Configuring Antenna House for Output

A system administrator must configure the Astoria application to support using Antenna House Formatter to compose output.

1. Install the Antenna House Formatter application on the ACS primary server.
   Detailed instructions are available in the ACS ICI topic, Installing Antenna House.
2. If desired, install an XSLT processor (for example, msxsl).
   If you don't install an XSLT processor, Astoria will use Xalan to peform XSLT processing.
3. On the ACS primary server, edit %LSPEED_HOME%\iEngine\batchMonitor.cfg.
4. Add this section:

   [com.lspeed.webforms.AntennaHouse]
   AHFCmd=C:\Program Files\Antenna House\AHFormatterV61\AHFCmd.exe
   AHFArgs=-x 4
   xsltProcessor=c:\msxsl\msxsl.exe
   xsltArgs=-u 3.0

   Note: If you didn't install an XSLT processor, omit the last two parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   AHFCmd	Path to the AHFCmd.exe, in your Antenna House installation directory.
   AHFArgs	Command-line arguments to pass to the AHFCmd program.
   xsltProcessor	Path to the xslt processor. Omit if no XSLT processor is installed.
   xsltArgs	Command-line arguments to pass to the XSLT processor. Omit if no XSLT processor is installed.

5. Save the file.
6. Restart the Astoria Task Server service.
7. Import the XSL files you want to compose with into the Styles\Antenna House folder in the Administration cabinet in the repository.
   When a user submits a composition job to Antenna House, they will choose one of the files in this folder.
8. Optionally, specify additional arguments to the Antenna House command-line processor for a selected style sheet.
   1. Navigate to the style sheet of interest in the Styles\Antenna House folder in the Administration cabinet in the repository.
   2. Right-click the style sheet and select File > Show Properties,
   3. Select the Custom Attributes tab.
   4. Click Add and select Antenna House extra args, then click OK.
      The Antenna House extra args custom attribute field appears.
   5. Enter the arguments you want to pass to Antenna House for this style sheet.
   6. Click OK.
      The style sheet custom attributes are saved.
