SAS INSTALL

Clayton_12 — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 10:42:03 GMT

HI :
I'm trying to install SAS 9.13 unto openvms 8.2 alpha 800

I get the errors:

ERROR: Cannot open X display. Check display name/server access authorization.
ERROR: Device does not support full-screen.
ERROR: Device does not support full-screen.

I tried the fix reccomended by SAS:

This indicates that SAS doesn't know where to display its windows because the DISPLAY symbol or the DECW$DISPLAY logical has not been set.

To set the display, use the command:

$ set display/create/node=your_ip_address/trans=tcpip

To test the display to make sure its working, use the command:

$ mcr decw$clock

If the clock comes up, SAS should come up.

If the clock will not display, then there is a system problem that you will need to contact your OpenVMS system administrator to resolve.
There response is try set display

I still get the SAS ERROR .

ERROR on the CLOCK is:
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-NOMSG, Message number 03AB8204

Any IDEAS?

Thx
Calyton

Clayton, can you give us a bit more info?

Do you have Motif installed and configured on the Alpha?

Where are you trying to display your X windows (i.e. host op system), and what X windows package are you using?

I installed the defaults with the openvms 8.2 install. DW_MOTIF

I tried the common from terminal on server as well as terminal sesssion on xp workstation still no go.

NOT sure of hand how to get specific versions, Suggestions?

BUT the mcr decw$clock test works if I set to display /trans=decnet or if I leave display at default local settings?

Thx

Clayton,

does your Alpha 800 have a graphic card, graphic monitor, keyboard and mouse connected ? Then you should be able to login on that monitor and be able to display the DECwindows clock using $ MC DECW$CLOCK from a DECterm terminal on that graphic monitor.

If that works, installing SAS should also work, but you must execute the installation procedure from a DECterm terminal (do not issue SET HOST or TELNET before you start the installation).

To be able to display the X11 output on your XP PC, you need to run an XServer application (e.g. eXcursion) on the PC and issue a SET DISPL/CREA/NODE=/transp=TCPIP.

You might need to activate the TCPIP transport in your OpenVMS DECWindows software, see SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE for how to define decw$server_transports

Calyton,

Do you get this errors while installing SAS?, does installtion completed atleast partially?, could you able to see any SAS directory in VMS?

This command can be used if you are going to use SAS/GRAPH procedures.
$ set display xxxxx

From the error "ERROR: Cannot open X display. Check display name/server access authorization", I have little doubt on client-sever-name, protocol, port setup and access authorizations. Because you said when you specify DECNet as protocol, it works fine. I am wondering is there any problem in these area.

If you do a SET DISPLAY with any working
transport (local or DECnet, I gather), is the
SAS installer happy?

At one time, there were some extra steps
which were be needed to get the TCPIP
transport enabled, but I'd expect everything
to be fine if you can get any transport
working. Look for "transport" in
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
(.TEMPLATE), as already suggested.

SAS probably recommends TCPIP because it
works in more places than DECnet (or local).

If the SAS installer runs as some other user,
you might try opening the permissions in the
Style Manager | Security control.

Clayton,

from your Forum Profile:

Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?

Thx For all the advice I'll try to reguritate it this AM.
The SAS rep said if the TCPIP thing didn't work, then the problem is with the system, check with your system administrator.

Should the command MCR DWC$clock below work
after the set display/node command?
Should I foocus on this error?

THX
Clayton

$ set display/create/node=your_ip_address/trans=tcpip

To test the display to make sure its working, use the command:

$ mcr decw$clock

If the clock comes up, SAS should come up.

If the clock will not display, then there is a system problem that you will need to contact your OpenVMS system administrator to resolve.
There response is try set display

I still get the SAS ERROR .

ERROR on the CLOCK is:
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-NOMSG, Message number 03AB8204

Re: SAS INSTALL

Volker Halle — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 08:25:59 GMT

Clayton,

if you can't get DECW$CLOCK to work on your display, don't even bother to try SAS.

Let me repeat my question: do you have a graphic monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to your Alpha 800 ? When logged in using that monitor and you open a DECterm, what does $ SHOW DISPLAY say ? Can you then just run $ MC DECW$CLOCK ?

Volker.

Re: SAS INSTALL

Clayton_12 — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 08:35:18 GMT

Yes I do via a KVM switch
It is a test box in my office.

When I try it after set display/node=IP/trans/tcpip

I get the error

ERROR on the CLOCK is:
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-NOMSG, Message number 03AB8204

However display /trans decnet or default local the command MC DECw$clock works fine.

Re: SAS INSTALL

Volker Halle — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 08:48:15 GMT

Clayton,

although DECW$CLOCK works on your local graphics monitor with LOCAL or DECNET transport, SAS install does not ?!

May the SAS installation procedures issues a SET DISPL/CREATE/TRANSP=TCPIP by itself !

What does

$ SEA SYS$MANAGER:decw$private_server_setup.com decw$server_transport

return ?

Volker.

Wim Van den Wyngaert — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:01:10 GMT

Also : the receiving station/PC must allow that traffic may arrive with TCP.
Check [.dt...]dt.resources
All lines with decnet should also mention TCP
(to be exact, something like DECNET * *,TCPIP * * should be present).

Re: SAS INSTALL

Clayton_12 — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:17:40 GMT

I can't seem to find the setup file?
SEA SYS$MANAGER:decw$private_server_setup.com decw$server_transport
%SEARCH-W-OPENIN, error opening SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%SEARCH-E-NOFILE, no file found

How do you invoke the examples in the syS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE file?

Re: SAS INSTALL

Volker Halle — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:24:44 GMT

Clayton,

the ultimate check for the TCPIP transport is this:

$ sea sys$manager:decw$server_0_error.log tcpip
DECW$TRANSPORT_TCPIP image base address: 00792000
%DECW-I-ATTACHED, transport TCPIP attached to its network

If DECW$TRANSPORT_TCPIP is NOT listed, the your local node does NOT support the DECwindows TCPIP transport.

Please copy SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE to SYS$MANAGER:*.COM and edit and un-comment the line:

$ decw$server_transports == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP"

then restart DECwindows using @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

You may want to login to your server via DECNET/TELNET before you restart DECwindows.

Volker.

Re: SAS INSTALL

Volker Halle — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:27:39 GMT

Clayton,

you could also look for the X-Server port 6000:

$ UCX SHOW DEV/PORT=6000

If it doesn't exist, your DECwindows Server does NOT support TCPIP transport.

And note: the SAME is true for your PC. It also needs to run an XServer and accepting connections on port 6000, if you want to redirect your display to your PC !

Volker.

MOving on up. To a new error!

NOw I get an XLiB error.
Any THOUGHTS?
Thx

Re: SAS INSTALL

search of log file produces this?

Check my posting. On the client click desktop, then security. TCPIP must be mentioned there.

Wim

Re: SAS INSTALL

Volker Halle — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 11:16:56 GMT

Clayton,

you have to modify the SECURITY setting for your DECwindwos server:

There is a symbol on the bottom of the screen with a keyboard, mouse, colour, fonts symbols. Double-click on it, it brings up the Style Manager window.

Click on security. Then on Configure Users. Add Node: * User: * Transport: TCPIP - then click on Add.

Close the style manager windows and re-try running DECW$CLOCK.

Volker.
