Installing the InfoPrint Manager OMS support when SAP runs on Windows

To allow SAP on Windows 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 the InfoPrint Manager OMS. 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 InfoPrint Manager SAP Client for Windows on your Windows SAP system, use this procedure:

1. Log in as the Administrator user.
2. Insert the InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM, LCD4-5642 into your DVD-ROM drive.
3. From the InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients window, click Install InfoPrint Manager Products.
4. Click InfoPrint Manager SAP Clients.
5. Select a location for installing the clients (the default is install_path \Infoprint Manager SAP Clients\).
6. From the IPM Server Settings pop-up dialog, specify either the fully qualified host name or the IP address of the InfoPrint Manager server to which you will be sending jobs. The IPM Hostname field defaults to showing the loop back address and must be changed.

   The IPM Server Port Number field defaults to 6874, which you do not need to change.

   For another way to specify or change the InfoPrint Manager host and socket information to point to another InfoPrint Manager system or server, see . You can also provide a failover connection to another InfoPrint Manager server in the same InfoPrint Manager system (see Failing over to other servers in the same InfoPrint Manager system ) and how to send jobs to more than one InfoPrint Manager system at the same time (see Supporting multiple InfoPrint Manager systems).

   Note:
   • When the User Account Control (UAC) Windows system setting is active, you can change the SAP Client configuration settings only when running as Admnistrator. To use this option, start the InfoPrint Select SAP Clients application by right clicking on the icon and selecting "Run as Administrator". The Local Security Policy settings could influence the permission to update the configuration settings. For more information consult the UAC and Local Security Policy Windows documentation.
   • Enable the IPM LDAP Mode if you are using the InfoPrint Manager Pull Print feature with your InfoPrint Manager server. For more information, see Enabling LDAP mode.
   • Do not check the IPM Debug Mode checkbox unless instructed to do so by technical support.
   • Remove the check in the IPM GOCA Support checkbox only if you want to turn off GOCA support in the SAP transform.

     By default, the SAP client requests Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) support. GOCA is an AFP data architecture used to represent pictures generated by computer. If your installation uses older printers (for example, 3900 printers instead of InfoPrint 4000 printers), the GOCA support can cause the printers to print at less than rated speed. If your applications do not require GOCA support features, such as box shading, you might want to improve performance by turning off the GOCA support. For instructions on turning off this support after installing the SAP Client, see Adding box shading values to printed output.

   Once you have set the appropriate values, click OK to close this dialog.

7. When the SAP client has been installed, click Finish.
8. To exit the install process, click Back, and then click Exiton the next screen.
9. To complete the OMS configuration, complete the tasks in Configuring and using the OMS.
