Installing the SAP Print Feature on the InfoPrint Manager server

To run an InfoPrint Manager for AIX SAP callback daemon, InfoPrint Manager for Linux SAP callback daemon, or an InfoPrint Manager for Windows SAP callback process, you must install the SAP Print Feature on at least one of your InfoPrint servers, if you have not already done so.

If you are printing either Output Text Format (OTF) or Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) data, make sure that you have installed the sap2afp transform and the fonts necessary for printing. To install the transform, you must install the SAP Print Feature on each InfoPrint Manager AIX server, InfoPrint Manager for Linux server, or InfoPrint Manager Windows server with actual destinations that will be transforming data.

    Note:
  • If your SAP Server runs in IPv6 mode, in order for the SAP Callback Daemon to work, you must set the environment variable SAP_IPv6_ACTIVE with the value 1, both on the SAP Server machine and also on the InfoPrint Manager server machine. In this case, the InfoPrint Manager server must also run on a machine that is IPv6 enabled.
  • At a minimum, on every AIX or Linux system on which you will be running the SAP (sap2afp) transform (on your InfoPrint Manager servers), you must have the ICU (InfoPrint Manager UCONV) fileset or package installed.
