Customization tasks for the XML transforms
The system administrator can customize the XML transforms as standalone
transforms or as transforms managed by InfoPrint Manager. If you have InfoPrint
Manager installed, InfoPrint recommends you use it to manage the XML
transforms.
This section details the common, standalone, and InfoPrint Manager customization
tasks the administrator must do before the job submitter can run the XML
transforms. The administrator does the common customization tasks and either the
standalone or InfoPrint Manager customization tasks, depending on whether the
XML transforms are run as a standalone transform or managed by InfoPrint
Manager.
Common customization tasks
The common customization tasks you do depend on whether you are using the
XML to AFP transform or the XML to PDF transform.
Tasks for using the XML to AFP transform: The sample xml2afp configuration
file is provided in
/usr/lpp/psf/xml2afp/xml2afp.cfg
. These items are set in the
file and can be modified:
1. The default location of the AFP fonts.
2. The default paper size.
Additionally, defaults for all the xml2afp options can be set in the configuration
file.
The syntax of the configuration file is exactly the same as the command line syntax
with these additional rules:
1.
Blank lines are ignored.
2. All data on a line after a pound sign is ignored. The pound sign can occur
anywhere on a line.
3. To include a pound sign in parameter data, it must be escaped; that is, it must
be preceded by a backwards slash.
4. White space before and after parameter data is removed.
5. Parameter data on successive lines is concatenated with a single space between
them.
6.
Parameters can span lines as long as they follow rules 1 through 5.
Customizing the xml2afp.cfg file:
You can either create a new configuration file or modify the sample that is
provided:
1. Create a new xml2afp configuration file, xml2afp.cfg , which lets you configure
the xmp2afp transform.
To create the file on AIX, copy the sample configuration file,
/usr/lpp/xml2afp/samples/xml2afp.cfg to /etc/xml2afp.cfg :
cp /usr/lpp/xml2afp/samples/xml2afp.cfg /etc/xml2afp.cfg
Note:
If you want to modify the sample configuration file, you still need to
copy it.
2. Edit the file using your preferred editor, such as vi or notepad .
a.
On the FONTLIB keyword, specify the location of the AFP font libraries to
be used by the
xml2afp transform. For example,
