These are the menu options:
(Each menu option is described in linked sections below).
1. Work with monitored output queues
The output queues monitored by IFormNG400 for new XML spooled files.
The XML definitions refer to a printer file, decides if the original output should be split up into
several XML files, selects the InterFormNG template for the merge and an output queue for the
final, merged output from InterFormNG.
5. Work with IFORMNG2 output queue
The merged result from InterFormNG2 are created as spooled files on output queues.
Start the IFORMNG2 subsystem. This is where all IFormNG400 related jobs run.
12. Work with IFORMNG2 subsystem
Lists all jobs in the IFORMNG2 subsystem.
Displays the service log file from InterFormNG2. The log can also directly in the IFS inside /iformng2/InterFormNG-shell/user/profiles/default/logs/interformng2.log and you can also see the same log as the system log of InterFormNG2.
51. Adjust CPI - *AFPDS configuration
If you process AFPDS spooled files in InterFormNG2, then you might need to expand the input spooled file, when the contents is mapped to lines and positions - especially if small fonts are used in the input spooled file. This section explains how you can set this up.
The InterFormNG2 and Spool2XML functions, that you can execute via an IBM i command line can only be executed, if a valid license code can be found. A valid license code can be registered in 3 places: As a system license code in InterFormNG2, a tenant license code in InterFormNG2 and also via this option.
As default the service jobs for both Spool2XML as well as for InterFormNG2 (to run it natively) are started as a part of the subsystem, IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2. With this option you can decide to only start one or the other of these servers.
