Exceed connexion failed

[zenari]

Hi,

My application logon automatically on a HP-UX 11i server with Exceed7.1 and a bypass login.
From time to time the Exceed connection fails and login process enters on a Failsafe session. I don't know if this problem is an Exceed problem or a CDE configuration problem.
CDE log files display fonts convertion errors. Where can I find missing fonts for CDE ?
Regards
Olivier

Hi,
you may have to runa forms server.
Cut from another thread:
Perform these steps on the HP-UX system:

1. Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/xfs by setting RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1.

2. Use your root ID to execute the '/sbin/init.d/xfs start' command.

Perform these steps on the remote system:

1. Log in as the user.

2. Execute the 'xset +fp tcp/:7000' command.

3. Execute the 'xset fp rehash' command.

4. Execute the 'xset -q' command.

5. Perform an rlogin to the HP system.

Hi Olivier,

About CDE fonts, you can search those patches at http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/search.do doing a search with both words "CDE" and "font": check if you miss any of those patches...

For HP-UX 11.11 you have PHSS_29279, PHSS_30787, PHSS_30788, PHSS_30789, PHSS_30871, PHSS_31001 and PHSS_32029 related with CDE fonts...

Best Regards,

Ususally that fallback to failsafe session occurs as a result of nameserver problems, but this would be hard to debug if it only occurs once in a time.
You should be able to check on this by looking at the output of inetd in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log - if Your connection at that time is logged only by the ip address instead of a hostname, I'd say Your DNS was unavailable for a moment.

On the font conversion issue the posting prior to mine included all steps, but You could additionally try to add the hpux box to Exceeed's font path.
Usually the syntax is tcp://hpux_hostname:8000
