Installing and configuring other software

This section contains information about installing and configuring software that is not delivered with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters and does not necessarily have its own documentation. You will be directed to perform these tasks by other sections of this guide when necessary.

Configuring your environment for X emulation

If you are installing on a UNIX computer, but are using a Windows computer to connect to the UNIX computer then do the following to configure the environment for X emulation:

  1. Determine the IP address of the Windows computer that you are using to connect to the UNIX computer.

    You can execute the ipconfig command at the Windows command line interface to display the IP address of the Windows computer.

  2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable on the UNIX computer to the IP address determined in step 1.

    You must be sure to follow the IP address with a colon and the identifier for the monitor or display on the Windows client computer. If the Windows client computer only has a single monitor then the display value is 0.0.

    The following example shows the DISPLAY environment variable being set to the single monitor on a Windows computer whose IP address is 9.26.244.30:

    DISPLAY=9.26.244.30:0.0
    
  3. Export the DISPLAY environment variable on the UNIX computer by executing the following command:
    export DISPLAY
    
  4. Start the X emulation client on the Windows computer and connect to the UNIX computer.
