Setting environment variables for Transform Interface
These environment variables affect the behavior of Transform Interface. Set these environment variables only if you do not create the transform configuration files in the default locations.
If you set these environment variables, set them in both of these
locations:
- aopstart EXEC
or the aopdemon environment
variables file
: Transform Interface uses environment variables
that are specified in this file. For information about how to edit
this file, see Editing the aopstart EXEC or Creating an environment variables file (envar). - /etc/profile file: z/OS® UNIX transform commands, such as ps2afp and remotexf, use environment variables that are specified in this file.
- AOPRXF_CONF
- The
full path name of the remote transform configuration file, aoprxf.conf.
This environment variable is optional. If you did not create this
configuration file, or if you created it in the default location,
you do not need to set it. Default: /etc/Printsrv/aoprxf.conf
- AOPXFD_CONF
- The
full path name of the transform configuration file, aopxfd.conf.
This environment variable is optional. If you did not create this
configuration file, or if you created it in the default location,
you do not need to set it. Default: /etc/Printsrv/aopxfd.conf
Transform Interface also uses the LANG, LIBPATH, MANPATH, NLSPATH, and PATH environment variables.
Examples: To specify a non-default location
for the configuration files:
- Change these lines in the aopstart EXEC:
n=n+1; env.n='AOPRXF_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aoprxf.conf' n=n+1; env.n='AOPXFD_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aopxfd.conf'Tip: After you edit the aopstart EXEC, stop and restart all Infoprint Server daemons. For example, enter these MVS™ commands to run the AOPSTOP and AOPSTART JCL procedures:START AOPSTOP START AOPSTART
Change these lines in the envar file: AOPRXF_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aoprxf.conf, AOPXFD_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aopxfd.confTips:- If you use the AOPDEMON JCL procedure, define the envar file on the VARFILE statement and assign UID 0 to the task.
- After you edit the envar file, stop and restart
all Infoprint Server
daemons. For example, enter these MVS commands
to run the AOPSTOP2 and the AOPDEMON or AOPSTAR2 JCL procedures:
START AOPSTOP2 START AOPDEMON or START AOPSTAR2

- Add these statements to the /etc/profile file:
directory is the absolute directory path that contains the configuration file.export AOPRXF_CONF=/directory/aoprxf.conf export AOPXFD_CONF=/directory/aopxfd.conf
