Editing the /etc/profile file

Infoprint Server commands, such as the pidu command, use environment variables set in the /etc/profile file. You must edit the /etc/profile file to set the required environment variables.

To edit the /etc/profile file:

1. On the z/OS® UNIX command line, switch to an effective UID of 0:

   su  

   To use the su command, you must be permitted to the BPX.SUPERUSER profile in the FACILITY class in RACF®.

2. Edit the /etc/profile file using your preferred editor and save your changes. For example:

   oedit /etc/profile

   If you installed Infoprint Server libraries in the default locations, add these statements to set the required environment variables:

   export LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/Printsrv/lib:$LIBPATH
   export NLSPATH=/usr/lpp/Printsrv/%L/%N:/usr/lpp/Printsrv/En_US/%N:$NLSPATH
   export PATH=/usr/lpp/Printsrv/bin:$PATH

   _______________________________________________________

3. Switch back to your own UID:

   exit
