To make document conversion possible, have OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) running on the i5/OS system. This option includes an HTML rendering server known as Xserver virtual frame buffer server.

In order to enable the Document Manager functionality of IBM ® WebSphere Portal on IBM i5/OS, set up an HTML rendering server to work with WebSphere Portal. Because i5/OS does not contain native graphics support, install OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) to perform the document conversion required by these functions. Document conversion enables WebSphere Portal to convert documents produced by commonly used office programs into Web pages, so that they can be viewed and searched by users online. For more information on Document Manager refer to Manage documents. Prerequisite installations:

  • WebSphere Portal

    Write down the name of the WebSphere Portal profile.

  • OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43)

Once you have OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) running on your i5/OS system, follow these instructions for Configuring an HTML rendering server on i5/OS.

The HTML rendering server (Xserver virtual frame buffer server) that you associate with the WebSphere Portal profile should only be used for WebSphere Portal. Using the HTML rendering server with other applications may cause problems.
