Follow these steps to configure document conversion technology
on an IBM® i server. A separate
remote IBM Sametime® Meeting Server
can be deployed specifically for document conversion and can run on
Microsoft Windows™ or any
other supported operating system.
Before you begin
The following products must be installed in order to run conversion
services on IBM i:
- Portable Application Solutions Environment (PASE), 5722SS1, 5761SS1,
or 5770SS1, option 33
- OS/400® - Additional Fonts,
5722SS1, 5761SS1, or 5770SS1, option 43
Procedure
Make the following changes on the Sametime Meeting Server
that you installed with the Document Conversion configuration role.
- The number set in the DISPLAY environment variable must
match the number used in the command to start the XVFB server in the
next step.
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(DISPLAY) VALUE('localhost:10') LEVEL(*SYS) REPLACE(*YES)
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(LIBPATH) VALUE('/qibm/proddata/websphere/appserver/
STMeetingsServer/stellent') LEVEL(*SYS) REPLACE(*YES)
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(PATH) VALUE('/usr/bin:.:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/qibm/proddata/
websphere/appserver/STMeetingsServer/stellent') LEVEL(*SYS) REPLACE(*YES)
- The X Virtual Frame Buffer is used in the file conversion
process. It must be running for file conversions to take place. From
an IBM i command line, run the
following command.
This example was formatted for readability;
you must enter the command as a single line.
QSYS/SBMJOB CMD(QSYS/CALL PGM(QSYS/QP2SHELL)
PARM('/usr/bin/X11/X' '-vfb' ':10' '-d' '24'))
USER(QEJBSVR) JOB(QSTXVFB10) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX)
This
command starts the XVFB on DISPLAY :10
Note: To check
whether the XVFB server is running, use this command: WRKACTJOB JOB(QSTXVFB*).
The
environment variables must be set when the Sametime Meeting Server
starts. The XVFB server must be running for file conversions to occur.
If the Sametime Meeting
Server was already running during this setup, then the Sametime Meeting Server
must be restarted before files will be converted.
