iPDF Server is split mainly into four parts:
Defining Archives on your iSeries/AS400
Transferring spoolfiles to the server archive
Using spoolfile archive history
Viewing spoolfiles on your server of PC
Defining Archives.
Archives are defined on your iSeries/AS400. They are actually stores on the server. You can setup PDF archives using the command WRKPDFAR. Information stored for each archive includes a description, IP address, path, network user, network password, and index settings. A test function can be used to make sure connections and transfer will work correctly.
Transferring Spoolfiles.
This is done through one command (TFRSPLF) for batch and interactive conversion and transferring of spoolfiles. In batch mode you can transfer all spoolfiles in one or more output queues to an IP address. The archive number is specified and the default IP address, path, network user, network password, and index settings can be retrieved for that archive.
Viewing Spoolfile Archive History on the iSeries/AS400
Using the command WRKPDFHST you can view the log of spoolfile saves. A particular spoolfile can be located, along with information about the transfer, such as the archive, IP address, and save date and time. The command WRKPDFOPS shows details of transfer operations.
Viewing spoolfiles on your server or PC.
Use Internet Explorer (or another web browser) to view your report archive. Each archive can have 4 indices, - user, output queue, save operation and report date and time. Version 2.0 of iPDF Server will have advanced indexing based on report contents.
Spoolfiles are viewed in PDF format, and can be emailed to other users. The user will require little of no training to use the familiar Windows functions.
