Integrating Web and Network Images into iSeries Applications

A manufacturer has a drawing application on Windows NT that creates engineering drawings in JPEG format. The manufacturer wants to be able to use the same drawing on a work order, but the work order is a line of business (LOB) document produced by the iSeries.

Here is how the manufacturer can use Infoprint Server components to meet its requirements:

	1.	The user sends the JPEG file to the Windows-based image transform to create
		an AFP page segment.
	2.	Next, the user could use the AFP Manager component of iSeries Navigator to
		create the page segment in the iSeries. Alternatively, the user could use a
		network drive mapped to an iSeries to put the AFP output file in a shared folder,
		then use OS/400 commands to create it as a page segment on the iSeries.
	3.	A user application creates a spooled file that uses the new page segment.
	4.	The spooled file can now be sent to an IPDS printer or PSF can send it to
		Infoprint Server. Through Infoprint Server, you can send the job to a PCL or
		PDF printer, e-mail the output, or create a stream file in the integrated file
		system.

Figure 6 shows how Infoprint Server can transform images into AFP files.
