BRGUI: Connect WindowsXP to AIX: BR0255E Cannot read from standard input

[Former Member]

Hi,

I configure brgui.properties and seam everything ok:

brgui.remote-0=D11 (rsh aixd11 -l orad11)

It connect to server, but in the footer of 2nd BRGUI screen (after login screen) it appears "Error: Cannot read from standard input" in red.

And some seconds later the application closes.

I see the log and it has the following:

BR0651I BRTOOLS 7.00 (16)

BR0280I BRTOOLS time stamp: 2008-04-15 16.30.10

BR0255E Cannot read from standard input

BR0280I BRTOOLS time stamp: 2008-04-15 16.30.10

BR0654I BRTOOLS terminated with errors

Can anybody help? Maybe is it related with AIX files authorizations?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Rui,

Please take note on the following important points.

"

When you use the remote option, ensure that the environment on the

remote host is fully configured to use the BR*Tools, and that the remoteuser has the relevant database rights. You should also ensure that the

relevant environment files are actually called up during the remote

access.

"

and

"

In some cases, BrGui does not work with the Remote Shell rsh from from

Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003

Service Pack 1. See Microsoft Support Article ID 896336. Microsoft

offers a hotfix for this purpose. As a workaround, use the rsh from the

previous Service Pack. This is located in the uninstall directory after

the Service Pack has been installed. You can also enter the complete

path in the relevant remote call.

"

Hope the above information helps.
