System Prerequisites

The following section describes system prerequisites necessary to use ACIF in the
AIX, OS/390, MVS, VM, and VSE environments.

AIX Prerequisites

Either one of the following AIX software products is required to use ACIF:

PSF for AIX Version 2.1 (program number 5765-505) with, minimally, the

psf.acif option installed. This version of PSF for AIX requires IBM AIX for RISC

System/6000 Version 3.2.5 (program number 5756-030) or higher.

Notes:

1. Installation of

only psf.acif will provide you with the ability to run the acif

command.

The formdef parameter is required for running ACIF. For AIX, see page 34.

For OS/390, MVS, VM, or VSE, see page 96. Though you may use form

definitions from other sources, the psf.acif install option provides a form

definition named F1ACIF. (See the description for form definition F1A10110

IBM Print Services Facility for AIX: Print Submission for details regarding

form definition F1ACIF.)

The pagedef parameter is required for running ACIF if the input file

contains S/370 line data, mixed-mode data, or unformatted ASCII data.

Though you may use page definitions from other sources, several page

definitions are provided with PSF for AIX. The PSF-supplied page

definitions are installed into the /usr/lpp/psf/reslib directory with the

psf.acif option. These page definitions are listed and described in

IBM

Print Services Facility for AIX: Print Submission.

2. In order to print and to use the other resources that are available for ACIF,

you must

also install psf.base.

InfoPrint Manager for AIX 3.1.0. This version of InfoPrint Manager requires AIX

version 4.2.1 and higher.

OS/390 or MVS Prerequisites

The following OS/390 or MVS software products are required to use ACIF:

MVS/ESA Version 5.2.0 or OS/390

PSF/MVS 2.2.0 or PSF/MVS 3.1.0 for OS/390.

VM Prerequisites

The following VM software products are required to use ACIF:

VM/SP 5 or above

VM/SP HPO 5 or above

VM/XA 1.2.1 or above

VM/ESA 1.1.0 or above

PSF/VM 2.1.0 (with PTF# UN37799 for printing files that contain indexing tags) or
PSF/VM 2.1.1
