The installation procedure might automatically run AUTOGEN, depending on which type of system you are using:
This system is not a workstation. It will not be necessary to run AUTOGEN. |
The installation procedure has determined that your system parameters are
set correctly and that it will not be necessary to run AUTOGEN or reboot
the system.
If your system is already running DECwindows Motif, restart DECwindows
Motif with the following DCL command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART
If your system is NOT already running DECwindows Motif, start DECwindows
Motif with the following DCL command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP
* * * N O T E * * *
If you are installing DECwindows Motif from your workstation console, log
off after you enter the command to start DECwindows Motif.
|
The installation of DECwindows Motif has determined that some of your
system parameter values will require modification in order to start
Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS, Version 1.2--6. To set your
parameters correctly, run AUTOGEN using the following DCL command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK
This will adjust your system parameters and reboot the system.
|
The OpenVMS AUTOGEN procedure will now be run to set your system
parameters. After that, your system will be automatically rebooted.
After the system has been rebooted, successful installation of the
workstation software will be indicated by the appearance of the
Start Session window.

These messages indicate that the installation procedure completed successfully.
Your system automatically shuts down if AUTOGEN is run; you must then reboot your system. See the upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX processor for instructions on how to reboot your system.
If you upgrade your system with a higher version of OpenVMS at a later time, you might need to reinstall the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software. |
Errors can occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exist:
For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions,
see the documents listed in the Associated Documents section in the
Preface. These documents may help you diagnose errors and decide what
corrective actions to take.
3.4 Accessing the Release Notes
During the installation, the VMSINSTAL procedure copies theCompaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Release Notes to the SYS$HELP:DECW$MOTIFU6012.RELEASE_NOTES file. Once you return to DCL level, you can print this file or display it at a terminal. Refer to Section 3.2.5 for more information about accessing the release notes.
This chapter discusses the tasks that you need to perform after the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS installation is completed:
If the DW--MOTIF license that is installed on your system is not valid,
appropriate messages display on your console terminal and DECwindows
Motif is not automatically started. If this situation occurs, log in to
the system, install the valid license, and start your DECwindows Motif
software. For complete information on installing licenses using LMF,
see the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
4.1 Starting the DECwindows Motif Software
If you perform a system reboot following the installation of DECwindows Motif, the DECwindows startup procedure runs automatically when the system reboots. On OpenVMS Alpha systems, either the New Desktop login dialog box or the DECwindows desktop Start Session dialog box is displayed, depending on the value of the DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP global symbol. (See Section 4.4 for more information.) On OpenVMS VAX systems the Start Session dialog box is displayed. Proceed to Section 4.2 if you allowed a system reboot and DECwindows has successfully started.
If you chose not to reboot the system after the installation, you must start or restart the DECwindows Motif software by running the DECwindows startup procedure, as described in the following paragraphs. When the startup procedure has successfully completed, either the New Desktop login dialog box or the DECwindows desktop Start Session dialog box is displayed, as explained in the previous paragraph.
Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software can be started only if your system parameters are correct. Proceed to one of the following sections if your system parameters are correct:
If your system parameters are not correct, then use one of the following methods to adjust them accordingly:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK |
Some SYSGEN parameters must be reset for DECwindows to start. If you type YES, AUTOGEN will change these parameters and reboot your system. If you type NO, AUTOGEN will not run or cause a reboot, but DECwindows will not start. To run AUTOGEN at a later date, enter the following command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN getdata reboot check_feedback Do you want the system to run AUTOGEN for you [Yes]? |
After the system is rebooted and the startup is completed, the Start Session dialog box displays.
The Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software is now installed and running on your system.
Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) as described in Section 4.2 to verify that the installation of Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software is complete and accurate.
4.1.1 Standalone Systems
Perform one of the following procedures to start your DECwindows Motif
software on a standalone system:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP |
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART |
If your system has a workstation display, then the command to restart DECwindows Motif will end your current session. The Start Session dialog box displays on your terminal, and you must log back in to continue using DECwindows Motif. |
The Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software is now installed and running on your system.
Run the IVP as described in Section 4.2 to verify that the
installation of Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS is complete and accurate.
4.1.2 OpenVMS Cluster Systems
Starting Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS on nonsatellite and satellite nodes is described
in the sections that follow.
4.1.2.1 Starting Nonsatellite and Boot Nodes
To start Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software on each of the nonsatellite nodes within your cluster, perform one of the following procedures:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP |
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART |
If the nonsatellite node or boot node has a workstation display, then the command to restart DECwindows Motif will end your current session. The Start Session dialog box displays on your terminal; log in again to continue using DECwindows Motif. |
The Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software is now installed and running on your system.
Run the IVP as described in Section 4.2 to verify that the
installation of the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product is complete and accurate.
4.1.2.2 Starting Satellite Nodes
To start the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software that is installed on the boot node, perform one of the following procedures on each satellite node in the cluster that will run Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP |
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART |
Once DECwindows Motif is started or restarted on each node in the
OpenVMS Cluster, then the installation is considered complete. Now run
the IVP as described in Section 4.2.
4.2 Running the IVP
Run the IVP, SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP.COM, after you install and start the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product. This procedure contains four tests, which verify that the software installation is complete and accurate.
First, the IVP procedure attempts to run two display-oriented tests. When you invoke the IVP, it identifies your type of hardware.
Press Ctrl/Z at the prompt if you do not want to run the display-oriented tests. The IVP runs these tests only if the images exist on the system. If the IVP does not find the images, a message displays to inform you that the tests will not be run.
If you are invoking the IVP from a LAT Xterminal using LAT software, enter the following command first:
Substitute your actual LAT terminal number for nnnnnnnnnn. Enter the default at the _Display: prompt. |
Next, the IVP runs two nondisplay-oriented tests.
Example 4-1 shows you how to run the IVP.

The Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software allows you to boot all configurations from the main console. You can then toggle between displaying and not displaying the operator window by pressing Ctrl/F2. The main console is always a workstation screen.
If you are logged in to the main console (workstation screen), you must log out before DECwindows will start. Issue the following command from the main console:
$@SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP |
Once the command procedure completes, log out of the main console. Otherwise the server will not start and a login box will not appear.
For an alternative console, you can use a terminal connected to the workstation by means of a terminal port.
If you boot from the main console, the alternative console is connected when you invoke the DECwindows Motif startup command procedure.
If you boot the system from an alternative console, you cannot start
the Console Window application. This application is described in the
release notes.
4.4 Selecting the Desktop (Alpha Only)
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS provides a choice of two desktops: the New Desktop, which is derived from the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), and the traditional DECwindows desktop.
During the installation, if you choose to install both the New Desktop and the DECwindows desktop, you are asked which desktop you wish to be the default desktop.
To select the other desktop as the default desktop, perform the following steps.
$ COPY SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE - _$ SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM |
$ DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP == "TRUE" |
$ DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP == "FALSE" |
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART |
