When NDPS is initially installed, the three network services provided by the NDPS Broker are automatically enabled on the Broker object. As your printing needs grow or change and you add additional Brokers to your network, you might want to disable certain services provided through a Broker on a specific server and allow them to be provided through a different Broker (to save disk space on the first server, for example), or you might want to enable services on a Broker that are currently disabled. This procedure explains how these tasks are performed.
In NetWare Administrator, select the Broker object you want to work with.
Click the button for the service you want to enable or disable.
At the Service Status line, select either Enable or Disable.
The service is now either enabled or disabled. If disabled, services will need to be provided by a different Broker.
Printer Agents using the services that were disabled will automatically search for another Broker on the network that will provide these services, so normally these printers should continue to be available for processing jobs.
However, if you want to specify a preferred Broker for a Printer Agent to use for these services, you must do this from each NDPS printer's Printer Control page in NetWare Administrator by selecting Features/Services.
If a Broker is unloaded and then is brought back up, Printer Agents that have designated that Broker as their preferred service provider will not be automatically reconnected to it. In order to reconnect to the preferred service provider, you must either unload each Printer Agent and bring it back up, or unload the NDPS Manager that controls the affected Printer Agents and bring it back up, thus bringing up all the Printer Agents with it.
If the Resource Management Service cannot be enabled, check for one of the following problems:
