Xwindow on AIX

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am installing SAPR3 on Aix server 5.3 when I try to start the INSTGUI its giving me following error

"% e027pae0_new:/sapcd/INSTALL # export DISPLAY=10.52.162.25:0.0

e027pae0_new:/sapcd/INSTALL # startx

Please wait - starting your session

e027pae0_new:/sapcd/INSTALL # ./INSTGUI

Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display "10.52.162.25:0.0 "

Thanks & Regards,

I able to manage to get the Xwindows work on my AIX box basically it was SSL issue. I need to configure my Xwindow on SSH and it work fine.

as user root, execute the command "xhost +", this will enable access to all x clients. make sure also u export the DISPLAY env properly.

a. sh shell "export DISPLAY=<your client ip>:0.0"

b. csh shee "setenv DISPLAY <your client ip>:0.0"

Yes I try all the options but still getting the same error. Is firewall play some role in this.?

Hi,

Assuming you are connecting to the AIX through a windows box, you need a X-Manager software like Netsarang Xmanager, X-win32, Reflection, etcc... installed. After the software is installed, you need to open an terminal session and give a export DISPLAY = A.B.C.D:0.0, where A.B.C.D is the IP address of the windows box. Later start the sap installation procedure. This should enable you to go ahead with the installation.

Are you using a dyanamic IP or stable? After checking the Env variables , did u check Xclock? I think you can try using X manager.

[Former Member]

Its Static IP. I had used Xclock but the same error.

Hi Bhushan,

Just to discard possibilities:

Have you started anytime a X session from this AIX at your PC? Or from any other server? Can you try it?

Hi Bhushan,

Have you installed a X Server at your desktop (10.52.162.25)?

You must have running a software like Reflection or Exceed.

I am already using Reflection X running on my Desktop but still getting the same error.
