To preview many types of vector-based documents, IBM® eDiscovery
Manager servers that run on AIX® systems must be configured with
an X Window System server.
About this task
An eDiscovery Manager server
that runs on an AIX system uses
an X Window System server with Motif to properly preview several kinds
of vector-based documents, such as Portable Document Format (PDF),
PowerPoint (PPT), and many Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files. An X
Window System server is not needed for eDiscovery Manager servers that run on Windows systems.The X Window
System server must use a Motif-based window manager.
Procedure
To install and set up an X Window System on a server:
- Start the X Window System server.
- Run the following command on the system where the eDiscovery Manager application server is running:
export DISPLAY=X_Server:display_num.screen_num
where
- X_Server is the IP address or host name of
the system running the X Window System server.
- display_num is the display number.
- screen_num is the screen number for the specified
display.
The values for display_num and screen_num are
typically 0 (zero), indicating the first display and the first screen
on that display. In some cases, the DISPLAY environment variable might
be set already. For example, if you log on to an AIX system from many X Window System server implementations,
the DISPLAY environment variable is automatically set to the proper
value for that session. If you start the eDiscovery Manager application server from
that session, you do not need to set the DISPLAY value.
For
example:
export DISPLAY=svr1.myhost.com:0.0
- Start the eDiscovery Manager application
server.
