Server Setup Command

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


   To adjust the timeout value for an individual remote server 

1.  Select the Runtime tab
2.  Select the server in the Remote IDE Server list and right click  
3.  Select Properties and modify the Server Timeout property
 

      

 

Checking IDE Server Properties

  To check the properties of your IDE server    

1.  In the NetBeans IDE, click the Runtime tab
2.  Expand the plus sign (+) next to Remote IDE Servers
3.  Right click on the remote system

Note  By default, the Preserve Session option is unchecked. If you check Preserve Session, NetBeans restores the connection state at startup to the connection state that existed when NetBeans was last shut down.
