSourcePlatformTypeTC
-- (pg 27)
-- INTEGER: The source platform type of the immediate
-- upstream submitter that submitted the job to the server
-- (configuration 2) or device (configuration 1 and 3) that
-- the agent is instrumenting. For configuration 1, this is
-- the type of the client that submitted the job to the
-- device; for configuration 2, this is the type of the
-- client that submitted the job to the server; and for
-- configuration 3, this is the type of the server that
-- submitted the job to the device.
submittingServerName(27), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: For configuration 3 only: The administrative
-- name of the server that submitted the job to the device.

-- server or device.
jobOriginatingHost(29), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: The name of the client host (not the server host
-- name in configuration 3) that submitted the job to the
-- server or device.
deviceNameRequested(30), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: The administratively defined coded character set
-- name of the target device requested by the submitting
-- user. For configuration 1, its value corresponds to the
-- Printer MIB[1]: prtGeneralPrinterName object (added to
-- the draft Printer MIB) for printers. For configuration 2
-- and 3, its value is the name of the logical or physical
-- device that the user supplied to indicate to the server
-- on which device(s) they wanted the job to be processed.
queueNameRequested(31), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: The administratively defined coded character set
-- name of the target queue requested by the submitting
-- user. For configuration 1, its value corresponds to the
-- queue in the device that the agent is instrumenting. For
-- configuration 2 and 3, its value is the name of the queue
-- that the user supplied to indicate to the server on which
-- device(s) they wanted the job to be processed.
--
-- NOTE - typically an implementation SHOULD support either
-- the deviceNameRequested or queueNameRequested attribute,
-- but not both.
physicalDevice(32), -- hrDeviceIndex (see HR MIB)
-- AND/OR
-- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- INTEGER: MULTI-ROW: The index of the physical device
-- MIB instance requested/used, such as the Printer MIB[1].
-- This value is an hrDeviceIndex value. See the Host
-- Resources MIB[6].

-- be 1.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 43]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
fileName(34), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: MULTI-ROW: The coded character set file name of
-- the document.
--
-- There is no restriction on the same file name in multiple
-- rows.
documentName(35), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: MULTI-ROW: The coded character set name of the
-- document.
--
-- There is no restriction on the same document name in
-- multiple rows.
jobComment(36), -- OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
-- OCTETS: An arbitrary human-readable coded character text
-- string supplied by the submitting user or the job
-- submitting application program for any purpose. For
-- example, a user might indicate what he/she is going to do
-- with the printed output or the job submitting application
-- program might indicate how the document was produced.
--
-- The jobComment attribute is not intended to be a name;
-- see the jobName attribute.
documentFormatIndex(37), -- Integer32(0..2147483647)
-- INTEGER: MULTI-ROW: The index in the
-- prtInterpreterTable in the Printer MIB[1] of the page
-- description language (PDL) or control language
-- interpreter that this job requires/uses. A document or a
-- job MAY use more than one PDL or control language.
--
-- NOTE - As with all intensive attribute items where
-- multiple rows are allowed, there SHALL be only one
-- distinct row for each distinct interpreter; there SHALL
-- be no duplicates.
--
-- NOTE - This attribute type is intended to be used with an
-- agent that implements the Printer MIB and SHALL not be
-- used if the agent does not implement the Printer MIB.
-- Such an agent SHALL use the documentFormat attribute
-- instead.
documentFormat(38), -- PrtInterpreterLangFamilyTC

-- A higher value specifies a higher priority. The value 1
-- is defined to indicate the lowest possible priority (a
-- job which a priority-based scheduling algorithm SHALL
-- pass over in favor of higher priority jobs). The value
-- 100 is defined to indicate the highest possible priority.

Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
-- jmJobStateReasons1 object and SHALL not schedule the job
-- for processing until the specified date and time has

jobKOctetsTransferred(94), -- Integer32(-2..2147483647)
-- INTEGER: The number of K (1024) octets transferred to
-- the server or device that the agent is instrumenting.
-- This count is independent of the number of copies of the

--
-- The agent SHALL round the actual number of octets
-- transferred up to the next higher K. Thus 0 octets SHALL
-- be represented as 0, 1-1024 octets SHALL BE represented
-- as 1, 1025-2048 SHALL be 2, etc. When the job completes,

-- indicates the progress of the job for agents that do not
-- implement the jmJobKOctetsProcessed object.
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- Impression attributes
--
-- For a print job, an impression is the marking of the
-- entire side of a sheet. Two-sided processing involves two
-- impressions per sheet. Two-up is the placement of two
-- logical pages on one side of a sheet and so is still a
-- single impression. See also jmJobImpressionsRequested and

impressionsCompletedCurrentCopy(113), -- Integer32(-2..
-- 2147483647)
-- INTEGER: The number of impressions completed by the
-- device for the current copy of the current document so
-- far. For printing, the impressions completed includes
-- interpreting, marking, and stacking the output. For
-- other types of job services, the number of impressions
-- completed includes the number of impressions processed.
--
-- This value SHALL be reset to 0 for each document in the
-- job and for each document copy.
fullColorImpressionsCompleted(114), -- Integer32(-2..
-- 2147483647)
-- INTEGER: The number of full color impressions completed
-- by the device for this job so far. For printing, the

DESCRIPTION
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 54]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
"Specifies the type(s) of service to which the job has been
submitted (print, fax, scan, etc.). The service type is
represented as an enum that is bit encoded with each job service
type so that more general and arbitrary services can be created,
such as services with more than one destination type, or ones
with only a source or only a destination. For example, a job
service might scan, faxOut, and print a single job. In this
case, three bits would be set in the jobServiceTypes attribute,
corresponding to the hexadecimal values: 0x8 + 0x20 + 0x4,
respectively, yielding: 0x2C.
Whether this attribute is set from a job attribute supplied by
the job submission client or is set by the recipient job
submission server or device depends on the job submission
protocol. With either implementation, the agent SHALL return a
non-zero value for this attribute indicating the type of the
job.
One of the purposes of this attribute is to permit a requester
to filter out jobs that are not of interest. For example, a
printer operator MAY only be interested in jobs that include
printing. That is why the attribute is in the job
identification category.
The following service component types are defined (in
hexadecimal) and are assigned a separate bit value for use with
the jobServiceTypes attribute:
other 0x1
The job contains some document production instructions that are
not one of the identified types.
unknown 0x2
The job contains some document production instructions whose
type is unknown to the agent.
print 0x4
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify printing
scan 0x8
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify scanning
faxIn 0x10
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify receive fax
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 55]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
faxOut 0x20
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify sending fax
getFile 0x40
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify accessing files or documents
putFile 0x80
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify storing files or documents
mailList 0x100
The job contains some document production instructions that
specify distribution of documents using an electronic mail
system.
These bit definitions are the equivalent of a type 2 enum except
that combinations of them MAY be used together. See section 7.1.2
on page 22."

JmJobStateReasons1TC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This textual-convention is used with the jmJobStateReasons1
object to provides additional information regarding the
jmJobState object values.
The following standard values are defined (in hexadecimal) as
powers of two, since multiple values MAY be used at the same
time.
NOTE - The Job Monitoring MIB contains a superset of the IPP
values[3] for the IPP 'job-state-reasons' attribute, since the
Job Monitoring MIB is intended to cover other job submission
protocols as well. Also some of the names of the reasons have
been changed from 'printer' to 'device', since the Job
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 56]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
Monitoring MIB is intended to cover additional types of devices,
including input devices, such as scanners.
NOTE - For easy of understanding the order of the reasons is
presented in the order in which the reason is most likely to
occur.
other 0x1
The job state reason is not one of the standardized or
registered reasons.
unknown 0x2
The job state reason is not known to the agent or is
indeterminent.
jobIncoming 0x4
The job has been accepted by the server or device, but the
server or device is expected (1) additional operations to finish
creating the job and/or (2) is accessing/accepting document
data.
jobOutgoing 0x8
Configuration 2 only: The server is transmitting the job to the
device.
jobHoldSpecified 0x10
The value of the job's jobHold(52) attribute (see page 47) is
TRUE, either set when the job was created or subsequently by an
explicit modify job operation. The job SHALL NOT be a candidate
for processing until this reason is removed and there are no
other reasons to hold the job.
jobHoldUntilSpecified 0x20
The value of the job's jobHoldUntil(53) (see page 47) attribute
specifies a time period that is still in the future, either set
when the job was created or subsequently by an explicit modify
job operation. The job SHALL NOT be a candidate for processing
until this reason is removed and there are no other reasons to
hold the job.
jobProcessAfterSpecified 0x40
The value of the job's jobProcessAfterDateAndTime(51) (see page
46) attribute specifies a time that is still in the future,
either set when the job was created or subsequently by an
explicit modify job operation. The job SHALL NOT be a candidate
for processing until this reason is removed and there are no
other reasons to hold the job.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 57]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
resourcesAreNotReady 0x80
At least one of the resources needed by the job, such as media,
fonts, resource objects, etc., is not ready on any of the
physical devices for which the job is a candidate. This
condition MAY be detected when the job is accepted, or
subsequently while the job is pending or processing, depending
on implementation.
deviceStoppedPartly 0x100
One or more, but not all, of the devices to which the job is
assigned are stopped. If all of the devices are stopped (or the
only device is stopped), the deviceStopped reason SHALL be used.
deviceStopped 0x200
The device(s) to which the job is assigned is (are all) stopped.
jobPrinting 0x400
The output device is marking media. This attribute is useful for
servers and output devices which spend a great deal of time
processing when no marking is happening and then want to show
that marking is now happening.
jobCanceledByUser 0x800
The job was canceled by the user, i.e., by a user whose name is
the same as the value of the job's jobOwner attribute.
jobCanceledByOperator 0x1000
The job was canceled by the operator, i.e., by a user whose name
is different than the value of the job's jobOwner attribute.
abortedBySystem 0x2000
The job was aborted by the system. NOTE - this reason is needed
only when the job is not placed in the aborted job state.
jobCompletedSuccessfully 0x4000
The job completed successfully.
jobCompletedWithWarnings 0x8000
The job completed with warnings.
jobCompletedWithErrors 0x10000
The job completed with errors (and possibly warnings too).
The following additional job state reasons have been added to
represent job states that are in ISO DPA[2] and other job submission
protocols:
jobPaused 0x20000
The job has been indefinitely suspended by a client issuing an
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 58]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
operation to suspend the job so that other jobs may proceed
using the same devices. The client MAY issue an operation to
resume the paused job at any time, in which case the agent SHALL
remove the jobPaused values from the job's jmJobStateReasons1
object and the job is eventually resumed at or near the point
where the job was paused.
jobInterrupted 0x40000
The job has been interrupted while processing by a client
issuing an operation that specifies another job to be run
instead of the current job. The server or device will
automatically resume the interrupted job when the interrupting
job completes.
jobRetained 0x80000
The job is being retained by the server or device with all of
the job's document data (and submitted resources, such as fonts,
logos, and forms, if any). Thus a client could issue an
operation to resubmit the job (or a copy of the job). When a
client could no longer resubmit the job, such as after the
document data has been discarded, the agent SHALL remove the
jobRetained value from the jmJobStateReasons1 object.
These bit definitions are the equivalent of a type 2 enum except
that combinations of bits may be used together. See section 7.1.2
on page 22. The remaining bits are reserved for future
standardization and/or registration."

JmJobStateReasons2TC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This textual-convention is used with the jobStateReasons2
attribute to provides additional information regarding the
jmJobState object. See the description under
JmJobStateReasons1TC on page 59.
The following standard values are defined (in hexadecimal) as
powers of two, since multiple values may be used at the same
time:
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 59]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
cascaded 0x1
An outbound gateway has transmitted all of the job's job and
document attributes and data to another spooling system.
deletedByAdministrator 0x2
The administrator has deleted the job.
discardTimeArrived 0x4
The job has been deleted due to the fact that the time specified
by the job's job-discard-time has arrived.
postProcessingFailed 0x8
The post-processing agent failed while trying to log accounting
attributes for the job; therefore the job has been placed into
the completed state with the jobRetained jmJobStateReasons1
object value for a system-defined period of time, so the
administrator can examine it, resubmit it, etc.
submissionInterrupted 0x10
Indicates that the job was not completely submitted for the
following reasons: (1) the server has crashed before the job was
closed by the client, (2) the server or the document transfer
method has crashed in some non-recoverable way before the
document data was entirely transferred to the server, (3) the
client crashed or failed to close the job before the time-out
period. Whether the server or device puts the job into the
pendingHeld or aborted state depends on implementation.
maxJobFaultCountExceeded 0x20
The job has faulted several times and has exceeded the
administratively defined fault count limit.
devicesNeedAttentionTimeOut 0x40
One or more document transforms that the job is using needs
human intervention in order for the job to make progress, but
the human intervention did not occur within the site-settable
time-out value.
needsKeyOperatorTimeOut 0x80
One or more devices or document transforms that the job is using
need a specially trained operator (who may need a key to unlock
the device and gain access) in order for the job to make
progress, but the key operator intervention did not occur within
the site-settable time-out value.
jobStartWaitTimeOut 0x100
The server/device has stopped the job at the beginning of
processing to await human action, such as installing a special
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 60]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
cartridge or special non-standard media, but the job was not
resumed within the site-settable time-out value and the
server/device has transitioned the job to the pendingHeld state.
Normally, the job is resumed by means outside the job submission
protocol, such as some local function on the device.
jobEndWaitTimeOut 0x200
The server/device has stopped the job at the end of processing
to await human action, such as removing a special cartridge or
restoring standard media, but the job was not resumed within the
site-settable time-out value and the server/device has
transitioned the job to the completed state. Normally, the job
is resumed by means outside the job submission protocol, such as
some local function on the device, whereupon the job SHALL
transition immediately to the completed state.
jobPasswordWaitTimeOut 0x400
The server/device has stopped the job at the beginning of
processing to await input of the job's password, but the human
intervention did not occur within the site-settable time-out
value.
deviceTimedOut 0x800
A device that the job was using has not responded in a period
specified by the device's site-settable attribute.
connectingToDeviceTimeOut 0x1000
The server is attempting to connect to one or more devices which
may be dial-up, polled, or queued, and so may be busy with
traffic from other systems, but server was unable to connect to
the device within the site-settable time-out value.
transferring 0x2000
The job is being transferred to a down stream server or device.
queuedInDevice 0x4000
The job has been queued in a down stream server or device.
jobCleanup 0x8000
The server/device is performing cleanup activity as part of
ending normal processing.
processingToStopPoint 0x10000
The requester has issued an operation to interrupt the job and
the server/device is processing up until the specified stop
point occurs.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 61]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
jobPasswordWait 0x20000
The server/device has selected the job to be next to process,
but instead of assigning resources and started the job
processing, the server/device has transitioned the job to the
pendingHeld state to await entry of a password (and dispatched
another job, if there is one).
validating 0x40000
The server/device is validating the job after accepting the job.
queueHeld 0x80000
The operator has held the entire job set or queue.
jobProofWait 0x100000
The job has produced a single proof copy and is in the
pendingHeld state waiting for the requester to issue an
operation to release the job to print normally, obeying any job
and document copy attributes that were originally submitted.
heldForDiagnostics 0x200000
The system is running intrusive diagnostics, so that all jobs
are being held.
serviceOffLine 0x400000
The service/document transform is off-line and accepting no
jobs. All pending jobs are put into the pendingHeld state.
This could be true if its input is impaired or broken.
noSpaceOnServer 0x800000
There is no room on the server to store all of the job. For
example, there is no room for the document data.
pinRequired 0x1000000
The System Administrator settable device policy is (1) to
require PINs, and (2) to hold jobs that do not have a pin
supplied as an input parameter when the job was created. The
requester SHALL either (1) enter a pin locally at the device or
issue a remote operation supplying the PIN in order for the job
to be able to proceed.
exceededAccountLimit 0x2000000
The account for which this job is drawn has exceeded its limit.
This condition SHOULD be detected before the job is scheduled so
that the user does not wait until his/her job is scheduled only
to find that the account is overdrawn. This condition MAY also
occur while the job is processing either as processing begins or
part way through processing.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 62]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
An overdraft mechanism SHOULD be included to be user-friendly,
so as to minimize the chances that the job cannot finish or that
media is wasted. For example, the server/device SHOULD finish
the current copy for a job with collated document copies, rather
than stopping in the middle of the current document copy.
heldForRetry 0x4000000
The job encountered some errors that the server/device could not
recover from with its normal retry procedures, but the error is
worth trying the job later, such as phone number busy or remote
file system in-accessible. For such a situation, the
server/device SHALL transition the job from the processing to
the pendingHeld, rather than to the aborted state.
The following values are from the X/Open PSIS draft standard:
canceledByShutdown 0x8000000
The job was canceled because the server or device was shutdown
before completing the job. Whether the job is placed in the
pendingHeld or aborted state, depends on implementation.
deviceUnavailable 0x10000000
This job was aborted by the system because the device is
currently unable to accept jobs. Whether the job is placed in
the pendingHeld or aborted state, depends on implementation.
wrongDevice 0x20000000
This job was aborted by the system because the device is unable
to handle this particular job; the spooler SHOULD try another
device or the user should submit the job to another device.
Whether the job is placed in the pendingHeld or aborted state,
depends on implementation.
badJob 0x40000000
This job was aborted by the system because this job has a major
problem, such as an ill-formed PDL; the spooler SHOULD not even
try another device.

"The jmJobIndex of the newest job that is in one of the 'active'
states (pending, processing, or processingStopped). In other
words, the index of the 'active' job that has been most recently
added to the job tables.
When a new job is accepted by the server or device that the
agent is instrumenting, the agent SHALL assign the next

Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
available value to the job's jmJobIndex that is used for storing
job information in the jmJobIDTable, the jmJobTable, and the
jmAttributeTable. If the value would exceed the implementation-
defined maximum value for jmJobIndex, the agent SHALL set the
value back to 1, i.e., wrap around to the beginning of the job
tables.
It is recommended that the largest value for jmJobIndex be much
larger than the maximum number of jobs that the implementation
can contain at a single time, so as to minimize the pre-mature
re-use of jmJobIndex value for a newer job while clients retain
the same 'stale' value for an older job.
Each time a new job is accepted by the server or device that the
agent is instrumenting AND that job is to be 'active' (pending,
processing, or processingStopped, but not pendingHeld), the
agent SHALL copy the value of the job's jmJobIndex to the
jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex object. If the new job is 'in-
active' (pendingHeld state), the agent SHALL not change the
value of jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex object.
When all jobs become 'inactive', i.e., enter the pendingHeld,
completed, canceled, or aborted states, the agent SHALL set the
value of this object to 0. Whenever a job changes from 'in-
active' to 'active' (from pendingHeld to pending or processing),
the agent SHALL update the value of either the
jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex or the
jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex objects, or both, if the job's
jmJobIndex value is outside the range between
jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex and jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex.
When the server or device is power-cycled, the agent SHALL
remember the next jmJobIndex value to be assigned, so that new
jobs are not assigned the same jmJobIndex as recent jobs before
the power cycle.
NOTE - Applications that wish to efficiently access all of the
active jobs MAY use jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex value to start
with the oldest active job and continue until they reach the
index value equal to jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex, skipping
over any pendingHeld, completed, canceled, or aborted jobs that
might intervene.
If an application detects that the jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex
is smaller than jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex, the job index has
wrapped. In this case, when the application exceeds the maximum
job index (detected by a no such object status returned from a
GetNext operation for the next conceptual row), the application

MAX-ACCESS not-accessible

DESCRIPTION
"A quasi-unique 32-octet string ID which identifies the job
uniquely within a particular client-server environment. Either
the client or the server assigns the job submission ID for each
job. The monitoring application whether in the client or
running separately, uses the job submission ID to help the user
identify which jmJobIndex was assigned by the agent.
There are multiple formats for the jmJobSubmissionID. Each
format SHALL be registered using the procedures of a type 2
enum. See section entitled: 'IANA Registration of enums' on
page 22.
The value of jmJobSubmissionID SHOULD be one of the registered
format types. The first octet of the string SHALL indicate
which registered format is being used. The ASCII characters '0-
9', 'A-Z', and 'a-z' will be assigned in order giving 62
possible formats. The agent SHALL assign a string of registered
format (0) for any job without a Job Submission ID.
The format values registered so far are:
Format
Number Description
------ ------------
0 Set by the agent when neither the client nor the
server assigned a job submission ID.
1 octets 3-10: 8-decimal-digit random number
octets 11-32: last 22 bytes of the jobName attribute

octets 11-32: last 22 bytes of the client URL
.. to be registered according to procedures of a type 2
enum. See section 7.3 on page 23.
NOTE - the job submission id is only intended to be unique
between a limited set of clients for a limited duration of time,
namely, for the life time of the job in the context of the
server or device that is processing the job. Some of the
formats include something that is unique per client and a random
number so that the same job submitted by the same client will
have a different job submission id. For other formats, where
part of the id is guaranteed to be unique for each client, such
as the MAC address or URL, a sequential number SHOULD suffice
for each client (and may be easier for each client to manage).
Therefore, the length of the job submission id has been selected
to reduce the probability of collision to a very low number, but
is not intended to be an absolute guarantee of uniqueness.
None-the-less, collisions could occur, but without bad
consequences, since this MIB is intended to be used only for
monitoring jobs, not for controlling and managing them."

Job Monitoring MIB, V0.82 June 9, 1997
12. Appendix A - Instrumenting the Job Life Cycle
The job object has well-defined states and client operations that affect
the transition between the job states. Internal server and device
actions also affect the transitions of the job between the job states.
These states and transitions are referred to as the job's life cycle.
Not all implementations of job submission protocols have all of the
states of the job model specified here. The job model specified here is
intended to be a superset of most implementations. It is the purpose of
the agent to map the particular implementation's job life cycle onto the
one specified here. The agent MAY omit any states not implemented.
Only the processing, canceled, aborted, and completed states are
required to be implemented by an agent. However, a conforming
management application SHALL be prepared to accept any of the states in
the job life cycle specified here, so that the management application
can interoperate with any conforming agent.
The job states are intended to be the user visible. The agent SHALL
make these states visible in the MIB, but only for the subset of job
states that the implementation has. Implementations MAY need to have
sub-states of these user-visible states. Such implementation is not
specified in this model, is not supported by this Job Monitoring MIB,
and will vary from implementation to implementation. In some
implementations the jmJobStateReasons1 object and the jobStateReasonsn
(n=2..4) attributes MAY represent some or all of the sub-states of the
jobs.
One of the purposes of the job life cycle is to specify what is
invariant from implementation to implementation as far as the MIB
specification and the management application is concerned. Therefore,
job states are all intended to last a user-visible length of time in
most implementations. However, some jobs may pass through some states
in zero time in some situations and/or in some implementations.
The job model does not specify how accounting and auditing is
implemented, except to assume that accounting and auditing logs are
separate from the job life cycle and last longer than job entries in the
MIB. Jobs in the completed, aborted, or canceled states are not logs,
since jobs in these states are accessible via SNMP protocol operations
and SHALL be removed from the Job Monitoring MIB tables after a site-
settable or implementation-defined period of time. An accounting
application MAY copy accounting information incrementally to an
accounting logs as a job processes, or MAY be copied while the job is in
the canceled, aborted, or completed states, depending on implementation.
The same is true for auditing logs.

The jmJobState object specifies the standard job states. The normal job
state transitions are shown in the state transition diagram presented in
Table 1.
13. APPENDIX B - Support of the Job Submission ID in Job Submission
Protocols
This appendix lists the job submission protocols that support the
concept of a job submission ID and indicates the attribute in that
protocol.
13.1 Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language (PJL)
Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language provides job-level printer
control and printer status information to applications. The PJL JOB
command is used at the beginning of a print job and can include options
applying only to that job. A PJL JOB command option has been defined to
facilitate passing the JobSubmissionID with the print job, as required
by the Job Monitoring MIB. The option is of the form:
SUBMISSIONID = "id string"
Where the "id string" is a string and must be enclosed in double quotes.
The format is as described for the jmJobSubmissionID object.
The entire PJL JOB command with the optional parameter would be of the
form:
@PJL JOB SUBMISSIONID = "id string"
See "Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual", part number 5021-
0328, from Hewlett-Packard for complete information on the PJL JOB
command and the Printer Job Language.
