Procedure
Example
- Windows: c:\temp
- Linux: /tmp Note: The default Unix /tmp directory is located in the root system and needs to be created if it does not exist.
- IBM i: /temp
<global>
<property name="tempDir" value="yourtempDirectory"/>
</global>
What to do next
- application/msword doc
- application/vnd.ms-excel xls
For Unix systems, you must launch IBM Workplace Services Express® from the console or an X-Server-enabled client with the same privileges (xhost+) as the console.
Note: On Unix servers, graphical conversions require access to an X Windows server, since they require access to the Xm, Xt and X11 libraries. Also the DISPLAY environment variable must be set to the account that Portal is running under. The DISPLAY must be valid at the point that Portal is started. Therefore, telneting to a machine and starting Portal from there does not work. You must start the portal from an X terminal.
For AIX® and IBM i, refer to the prerequisites as described in Configuring images for Document Conversion Services.
