Report Distribution Groups - GL293

unknown

Is anyone using Distribution Groups with GL?

I am IT System Admin and new to this system but am being requested by our GL Dept to understand how they can use the 'Distribution Groups' on their print jobs.

I can find the information to set them up from the LSF Sys Admin guide, but I don't understand enough on the benefits of them using these.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you.

We use it more on automated (recdef) jobs and reports than anything. It's an easy way to automatically distribute the print files to multiple users' print managers. In our v901 version, we don't have the 'old' "send to user" functionality in print manager. v10 brought back the "distribute to user" and "distribute to group" functionality in print manager. The group can also be set up on a job, by a user, so that every time a user runs the job, it is sent to the group's print managers. It's not earth-shattering functionality, but it can be useful.
