mkdir /var/psf/pdf2afp;chmod 777 /var/psf/pdf2afp
2. Create working directories for each of the new PDF RIPS:
mkdir /var/psf/pdf2afp/1;chmod 777 /var/psf/pdf2afp/1
mkdir /var/psf/pdf2afp/2;chmod 777 /var/psf/pdf2afp/2
mkdir /var/psf/pdf2afp/3;chmod 777 /var/psf/pdf2afp/3
mkdir /var/psf/pdf2afp/4;chmod 777 /var/psf/pdf2afp/4
3. Install new configuration files for each of these RIPS:
v /var/psf/pdf2afp/8261.cfg
v
/var/psf/pdf2afp/8262.cfg
v /var/psf/pdf2afp/8263.cfg
v
/var/psf/pdf2afp/8264.cfg
Note that for each new configuration file, you must change the port ,
work_directory , and log_file values. These three parameters are highlighted in
Figure 17 on page 178 so you can see the directory structure recommended for
this configuration.
4. From either the command line or the ps2afpd.cfg file, start daemons for each
configuration file:
ps2afpd -C /var/psf/pdf2afp/8261.cfg
ps2afpd -C /var/psf/pdf2afp/8262.cfg
ps2afpd -C /var/psf/pdf2afp/8263.cfg
ps2afpd -C /var/psf/pdf2afp/8264.cfg
Note:
In the path where the working directories reside, you can create a
startcfg script similar to this example to do this task:
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/psf/ps2afp
if [$# -gt 0 ]
then
for i in $*
do
/usr/lpp/psf/bin/ps2afpd -C 826$i.cfg
done
else
for i in 1 2 3 4
do
/usr/lpp/psf/bin/ps2afpd -C 826$i.cfg
done
fi
5.
To make sure that the pdfprs command is linked to the pdf2afp command, you
must enter these commands:
a. Access the correct directory by specifying:
cd /usr/lpp/psf/bin
b. Create the necessary logical link to submit jobs to the PDF parallel RIP by
specifying:
ln -sf pdfprs pdf2afp
Note: If you need to restore the old pdf2afp client, you can specify this from
an AIX command line:
ln -sf ps2afp pdf2afp
.
This configuration will automatically invoke four RIPs and generally run faster
than the standard PDF transform.
