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 EXECStart of change or the aopdemon environment variables fileEnd of change: 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:
  1. 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
  2. Start of changeChange these lines in the envar file:
    AOPRXF_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aoprxf.conf,
    AOPXFD_CONF=/etc/Printsrv/aopxfd.conf
    Tips:
    1. If you use the AOPDEMON JCL procedure, define the envar file on the VARFILE statement and assign UID 0 to the task.
    2. 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
    End of change
  3. Add these statements to the /etc/profile file:
    export AOPRXF_CONF=/directory/aoprxf.conf
    export AOPXFD_CONF=/directory/aopxfd.conf
    directory is the absolute directory path that contains the configuration file.
