Customized content

Portions of the iSeries™ Access for Web content are retrieved from static HTML files. A style sheet is also used to control aspects of the product's appearance. User-supplied files can be used in place of the default implementations. There are several considerations for creating these user-supplied files.

Considerations:

The default files in /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/html can be used as a starting point, but they should not be modified directly. These files reside in the product directory which is only meant for product files.
If the default files are used as a starting point, they should be copied to the /QIBM/UserData/Access/Web2 tree or to another location in the iSeries integrated file system. Modifications can then be made to the copy of the files.
Localized versions of the default files can be found in subdirectories under /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/html. The subdirectories are named using ISO Language Codes and ISO Country Codes. These codes are lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639 and ISO-3166.
*PUBLIC, QEJBSVR (for WebSphere^®), or QTMHHTTP (for ASF Tomcat) must have at least *RX authority to the user-supplied HTML files and to any files they reference. This authority is also required for the directories containing the files.
If the user-supplied HTML file contains image, style sheet, or other external references with absolute paths, the HTTP server must be configured to serve the files. If the external references contain paths relative to the path containing the user-supplied HTML file, no HTTP server configuration is needed.
Image files should not be placed in the /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/html/images directory. This directory is meant for product image files only.
