607.0. "Need PCM Training/Overview Documentation" by LOCH::KNAUER () Wed Feb 08 1995 16:40

    I am working on a Console Manager implementation project at a large
    customer.  Part of the consulting contract includes developing and
    delivering to the operations staff and I.S. management a few hours of
    customized training including PCM overview, etc.
    
    It would save me a nice chunk of time if such slides and/or other
    documentation already exists.  It should be more in depth than
    marketing information but less than technical internals.  I won't be
    training the people who will be supporting PCM, but I will be training
    the everyday users and their management.
    
    Any pointers would be GREATLY appreciated A.S.A.P.
    
    Thanks in advance,

607.1Look hereZENDIA::DBIGELOWInnovate, Integrate, EvaporateWed Feb 08 1995 18:009
    Mike,
    
        There is a set of PowerPoint slides in OPG::CM$DOCS. These are for
    version 1.1 but nothing in the slides are still relevent. If you
    have a PC with Powerpoint, you can use this to customize your
    presentation. If you make any additional slides, please make them
    publically available for others to use.

607.2Thanks for the pointer!LOCH::KNAUERWed Feb 08 1995 21:596
    Dave,
    
    Thanks so much for the pointer; I'll pull off the .ppt files and take a
    look.  If I add anything, I'll let you know.
    
    Regards, Mike
607.3Follow-up question on Training...LOCH::KNAUERMon Feb 13 1995 16:118
    Is there a Digital Learning Services course on Console Manager?  I
    looked in the most recent Learning Services "Digest" magazine and
    didn't see anything listed.  I figured if there is a formal course,
    the documentation from it would be a great source to borrow from.
    
    Please advise.  Thanks in advance!

I am afraid not!!!

Get LS to set one up ( there was a customer course once for VCS which I gather
was fairly popular).

Cheers Simon...

    We have given several PCM seminars here at the CSC. If we put on any
    more you'd be welcome to attend. There is no tuition charge.

607.6Massive Frustration -- need help!!!LOCH::KNAUERTue Feb 14 1995 19:4315
    Your opg::cm$docs:*.ppt presentations look great on the screen on my
    laptop; however, I can't get them to print out landscape!!!  When I
    tried to print a couple pages at home it was just fine.  However, here
    at work, I'm trying to print to a postscript file and then print the
    file to a scriptprinter.  I specify landscape in slide_setup; I specify
    landscape in print_setup; and I specify
    /param=page_orientation=landscape when I print the file to a queue. 
    NONE of this has any effect!!!  It still prints out portrait, which
    means I lose the right 1/3 of each slide.
    
    Any suggestions????
    
    Frustrated and on deadline in Burlington,
    
    Mike
607.7Mystery solved!LOCH::KNAUERTue Feb 14 1995 21:078
    cowpok::powerpnt note 30.* has a discussion of this problem --
    apparently a Digital driver bug!  Anyway, the workaround described
    there seems to work -- namely not printing to encapsulated postscript,
    but printing to a printer connected to FILE instead!
    
    Now I can use those very good presentations!
