Remote Server Status
The Server Setup Command property allows you to specify a DCL command string to be executed by the remote IDE User server during its startup. The command specified will be passed to DCL for execution. You can specify a different setup command for each remote server you create.
This feature can be useful for setting up project specific environments.
The output from the setup command can be found in the IDE$USER_xxx log file in your SYS$LOGIN directory on the OpenVMS machine.
To set the Server
Setup Command property
1. On
the Runtime tab, click on the
+ sign next to the Remote
Servers node.
2. Select
the remote server for which you’d
like to specify a setup command.
3. Right
click on the server node and select Properties.
4. Fill
in the Server Setup Command that
you want executed.
Remote Server Connection Timeout
The remote server timeout property helps to make connections from the client to older or slower systems. When a remote server is created, by default a timeout of 120 seconds is assumed. This value is the number of seconds the IDE Server process waits for the IDE$USER process to be completely started before timing out the operation.
If process creation and your login sequence on your OpenVMS machine take longer than one minute, adjust this value upward.
To adjust the
timeout value for all remote servers
1. Select
the Tools/Options menu
2. Select
Advanced Options
3. Select IDE Configuration/Server and External Tool
Settings/Distributed NetBeans Client Settings
4. Modify
the Remote Server Connection Timeout
property

adjust the timeout value for an individual remote server

list and right click
