Re: Infoprint Designer and Server

I've used the Server a little - it is nicely integrated into iSeries Access 
for the Web and into iSeries Navigator. Of course, the former needs either 
Websphere App Server or Tomcat. In both cases, you need to set up, I 
forget, an appropriate DEVD and/or OUTQ.

From the iSeries, setting IP Server up to "print" to PDFs is easy enough, 
as suggested. But it puts the resulting PDFs into a default location that's 
buried kinda deep in the IFS. It's documented. But if you want to control 
where it goes, and have more control, there's a kind of exit program. Once 
set up, it's probably fine, but that is the rub - you have to do some 
development.

But it really does email, it really does PDFs, so I think it's a pretty 
good alternative.

Haven't tried the Designer.
