Configuring Document Conversion Services for systems other than Windows | HCL Digital Experience

Configure the Document Conversion Services to complete document conversions in an operating system other than Windows. You must complete the following steps whenever you start the Portal server from a new terminal window.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the oiexport directory is in the PATH as wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/oiexport:$PATH.

    For example, export PATH=wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/oiexport:AppServer_root/java/jre/bin:$PATH

  2. Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LIBPATH/SHLIB_PATH to point to the oiexport directory and the graphics library directory.
    This environment variable is different for different systems, as detailed in the following table:
    Table 1. Library path variables by operating system
    Platform Library path variable
    AIX LIBPATH
    HP-UX SHLIB_PATH
    Linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    z/OS LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH

    In AIX®, the command might be export LIBPATH=wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/oiexport:/usr/X11R6/lib

    Required library: On SolarisLinux™, you must install the following library to run document conversion services: libstdc++.so.5. This library is included with GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 3.2 to 3.3.6.

    You must install libstdc++.so.5 and include the folder that contains the library in the library path variable. The command might be export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/oiexport:/usr/X11R6/lib:/user/lib

  3. Run the exporter task from the wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/oiexport directory to ensure that you installed all the libraries.
    A successful task displays the following message:
    Error: no input file was specified
Error: no output file was specified
Error: No output id was specified
