Setting Up an X Window Environment

Setting Up an X Window Environment

To run on Linux or UNIX, Informatica Fast Clone Console requires an X Window environment. If an X Window environment does not exist, you must set it up.
X Window uses a client-server model, where an X server communicates with client applications such as the Fast Clone Console to provide graphical user interface display and I/O services.
Set up an X server on the workstation where you want to run the Fast Clone Console. To determine which X server your organization uses, contact your system administrator.
Also, configure the DISPLAY environment variable. This variable specifies the IP address of the system with the X server plus a display number. The default display number is 0. Use :0.0 if the X server runs on the local system. After the X server is running, it opens a TCP/IP listener port, usually port 6000.
If the Fast Clone Console client application is remote from the workstation where the X server runs, configure a DISPLAY environment variable on the client system that points to the X server on your workstation, where you want to display the Fast Clone Console.
The following table shows the commands to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
Shell
Command
C
setenv DISPLAY
X_server_ip_address
:0
Bash/Korn
export DISPLAY="
X_server_ip_address
"
Bourne
DISPLAY="
X_server_ip_address
:0" export display
If you run Fast Clone gui.sh and get the following error message, the X Window environment is not properly configured:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'x.y.z.w' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
