Installing SAP in Unix--How to get GUI

[Former Member]

I will be installing SAP in a Unix Environment.

As per my understanding i have to do the following as first step.

<b>DISPLAY=<the ip address of my laptop>:0.0</b>

So pls let me know whether if i do this will i be able to see the SAPINST GUI and the Oracle Universal Installer GUI also

Hi,

You are on the right path.

But the pre-requisite for is to have a GUI Tool running on your system.

It could be citrix client, exceed (Humming bird), Xserver Or something similar.

After that based on that you can connect to the Unix server and get the GUI displayed on your system.

for example : Let's say that the GUI tool has generated the window for 0.0 Display mode then you need to execute the command

" export DISPLAY=UR_LOCAL_IP:0.0 "

OR ELSE

" setenv DISPLAY UR_LOCAL_IP:0.0 "

Where 0.0 is the display mode and hence if that changes to 4.0 then you wil have to replace the 0.0 with 5.0.

I hope this helps you!

So if i do that DISPLAY function , i will be able to see only SAPINST and Oracle Installer or i will be able to view a GUI of the Folders in AIX

Hi Balaji,

After seeting the Display mode oyou will be able to get the GUI display on your local system (i.e SAP inst, OUI e.t.c ).

There will not be any folder with name GUI in AIX .....

I dont mean that there is any folder called GUI in AIX

In unix there are folders like /usr . /home etc.

so can i see this folders in GUI mode using Xserver

Hi,

No you will not be able to view the folder or the file system with this type of gui connection.

For that you can telnet to that Unix machine or else open a SSH connection.

OR

Uou need to logon to Xmanager where in you will be asked for the Login id and password.
