Finding the transform stderr file
If problems are encountered during program operation, the transforms produce error messages. The messages that indicate problems with the transforms or with transform configuration are directed to the system administrator. Some transforms write these messages to the transform's stderr file.
You can find a transform's stderr file in the directory that is named base-directory/xfd, where base-directory is determined by the value of the base-directory attribute in the Infoprint Server configuration file (aopd.conf). The default base directory is named /var/Printsrv.
transform[_class].#.stderr- transform
- Specifies the transform name, which is defined in the Infoprint Server Transform Manager configuration file, aopxfd.conf. For example, afpxpcl or pcl2afp.
- class
- Specifies the transform class, which is specified in the -c option when the transform is called. Transform classes are defined in the Infoprint Server Transform Manager configuration file, aopxfd.conf.
- #
- A unique number that the transform assigns. This number is incremented each time a new transform is started.
The transforms from AFP let you redirect stderr output with the -F transform option. For information about the -F option, see IBM Print Transforms from AFP for Infoprint Server for z/OS.
