[intp]

Hi,
I couldnt find right forum for Autosys question..can someone direct me to right forum for autosys (scheduling software question).

just posting here if anyone in this forum could help answering it..

I want to know how to open autosys GUI ?
i use the following but getting msg
"Warning: cannot open display"

$ cd /usr/autosys/autouser
$ . ./IWT_Autosys.ksh
$ export DISPLAY=178.4.8.59:0
$ jobscape &

also tried autosc & (instead of jobscape &)

THANKS.

Hi,

I assume that ip-address 178.4.8.59, is the IP-address from where you're trying to start the GUI or is that the IP-adress of the server.
Can't open Display mostly indicate that the ip-address isn't accessible.

Make sure that the ip-address is correct.
Autosys is a product form CA, don't they have a forum

export DISPLAY=178.4.8.59:0.0

The very first thing that you should do is try a very simple application like xclock with your DISPLAY setting. You may have something as simple as needing to run xhost + on your HP-UX box to allow your Xserver to connect.

yes 178.4.8.59 is my local system.

i tried export DISPLAY=178.4.8.59:0
i tried export DISPLAY=178.4.8.59:0.0

both throws same error "Warning: cannot open display"

can you let me know how to run xclock or anyother application from my local system ?

this is the first time i'm trying to use
autosys GUI.

How are you connecting to the system?
With another unix system?
Are you using a grapgics or a text terminal?
With a PC?
Are you using a graphics package such as Exceed or Reflections?

Do other graphics packages work (i.e. gpm or sam)?

Are you using secure shell? if so then the DISPLAY is likely to 178.4.8.59:10.0

is your local system a unix system, if so run xhost +. on remote system export DISPLAY=178.4.8.59:0.0 and then type in xclock.

[A. Clay Stephenson]

In order to run any X/Motif software; you must have an Xserver. Note the in 'X' speak the Xserver is located on what you generally think of as the client. You must be using a dedicated X-terminal or a PC X emulator (e.g. Reflection/X, eXceed, ...) or perhaps a Linux box. You then export the DISPLAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:0.0 or DISPLAY=hostname:0.0 where the IP address or hostname corresponds to the Xserver location. If using hostname, the remote machine must be able to resolve the hostname.

0) Start your Xserver software on your PC
1) telnet to UNIX host
2) login and export DISPLAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:0.0
3) type xclock (to see if xclock is in your PATH; it's generally /usr/bin/X11/xclock
4) xclock

Until you get this working, don't bother to try anything else.

ok ...

i use windows XP pro OS

1) I use telnet to connect UNIX host
2) export DISPLAY = MY IP:0.0
3) autosc &

getting warning msg.

Now, i dont see anything called Xserver in my PC under exceed program. meaning server not installed ? i have attached a .bmp file
which lists what are the items i have under
exceed.

You are using a text terminal to connect to the HPUX system. You will not be able to display graphics with your current configuration. You will need to acquire an X emulation program for your PC. There are multiple packages available that will fit the bill. Hummingbird Exceed and WRQ ReflectionsX being two of the more popular packages. there also is an open systems X emulator called cygwinX that you can use.

Sorry about that - I see you already have exceed installed

the item labelled exceed in the menu will load the graphics program. However, you will need to configure the proram to "see" the unix system you are connecting to.
