From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Monday, February 06, 2012 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Running Installer for 7.6.04 ** Xming is a free X Windows server you can run on your workstation. Install that and add the server's IP address to the X0.hosts file. My X0.hosts is located at C:\Program Files\Xming\X0.hosts. Once you've done this, start Xming. On the unix server, set up the display export: export DISPLAY=<workstation IP>:0.0 Then run the installation program on the server and it will show on your desktop. Just a note, if you are not close to the server the X application is nearly unusable. Running X apps over VPN, on the other side of the globe, etc. will render the installer mostly useless. It will take 10 to 100 times as long to do the installation from far away than it will if the server is close by. The worst I've seen is running it on a server in the US from India, in which case I had to wait 10-15 minutes each time I clicked on a field in the installer to wait for it to actually set focus to the field to input information. Needless to say I found another location (workstation closer to the server) to run the installer from.

We are coming from version 7.1 and we have never encountered a need to run X Windows Clients before with installing the AR Server. What do we need to know to run this installer? The Install Guide is so vague that I am lost trying to find out what we need, what setting we need, etc. For example, it says to set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the X Windows Client on the local computer. I am guessing this is something like $ export DISPLAY=mymachine:0.0 Hut my question is will this work or do I need to point to the exact directory where X Windows Client would be installed on my windows desktop? Current Environment Client Desktop: Windows 7 Server OS: Sun OS 5.9 AR Server: 7.1 patch 11 - upgrading to 7.6.04 patch 2 DB: Oracle 10g. Any input would be very helpful. Any links, white papers, discussions group links will be very helpful. Like I said no one on our team has ever run into the X Windows Client before and the Install Guide is NO HELP.
