Customization tasks for the XML transforms The system administrator can customize the XML transforms as standalone transforms or as transforms managed by InfoPrint Manager. If you have InfoPrint Manager installed, InfoPrint recommends you use it to manage the XML transforms. This section details the common, standalone, and InfoPrint Manager customization tasks the administrator must do before the job submitter can run the XML transforms. The administrator does the common customization tasks and either the standalone or InfoPrint Manager customization tasks, depending on whether the XML transforms are run as a standalone transform or managed by InfoPrint Manager. Common customization tasks The common customization tasks you do depend on whether you are using the XML to AFP transform or the XML to PDF transform. Tasks for using the XML to AFP transform: The sample xml2afp configuration file is provided in /usr/lpp/psf/xml2afp/xml2afp.cfg. These items are set in the file and can be modified: 1. The default location of the AFP fonts. 2. The default paper size. Additionally, defaults for all the xml2afp options can be set in the configuration file. The syntax of the configuration file is exactly the same as the command line syntax with these additional rules: 1. Blank lines are ignored. 2. All data on a line after a pound sign is ignored. The pound sign can occur anywhere on a line. 3. To include a pound sign in parameter data, it must be escaped; that is, it must be preceded by a backwards slash. 4. White space before and after parameter data is removed. 5. Parameter data on successive lines is concatenated with a single space between them. 6. Parameters can span lines as long as they follow rules 1 through 5. Customizing the xml2afp.cfg file: You can either create a new configuration file or modify the sample that is provided: 1. Create a new xml2afp configuration file, xml2afp.cfg, which lets you configure the xmp2afp transform. To create the file on AIX, copy the sample configuration file, /usr/lpp/xml2afp/samples/xml2afp.cfg to /etc/xml2afp.cfg: cp /usr/lpp/xml2afp/samples/xml2afp.cfg /etc/xml2afp.cfg Note: If you want to modify the sample configuration file, you still need to copy it. 2. Edit the file using your preferred editor, such as vi or notepad. a. On the FONTLIB keyword, specify the location of the AFP font libraries to be used by the xml2afp transform.
