Display variable setting in Solaris 8

Hi guyz,
I am using the telnet session to start the application. In this case, I can't able to start because of Display variable setting.
My problem is, I can telnet from my localsystem to the Server-A. Only from Server-A, I can telnet to Server-B where my applications are.How to set Display settings in this case?
Please help me guyz.
With regards,
Amin

Hello,
how to set a variable depends on the shell. If you use the command 'uname -n' it will return the name of your system, which can in turn be resolved to the ip-address.
C-shell (csh) setenv `uname -n`:0.0
Bourne-shell (sh) set DISPLAY=`uname -n`:0.0; export DISPLAY
Korn-shell (ksh) export DISPLAY=`uname -n`:0.0
Best regards
Michael

Frmf2xml.sh: why do i need a display variable set to transform fmb to xml?

hallo,
why do i need a display variable set to transform fmb to xml with a shell script (frmf2xml.sh) ?
OS: SunOS 5.10

thank you

Hi DrClap,
I just wanted to check with you whether I understood your comment correctly.
It's not possible to directly specify a physical file location path, like it is specified for HTTP URL +<c:import url= http://...+, that would internally/automatically convert in one of the form - Reader, Source, Document, String.
It can only be produced/specified explicitly in one of the form - Reader, Source, Document, String.
Am I correct in my understanding?

DIsplay variable setting ReflectionX in Bash shell

Everyone,
Can somebody help me with setting display variable for running Configtool in ReflectoinX in Bash shell.
Appreciate your time. Thanks.

> It looks like it will work..only thing is that we need to set display variable..i assume.
If you logon as <sid>adm then no DISPLAY (or other variable) must be set if you use XDMCP.
> I am doing sudo for opening a java tool which needs x window..other x windows like visual admin is working fine but for configtool, i am getting this error saying display variable is not set.
That's what I was saying - do not switch users (sudo, su etc.) - that will delete the environment and invalidate .Xauthority.
> I am not given the <sid>adm password, can i just use X window with sudo OR do i need to get the <sid>adm password to start the configtool..
In that case I would not use XCMCP to connect but a pure telnet, do sudo and then set the DISPLAY to
<your-IP>:<reflection-display>. the latter can be found when open Reflection in the lower part of the configuration window.

What is proper setting for DISPLAY variable?

Newbie to X here....
I'm ssh'd into my RHEL 5.4 system (64 bit) and get the following error from "./runInstaller" as the oracle user.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '172.21.52.87:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method)
at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(Unknown Source)
As root, I started the vncserver via "vncserver".
I've tried the running "runInstaller" with the DISPLAY variable set to 172.21.52.87:0.0 and as 172.21.52.87:0 but keep getting this error.
Am I suppose to connect to this server in another way other than ssh? If so, what's recommended?
TIA,
John

Hello John,
here is a procedure how I usually start a X11 GUI:
1) Start Xming which can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
2) Connect to the server with the settings as shown
http://www.oratoolkit.ch/images/otn/puttyX11Config.png
3) execute xhost resp. ./runInstaller
that's all! ;)

DISPLAY variable in R12 Forms/Web tier

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to clarify something about the DISPLAY variable in R12 Forms/Web Tiers. Is it necessary to have DISPLAY variable set to an active X session(Vnc) server session on Forms/Web Tiers? I understand that we need to do it for CM/Report/Admin tiers. Please confirm.
Thanks

How about Forms/Web tiers?
It's required is some cases (like the following), and I would recommend having it set on all application tier nodes to the same value.

Thanks.Assuming you are connecting to the solaris box from you workstation via telnet or ssh ...
Do you have an x-server (such as Exceed or xming) running on your workstation?
Did you set DISPLAY to the ip of your workstation, not the solaris server?
DISPLAY is redirecting "x" output to the specified location (your workstation), and there needs to be an x-server running at that location.

I don't know XMing, but for CygWin, you have to use a Cygwin windows to enable the XClient, not an external tool. Did you use the XMing tool windows, or did you continue with SecureCRT ?
Steps for Cygwin :
1. install from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
2. choose installation from internet
3. the following server worked for me http://cygwin.cybermirror.org
4. ensure the following packages are check :

How to set a display variable

Hi all,
we have oracle EBS 12.1.1 installed on suse linux servers in our setup. one developer is using dev tools to have some graphs displayed while generating reports. all of a sudden we find that the graphs are not getting generated.
i am told that it is because of the DISPLAY variable in Linux. I am working as a Linux admin and I am not too sure how to set it.
i went to the company's data center to get to the console of the Linux box. I logged into the GUI and ran these commands
linux-43x3:~ # echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
linux-43x3:~ # export DISPLAY=:0.0
linux-43x3:~ # xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any hostsince the display was showing :0.0, there sud not v been any issue in my opinion, but still i chose to run the export DISPLAY command.
still i find the graphs do not show up. should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps user? and further if I log out of the GUI will the graphs still work?
i dont have much experience with oracle apps. please excuse me if this question is too silly

Hi,
>but still i chose to run the export DISPLAY command.
No problem if you set DISPLAY:0.0 AGAIN
should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps userRun as both users.
should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps userIt'll work, Unless you reboot the whole machine.

How to set the DISPLAY variable to run admsi.pl?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to patch Oracle apps R12 using admsi.pl.
hostname: black
APPS db: VIS
But I keep getting the error:
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
This is what I did:
VIS database and listener are already running.
login to the linux server as unix user: applmgr
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/
. APPSVIS_black.env
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/bin/
admsi.pl
Invoking Oracle Patch Application Assistant....
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
huh ?
set | grep -i "display"
DISPLAY=:0.0
set | wc
435 486 25235
I notice that there are 36 .env files!
For applmgr alone!!
find /oapps/applmgr/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
36 36 2626
For oracle, there are another 7 .env files!
find /oapps/oracle/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
7 7 513
Did I get the environment (env) file correct?
Or do I need to run a few more env first?
If so, which ones?
What would the order of operations be?
sqldeveloper has given me problems with Display sometimes.
But even sqldeveloper works fine.
What is the secret to get admsi.pl to run in the normal manner?
Thank a lot!

Thanks a lot, that worked! So the perl script was wrong.
In the meantime, I had done this, and it seemed to work:
admsi.pl -debug
Gathering Information..
Enter the patch_top : /oappsinstall/update12.1.1/7303030
Enter the APPS user password:

DISPLAY ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE SETTING

Hi All,
After setting the Display Environment variable and running netca
I am getting below error:
Oracle Net Services Configuration:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.ewt.lwAWT.BufferedApplet.<init>(Unknown Source)
at oracle.net.ca.NetCA.<init>(Unknown Source)
at oracle.net.ca.NetCA.main(Unknown Source)
Oracle Net Services configuration failed. The exit code is -1
Can anyone tell me what i will do

And TEST-SERVER is the name of your local PC?
the DISPLAY variable needs to be set to the IP of a X-Windows server, the database server will be client to this server!
I know many people here don't know anything about Oracle nor Unix, and also don't want to learn it, and at the same time are SHOUTING all the time.
This is getting terribly annoying.

Re: Failed to Start Deployment Server -- X Window DISPLAY variable not set

I don't know how you have hit that in an normal environment:-( Can you describe what you did? As long as you start the bundled AppServer in the same environment as Creator, both need the DISPLAY set.
A guess, did you try to install Creator as root and then use it as normal user? Don't do that. Creator is intended to be installed by the user who will use it!
I know our updated JDK now throws different exceptions when the DISPLAY variable is not set than the one before. I found that (but too late for the release) and have the needed change. But so far I was not aware that any customer had actually hit that. So it was not considered a high enough priority to go into a hotfix. I'll file a CR and the fix will hopefully make it into a patch.
As a short term workaround for that problem (But I still believe your setup has other problems):
Go into <Creator_home>/SunAppServer8/lib/ and replace processLauncher.xml with the backup (processLauncher.xml.bak).
The only thing you will loose, is the little icon in the Gnome/KDE/SystemTray.
I hope this helps,
Thanks,

JMF in Unix-Shell: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set

Hello guys
I've got a client-server application. The server runs on linux and is started in the unix-shell.
When the server just sends out data which was received before, everything works fine. But when I'm using a processor (or a player) it says:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
How can I avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
that has to be a first.
If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
<hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
export DISPLAY=hostname:0
where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
XServer from the display client.
Apparently, you are not at the console?
Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

Display variable

Dear all,
11.5.9 on solaris 10
Currently we have set display variable to a sun machine which has a display hardware. now, this display server needs to be removed. we dont have any sun machine which has a display hardware
attached to it..
Is it neccessary to have a machine which has a display hardware ?. is there any workaround ?
since the current OS is sun, is it necessary to have the display hardware also running in SUN?
Please advise
Kai

Kai,
Is it neccessary to have a machine which has a display hardware ?. It is mandatory, otherwise you will receive REP-3000 error.
is there any workaround ?Please see these docs.
