Render documents on IBM i
To enable document preview functionality for IBMWeb Content Manager and the Common Mail portlet, set up an HTML rendering server to work with WebSphere Portal. Because IBM i does not contain native graphics support, install additional fonts 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. The additional fonts include an HTML rendering server known as X virtual frame buffer for the X server.
Before you begin, have:
A WebSphere Portal profile running on IBM i system; record the name of WebSphere Portal profile for future reference.
Perform the following tasks on each WebSphere Portal node to render documents on IBM i: The HTML rendering server (X virtual frame buffer for X server) that you associate with WebSphere Portal profile should only be used for WebSphere Portal. Using the HTML rendering server with other applications may cause problems.OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) or OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5761SS1, Option 43) installed.
1. Configure an HTML rendering server on IBM i
After you have installed OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43), which is for Version 5R4, or OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5761SS1, Option 43), which is for v6.1, on IBM i system, an HTML rendering server (X virtual frame buffer for X server) is present. You must select a display number for the HTML rendering server.
2. Associate an HTML rendering server with WebSphere Portal on IBM i
After selecting a display number for the HTML rendering server (X virtual frame buffer for X server), associate this server with the installed IBM WebSphere Portal profile.
