Installing clients on other AIX systems

This section contains a brief description of the command line procedure required for installing the AIX InfoPrint client, the Notification client, and the SAP clients on AIX servers that are not running InfoPrint Manager, but need to communicate with an InfoPrint AIX server.

Note: For each of these commands to run successfully, you must first mount the InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM, LCD4-5642, on to your AIX server.

To install both the AIX client and the Notification client on a non-InfoPrint AIX server, enter this command: 

/cdrom/setup -c -n server_name -p port_number
Where server_name is the hostname or IP address of the InfoPrint Manager server system with which this AIX client system will communicate. Where port_number is the port that the server will be using for InfoPrint communication. Optionally, you can use the -P flag to specify a default logical destination for job submission, and the -L flag to indicate a language preference for InfoPrint messages.

For more information, see Using the InfoPrint Manager AIX client.

To install only the Notification client on a non-InfoPrint AIX server, enter this command: 

/cdrom/setup -y -n server_name
For a complete description of the installation process, see Using the InfoPrint Manager AIX client.

To install the SAP clients on a non-InfoPrint AIX server, enter this command: 

/cdrom/setup -x

For a complete description of the SAP client installation process, see SAP R/3 Planning and Configuration Guide.
