Display

[FOX MULDER_2]

Please let me know how to how to transfer the display (GUI) to another terminal (X-terminal running on windows).The Server is running on Open VMS 7.3-2.

Pls note no graphics card is present in the server.

Can display be transferred using,
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=abc/TRANSPORT=TCPIP


Pls let know the outcome.
I am able to telnet to the server.

Thanks

The command looks correct to me. pls. note that the X-Server (i.e. the workstation where the display is served) must allow your host to create output. The different X-server packages on windows have somewhere a security-tab (though often security is disabled by default, so every host can display).

regards Kalle

Probably, depending on what "abc" really is.

Also look for decw$server_transports in
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM in
SYS$MANAGER, and verify that TCPIP is one of
the available transports.

> Pls let know the outcome.

I think that that's your job.

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am not able to find the file DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM in the system disk.

But when I issued the cmd:

$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=abc/transport=tcpip
$ RUN/DETACHED/OUTPUT=WSA2: SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK
a clock came up in the x terminal window.

Pls let me know how to view the desktop.

Thanks

Try running decw$session.exe or dtsession.exe. Try Directory sys$system:decw*.* for a list of applications on your system. Create terminal and create terminal/noprocess are also nifty options.

Look for .TEMPLATE, but it looks as if you
needn't bother.

Fox,
Did you open any reflection X before executing the command $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=abc/TRANSPORT=TCPIP?

X terminal like reflection X should be running in your desktop before you execute the above command.

Fox,

the easiest way to get a complete DECwindows session would be to configure and enable the XDM TCP/IP Services component, and switch your X client to XDMCP.

Then the X client broadcasts a request, and the XDM server on VMS answers it.

See http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6526/6526pro_035.html#xdm_chap for the details.

HTH,
Martin
