SCCOPT_RENDERING_PREFER_OIT / GD Output Solution: How to Avoid X Server Dependencies with Outside In Technology (OIT) (Doc ID 760121.1)

Last updated on MARCH 13, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Outside In Technology - Version 8.5.1 and later
Linux x86
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit)
Linux x86-64
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (32-bit)
HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)

Purpose

The purpose of this document is twofold:

1.  To inform users of OIT about the availability of the GD output solution, which removes the dependency for an X server on 32-bit Linux (Red Hat and Suse), Linux x86-64, Solaris Sparc, IBM AIX 32-bit, and HP-UX RISC 32-bit platforms.
2.  To assist users who are seeing degraded quality of font rendering in the output generated by OIT on these platforms, and would benefit from using the GD output solution instead of the X server solution.

Scope

This article pertains to users who are running the 32-bit Linux (Red Hat and Suse), Linux x86-64, Solaris Sparc, IBM AIX 32-bit, IBM AIX 64-bit and HP-UX RISC 32-bit platforms version of Outside In libraries on these platforms.  This article will not pertain to users on other UNIX or Windows platforms.

For any users wishing to find out more details about the X server requirements of OIT, please refer to Note 552068.1 on My Oracle Support (MOS).
