Turning off GOCA support on an AIX or Linux server
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 as opposed to InfoPrint 4000 printers), 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.
If your HP-UX or Sun Solaris client is connected to an InfoPrint Manager AIX or InfoPrint Manager Linux server, go to the AIX or Linux server and use this procedure:
- Access the ipm_print file that reside in the /usr/lpp/pd/bin directory.
- Using your AIX or Linux editor of choice, comment out the
othertoptions="other-transform-options='-g'";line by placing a hash mark (#) in front of the line.
You can also turn off this support at a later date, as described in Adding box shading values to printed output.
