Configure an HTML rendering server on i5/OS
After you have installed OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) on your i5/OS system, an HTML rendering server (X virtual frame buffer for X server) is present. Follow the instructions in this section to select a display number for the HTML rendering server.
- If the QShell Interpreter is running, stop it by typing the following on an i5/OS command line:
QSH
Press F3
- Start the OS/400 Portable Application Solutions Environment (OS/400 PASE) console by typing the following on an i5/OS command line:
CALL QP2TERM
- Type the following command to list all active HTML rendering servers:
ps gaxuw | grep Xvnc ; ps gaxuw | grep vfb
If other rendering servers are already active, you may see output such as this (the number following the colon is the display number already in use):
v2kea554 40571 0.0 0.0 12484 0 - A Jul 13 4:08
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/vnc/Xvnc :6 -desktop X -httpd - Select any number from 1 to 99 that is not in use.
- Start the HTML rendering server by typing the following command on one i5/OS command line:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/usr/bin/X11/X' '-vfb' ':N')) JOB(XVFB) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)where N is the display number. - Verify that the HTML rendering server is started by repeating the prior steps to start PASE and list the active servers, confirming that an HTML rendering server with your display number is in the list.
- Now go to this topic to associate this HTML rendering server with WebSphere Portal Express.
