Configuring DECwindows for TCP/IP?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I need to set up VMS to serve the Xwindow
to clients like PATHWORKS, Reflection, etc.
 
In the past I remember modifieng the DECwindows
startup with two or three lines that set what
was need in order to acomplish connecting into
the server via DECNET or TCPIP with X client.
 
Please, What are the lines that need to be enter
into what command procedure?
 
Regards

The Answer is :

 
  To configure the TCP/IP transport for DECwindows, first ensure that
  a TCP/IP package is installed and configured.  Then set the DCL symbol
  DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
  to the appropriate local value, based on the comments in that file.
 
  If you do not have a copy of SYS$STARTUP:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM,
  the use the following COPY command to create this file based on the
  provided template file:
 
    COPY SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE -
         SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
 
  For information on the eXcursion side of the X Windows connection, the
  eXcursion User's Guide is available via the documentation link at the
  PATHWORKS 32 page at:
