Instructions

There are two ways you can use the application :

  • Simple mode: the application only works with XPS, the features associated to the XPS design language are the only ones available. The application can then only manage XPS projects. This is the default mode.
  • Expert mode: all features associated to older design languages are available. The application can then manage older projects designed in printer native languages (PCL 5, ZEBRA, etc…), notably to convert them to XPS.


Important:

To switch from one utilisation mode to another, the application needs to be rebooted so as to reboot the work spaces and user interfaces.


Language

This allows you to choose the language in which the application interfaces are displayed. DESIGNER is available in English (by default), French and Japanese.

Changing the display language of DESIGNER affects the other software programs in the Suite, notably CONNECT, and requires for the application to be rebooted.


Automatic save

Projects being designed (opened in the application) are automatically and regularly saved. The interval at which they are saved is defined in the corresponding input field.


Lock projects upon opening

Multiple users can work on DESIGNER simultaneously in a common project folder. In this case activating this feature is recommended as it will prevent concurrent access to the same project.

As soon as a user opens a project, writing access is denied to other users. Other users can then only access the project in read-only mode.


Create .bak files

This option allows you to keep N-1 versions of the project when saving it. The corresponding files then have the ".bak" suffix added as their extension.


Select object before moving

All objects positioned in the document template can be edited and moved around. This option forces the user to select an object before he can move it. This prevents objects from being moved accidentally as you select them.


Enable script editor

The DESIGNER application includes a feature to run scripts. This option allows you to create, edit, or delete its very scripts.


Show all component's errors

This option affects the number of error windows appearing when opening a project with components that are unavailable in the project folder.

Activated by default, one window is displayed per missing component, asking for the user to provide said component.

When deactivated, component errors are gathered and displayed in the same window.


Temporary folder

This is the default installation folder for the application, this value can be changed if necessary.


List of characters to be displayed in double width

This input field allows you to add hexadecimal values (or ranges of values) of specific characters to consider and display in double width.

This option is useful to display datastreams in the Spool view and preview the document template in real time.

A similar feature can be found on OPALE Server to run in the configuration variable MAPCPYSPLF_DBCSPITCH_LIST.

Server setup

The Servers tab of the Preferences window allows you to configure accesses of the application:

  • Access to the shared Designer projects folder,
  • Access to the OPALE SERVER formats import folder.

The shared resource folder includes all the projects designed by DESIGNER users.


Once designed, Designer projects can be generated on the production server, in the import folder.

Default paths of the Opale suite import folder are: /home/mapping/

To generate projects, a connection needs to be established between the workstations and the production server. There are two types of possible configurations.

Access to the server via a shared folder

In this case, the workstation is directly linked to the Opale suite server:

Required parameters:

  1. Name given to the configuration,
  2. Share folder for resources,
  3. Path of the OPALE Server import folder.

The server path can be:

  • A UNC  path:

Example : \\192.168.1.181\home\mapping\ (under iSeries)


Access to the server via an FTP connection

In this case, an FTP (or SFTP) connection needs to be established between the workstation and the production server:

Required parameters :

  • Name given to the configuration,
  • Connection mode: FTP, Passive FTP, Secure FTP,
  • IP address of the production server,
  • Username for the FTP access,
  • Associated password,
  • Shared folder for resources,
  • Path of the OPALE Server import folder

Calculations

The two options in the calculations tab define thousands and decimal seperators. This information is used to retrieve integer or real values in the application (per memory zones), the calculations performed and the results displayed in the preview.

Elles n’ont pas d’influence sur la génération des projets.

Deux variables équivalentes existent côté OPALE Server pour l’exécution : MAPCPYSPLF_THOUSAND et MAPCPYSPLF_DECIMAL .


Note:

Ces paramètres, aussi bien côté M-Designer que OPALE Server, sont globaux et donc les mêmes pour l’ensemble des projets développés.
