Installing Sametime Conversion Services with AIX, Solaris, i 5/OS
Sametime Conversion Services is a feature that takes files of various formats (slides, images, documents,
etc.) and provides a bitmap rendering, so they can be shared in a meeting as slides. Sametime
Conversion Services has been enhanced for Sametime 7.5 to use new conversion technologies that
provide more faithful rendering of slides. The same technology is used for all Sametime servers,
regardless of the platform used for your Sametime server.
In order to utilize this function for AIX, Solaris, and i5/OS Sametime servers, you must install Sametime
Conversion Services on a Windows system from the Sametime Components CD. The Sametime server
must also be configured to connect to the Windows system.
When you install Sametime 7.5 on AIX or Solaris, you are prompted to provide connection information for
the system where you plan to run conversion services.
For i5/OS, connection information parameters have been added to the command for adding Sametime to
a Domino server (ADDLSTDOM).
If you prefer, you can manually configure the conversion services information at a later time.
Detailed information about setting up Sametime 7.5 Conversion Services are included in the Meeting
Services section of the Lotus Sametime 7.5 Administrator's Guide, rather than in a separate guide, as in
previous releases.
