On Linux for System z®, IBM® Content
Navigator needs access to a running
X Window System server to convert vector graphics to PDF and HTML
and for previewing vector graphics.
About this task
Examples of vector graphics files include CAD
drawings and presentation files, such as Microsoft PowerPoint files. Bitmap graphic
conversion does not require access to a running X Window System server.
Examples of bitmap file formats include GIF, JPEG, TIFF, and Windows BMP files.
To enable IBM Content
Navigator to convert documents
to PDF and HTML and to generate document previews, you must set the
DISPLAY environment variable on your web application server to an
X Window System server.
Procedure
To configure access to an X Window System server on WebSphere® Application
Server:
- Open the WebSphere Application
Server administrative
console.
- Go to and click the application server where you deployed IBM Content
Navigator. For example, select ecmclientserver1.
- In the Server Infrastructure section,
click and then click Environment
Entries.
- Change the value for the DISPLAY environment variable:
- If the DISPLAY environment variable does not exist, click New.
In the Name field, type DISPLAY.
In the Value field, enter the location of a
running X Window System server display. For example, enter X_Windows_server_host_name:0.0.
- If the DISPLAY environment variable exists, change value to
the location of a running X Window System server display. For example,
enter X_Windows_server_host_name:0.0.
