The previous steps are given to start the X server by using
XBrowser. The following steps are used to start the X server by using
Exceed or X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb).
Procedure
- Start Exceed.
- Connect to one of the following workstations with PuTTY
and then type export PATH.
- Type export LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LIBPATH/SHLIB_PATH.
- Type export DISPLAY.
- Type echo $DISPLAY on the workstation
to which you connected by using Exceed or Xvbf.
- Enter xclock & (if xclock displays
on the desktop of the workstation to which you are connected through
Exceed or Xvfb, then X server is running).
- If xhost + {xhost + <IP>} displays,
this means conversion works for this particular IP and only + means
for all workstations.
You must start WebSphere Portal from the console or
an X Server-enabled client with the same privileges (xhost+)
as the console. The graphical conversions require access to an X Window
System server, since they require access to the Xm, Xt and X11 libraries.
Also, the DISPLAY environment variable must be set to the account
that Portal is running under. The DISPLAY must be valid at the point
that Portal is started. Otherwise, telnetting to a workstation and
starting Portal from there does not work. You must start Portal from
an X terminal.
