Setting up Thumbnail Display in WebDocs iSeries

 

CHGDTAARA DTAARA(RJSIMAGE/DOCTHUMBS) VALUE('*YES') 

For example: To se the icon size to 64x64 pixels, use:

CHGDTAARA DTAARA(RJSIMAGE/DOCICONSIZ) VALUE('height="64"  width="64"') 

• For the classic HTTP server set-up (V4R3 - V5R2):
  1. PASS /RJSIMAGE/RJSIMAGEDOC/* /RJSIMAGEDOC/*
  2. PASS /RJSIMAGE/* /RJSIMAGE/*
• For the Apache HTTP server set-up  (V5R1 and above):

  Note: This example assumes the web server instance is APACHEDFT. Substitute your web server instance name anywhere you see APACHEDFT in this example.

  Warning: Directly exposing an IFS folder to users in this way creates a minor security risk.

  1. Go to the APACHEDFT configuration folder:

     WRKLNK OBJ('/www/apachedft/conf/*')

  2. For the Apache configuration file httpfd.conf, type 2 to edit.
  3. To set the web server to use /rjsimage/rjsimagedoc as the physical /rjsimagedoc IFS folder and display thumbnails, insert the following as the first line in the configuring file:

     Alias /rjsimage/rjsimagedoc/ /rjsimagedoc/ 

  4. Before the code block from the initial Apache set-up, insert the following IFS directory permission data block:

     
     AllowOverride None
     order allow,deny
     allow from all
                      

  5. End the Apache web server instance:

     ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(APACHEDFT)

  6. Wait 20-30 seconds for all related jobs to end.
  7. Restart the Apache web server instance:

     STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(APACHEDFT)

     The new web server directives now take effect.
