Using Document Conversion Services with Stellent
For Linux and Solaris, when using Stellent version 8.1.0 and later, the X-server dependency has been removed.
About this task
Procedure
What to do next
Remote document conversion: Local document conversion might not be supported on some platforms. Document conversion must be performed on a remote IBM® WebSphere® Application Server that supports document conversion services.
On the zLinux platform, local document conversion is supported except in the case of image export. During image export, the pages of a document are converted into images, such as the GIF format. If you want to use image export as part of document conversion services on zLinux, you must run document conversion on a remote server.
On platforms that support local document conversion, document conversion services can be delegated to a remote server to better balance processing power and manage server performance.
IBM i: You can choose to run the X Server on the portal server or a remote server. You can also use a frame-buffer device or XVFB to emulate X Windows servers on a headless server. The conversion filters are installed with WebSphere Portal. There is no need for configuration. However, you can configure the export.cfg file, located under the wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config directory, if you want to fine tune conversion properties such as graphics size and resolution.
