1. Run ACIF, specifying that the resource file (1b) be created along with the AFP
document file (1a).
If you are using ACIF on AIX and your resources reside on another operating
system, you can use the AIX Network File System (NFS) to mount them to the
AIX system where you are running ACIF.
2. If the print driver program (PSF) that manages jobs for your target printer runs
on a different operating system than the one you run ACIF on, transfer the files
in binary format to the system where PSF runs.
If your resources are not present on the remote PSF platform, concatenate the
AFP document file to the end of the resource file before submitting the file to
PSF. If your resources are already present on the remote PSF platform, you do
not have to concatenate or transmit them.
3. Submit your MO:DCA-P print job to PSF.
Figure 4. Using ACIF to Prepare Files for Archiving and Retrieving
Figure 4 shows numbered steps you can use to archive your files:
1. Run ACIF, specifying that both the index object file (1a) and the resource file
(1c) be created.
2. Run your archival application to archive (3) all three files (1a, 1b, 1c), so that
the document can later be retrieved (4) and viewed or printed with fidelity.
