Visual Administrator question.

Hi,

I'm new basis and I need to know how can I access the Visual Administrator. I need the Exceed program to do that? If yes, tell me how can I use the program to use the Visual Administrator or what I need.

Thanks!

Exporting display is not a XI feature .Its a UNIX feature.Follow these steps.

( Lets say the server on which Exceed is installed is ABC and the server on which XI is installed is DEF.)

1. Open the Exceed session in ABC

2. Note down the Exceed Session No (it can be 1 or 2 or 3 etc)

3. In DEF type ' export DISPLAY=ABC:<session No>'

4.then in DEF type 'cd \usr\sap\<instance_id>\j2ee\admin'

5. Execute 'go.sh'

Perfect,

Bipin, How can I export Display to the server where Exceed is installed?

Because I open the program and try to find the form to export the Display but I don't see where is the way or the button.

Thanks!

Thanks Bipin but what I need Exceed to use the Visual Administrator. What is the function of Exceed here?

Thanks a lot.

Exceed is used to launch GUI.

Otherwise how r u going to open the GUI .Unix itself doesn't have any GUI representation.

In that case you can follow the followig

1. Open Exceed session

2. export Display to the server where Exceed is installed

3. cd to \usr\sap\<instance_id>\j2ee\admin

4. run go.sh

5. Once the Visual admin is started , login using J2EE Administrator Id.

Also, fyi, if you want to access any J2EE/Java server you have privileges to using VA, from your local windows machine for example, just copy the entire 'admin' folder from an sap installation from the path:

On dual-stack: /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<XX>/j2ee

Java stand-alone: /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<XX>/j2ee

You can launch VA as described by others locally and access the relevant j2ee server. You'll get a warning if your local VA is not in sync with the j2ee server your accessing, but most of the time, it will suit your needs.

This is regardless of whether the j2ee server is installed on Unix or Windows.

Hi Carlos,

I am not sure if you are on Windows or Unix. If you are on Windows then as Krishna said you can just start Visual admin using go.bat.

However if you are on Unix, you need a Exceed 4 or Exceed 5 .

Hi,

Visual Admin is to adminster the J2EE stack. No need of any program to access this. This itself is a tool, kind GUI base.
