After you have installed OS/400 - Additional Fonts (5722SS1, Option 43) on the i5/OS system, an HTML rendering server (Xserver virtual frame buffer server) is present. Follow the instructions in this section to select a display number for the HTML rendering server:

  1. If the QShell Interpreter is running, stop it by typing the following on an OS/400 command line:

    QSH

    Press F3

    Start the OS/400 Portable Application Solutions Environment (OS/400 PASE) console by typing the following on an OS/400 command line:

    CALL QP2TERM

  2. 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

  3. Select any number from 1 to 99 that is not in use.

  4. Start the HTML rendering server by typing the following command on one OS/400 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.

  5. 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 the display number is in the list.

  6. Now go to this topic to associate this HTML rendering server with WebSphere Portal.
