Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
Yes, it needs to display on a remote device, so it depends upon how the user's session is set up.
Does the connection happen over Telnet, DECnet, SSH, LAT, or what?

Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
The "HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Upgrade and Installation Manual" is highly detailed. See: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/ba322_90045/index.html
I recommend you read through it once. Then repeat with a highlighter to mark your path and go through the check lists (there are numerous options), then work your way through it with the system.
That should get you through to a working system.

Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
http://64.223.189.234/node/134
There's a section on DECwindows troubleshooting in the OpenVMS FAQ that's available here:
http://64.223.189.234/node/1
I'd suggest either the text for PDF version here. (HTML is nice to look at, but very difficult to search.)
In particular, you need have SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM configured to load the TCPIP transport. (This should be mentioned in both places.) This assumes you have TCP/IP Services or some other IP stack configured.
Once you have this startup set up (and have restarted DECwindows), you'll use the implicit DECW$DISPLAY set up for you by the ssh command shown, or that you have manually registered with the SET DISPLAY/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE command.

Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.
If your OpenVMS system does not have a graphics device, you need a X-server running on some other node and need to direct your X-display to that other node.
If you've logged in via TELNET or the remote console, you can set your display with:
$ SET DISP/CREATE/NODE=
For testing, first run $ MC DECW$CLOCK or $ RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO. ICO provides more detailled error messages, if the connection fails.

Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
Please bare with me, but this is the 1st time I've ever seen an OpenVMS system, which is why I'm trying to get the Windows display.
I realize you may not have the time, but can someone provide me the commands syntax to modify the setup.com file to load the TCPIP transport.
Then I think I may be somewhere with what Halle just provided. One can hope anyway.

Re: OpenVMS 8.3 DECwindows setup
if your VMS system is the X-client, you don't need to have the TCPIP transport loaded in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM (I did test that yesterday).
If you have a working X-server, consider to try the SET DISPL/CREATE/NODE=
If it works - fine, otherwise tell us the error message. Try a TCPIP PING
