What HP-UX 11.x Items do I need to configure in order to use Exceed 7.1x

William Nixon_1 — Sun, 09 Nov 2003 22:12:12 GMT

I have Exceed Version 7.1.0.1 and HP-UX 11.x and I keep getting the following error where the connection times out "sh: @: not found."
What does this mean? Do I have a problem with Exceed on Windows 2k SP4 or do I need to configure sometime on the Unix box?

I had it working with 7.x I highly reccomend upgrading to 8.x, they have fixed a few bugs.

These are the settings to get it working using xsession:

Window Mode = Single
Startup Mode = XDMCP-query

You should be able to launch the Exceed XDMCP-Broadcast tool and have it connect without any fuss. Give that a try.

Hope this helps

Hi,
You dont need any configuration on the server side for Exceed to run, just what you need is CDE to be loaded on the server. Do a swlist -l fileset|grep CDE to see you have CDE loaded on your server.
"@" is bacisally to export the display variable to what IP your client machine has.
So concentrate on configuring the right syntax in client startup window, here is what you should typically have in in command
@(XTerm, method=stdappdb) -n Eureka -T Eureka -sl 1000 -sb -bg black -fg green -display @d&;
Where Eureka means the title bar or the xwindows,
If you have more problem, let you know how you are trying to connect, means are you opening CDE window on the server or trying to do a telnet and get xterm window.

The CDE environment works fine at the server and I can use Exceed's Transport Monitor and see that my machine is connecting to the server, but it times out. I've checked the Xerrors file and it has "Sun Nov 9 23:36:29 2003 error (pid 4519): Server open attempt #0 failed for Defjam:0, giving up". How can I fix this problem? Or what should I see?
Also I've attached a screen capture of the Exceed host replies.

We run tons of PC's using Exceed 7.1.0.1 on HP-UX 11.X and you dont need to configure anything at all on the HPUX side. The only time we see timeouts or connection problems from a PC/Exceed to an HPUX server is because of network problems. If you have a slow or dodgy network, or where you connect through routers/firewalls these can have timeouts set on them which can cause your connection problems. Investigate with your network people, its not on HPUX.

What command are you specifying in the exceed setup for the connection? And have you identified the server as an HP, or just Unix?

Rajeev - My file attachment was to larger.
Stefan - I am using my home network with a D-Link wireless nic card. I'll plug direct in via hard wire and try it again before I change anything else.
Mark - I did use the HP selection when I was setting up my connection.
Thank you for your timely response and I'll try your suggestions today and give you an update.

For the sake of a test, try entering the following into an exceed startup command window;

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -d :0

drop the <>.

If an xterm pops up, you have a configuration problem in Exceed. If not, then you either have network problems or possible a reverse lookup problem in DNS.

Thanks Angus, it did not work I got the following message: # xterm -d 192.168.0.103:0
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.0.103:0
Error: Couldn't find per display information

Then something is definitely wrong with your Exceed configuration (or possibly DNS is messed up).

Unfortunately, I have just upgraded to 9.0 and am having all kinds of problems getting X-port forwarding to work over ssh now. I might even ask a question of the forum, since Hummingbird support doesn't seem to answer their phone this week.

The short of it is, I don't have a 7.X to look at, or I would try to figure out what it could be in the config.

Just an observation, no points please;

X will connect back to your server, (your PC running Exceed X) to run the apps. If you are blocking port 6000 from your HP server to your PC, your X app will not run. You should connect via ssh, with X11 forwarding set to on, then run an X app as it will tunnel the app across port 22, which is already established.
