Installing the SAP Client when SAP runs on AIX

To allow SAP to issue the InfoPrint Manager commands, you must install the InfoPrint Manager SAP client on every SAP server where an SAP application server will issue the commands. This includes every application server with an SWP managing R/3 devices that have been configured to use access method L for sending jobs to InfoPrint Manager. If you have configured your SAP R/3 system to use alternate servers, you must repeat these installation tasks on the alternate servers as well.

To install the SAP client for AIX on your SAP application servers, use this procedure:

  1. Log into the AIX system as root.
  2. Insert the InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM, LCD4-5642 into the DVD-ROM reader.
  3. Open a terminal window.

    If you are using the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you can open a terminal window by clicking on the terminal icon contained in the front panel. (The front panel is the task bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.) By default, the terminal icon is contained in a pop-up menu above the text editor icon that appears on the front panel.

  4. The first time you run the Installer, follow this procedure:
    1. Type this on the command line:
      smit cdrfs
    2. Select Add a CDROM File System from the list of choices presented.
