The installation command procedure checks to ensure that adequate values are allocated for the system parameters shown in Table 1-5 and Table 1-6. If your system values are sufficient, the installation procedure continues. If any of the values are insufficient, the procedure abandons the installation and instructs you to run AUTOGEN and then restart the installation. On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the procedure displays messages similar to the following:
Checking values of system parameters...
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter GBLSECTIONS is 380, should be at least 600
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, Free GBLSECTIONS is 15, should be at least 260
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter GBLPAGES is 120000, should be at least 150000
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter NPAGEDYN is 1294336, should be at least 1998848
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter CLISYMTBL is 265, should be at least 512
The installation procedure has determined that some system parameter values
require modification to install the DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 for
OpenVMS software.
Please type the following command to run AUTOGEN and reboot your system
before restarting the DECwindows installation. This will set the system
parameters to appropriate values for running DECwindows Motif Version 1.3.
@SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK
The DECwindows installation is being terminated.
Please run AUTOGEN and restart the installation.
%PCSI-E-S_OPFAIL, operation failed
%PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error condition
|
If the installation procedure has prompted you to run AUTOGEN to correct your system values, enter the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK |
The system runs AUTOGEN and produces a log similar to the following example:
%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, GETDATA phase is beginning.
%AUTOGEN-I-NEWFILE, Previous contents of SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.DAT have
been copied to SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.OLD. You may wish to purge
SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.OLD.
%AUTOGEN-I-NEWFILE, A new version of SYS$SYSTEM:PARAMS.DAT has been created.
You may wish to purge this file.
%AUTOGEN-I-END, GETDATA phase has successfully completed.
%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, GENPARAMS phase is beginning.
%AUTOGEN-I-NEWFILE, A new version of SYS$MANAGER:VMSIMAGES.DAT has been created.
You may wish to purge this file.
%AUTOGEN-I-NEWFILE, A new version of SYS$SYSTEM:SETPARAMS.DAT has been created.
You may wish to purge this file.
%AUTOGEN-I-END, GENPARAMS phase has successfully completed.
%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, GENFILES phase is beginning.
%AUTOGEN-I-REPORT, AUTOGEN has produced some informational messages which
have been stored in the file SYS$SYSTEM:AGEN$PARAMS.REPORT. You may
wish to review the information in that file.

%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, SETPARAMS phase is beginning.
%AUTOGEN-I-SYSGEN, parameters modified
%AUTOGEN-I-END, SETPARAMS phase has successfully completed.
%AUTOGEN-I-BEGIN, REBOOT phase is beginning.
The system is shutting down to allow the system to boot with the
generated site-specific parameters and installed images.
The system will automatically reboot after the shutdown and the
upgrade will be complete.
SHUTDOWN -- Perform an Orderly System Shutdown
on node MYNODE
|
You can now restart the installation procedure (see Section 2.3.1).
2.3.2.3 Saving the Programming Environment
The installation procedure checks whether the OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming environment exists on your system. If it is present, the installation procedure displays the following information and asks whether you want to save the OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming environment:
The DECwindows Motif programming environment was installed with a previous version of this kit. This environment is incompatible with the OSF/Motif Release 1.2 environment provided with DECwindows Motif Version V1.3-0. The XUI programming environment is also not included in DECwindows Motif Version 1.3. If you intend to continue developing programs for XUI or OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3, then save this environment. Please refer to the installation guide for more details and information on accessing these files in their new location. If you do not choose to save the XUI and OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming environment, those files will be removed from the system disk. Save the OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI programming environment? |
If you answer Yes and press the Return key to save the OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI programming environment, a subdirectory called [.DECW$113] is created. The files that support that programming environment are moved to the [.DECW$113] subdirectory.
If you answer No and press the Return key, the files are deleted.
Refer to Section 1.5 for information about accessing files related to
the OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming environment.
2.3.2.4 Default Installation
Next, the dialog asks if you want the default installation. On systems with no previous DECwindows Motif installation, the installation procedure installs all options that apply to your hardware platform. On systems with a previous DECwindows Motif installation, the installation procedure installs all options selected during the previous installation. Any options not present in the installed version are installed according to the defaults for those options in Version 1.3.
Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES] |
The remainder of this chapter assumes that you answer No to this
question.
2.3.2.5 Installation of Server Software
The installation proceeds with an important warning about the DECwindows Motif server patch about to be installed by the installation procedure.
DECwindows Motif V1.3-0 cannot be uninstalled.
The DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha Version 1.3 software
upgrade also updates certain images that are part of the OpenVMS Alpha
operating system. Removing the DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 product
(using PRODUCT REMOVE) does not restore the operating system
images to their proper state.
To revert to a previous version of DECwindows Motif, you must first
reinstall the OpenVMS Alpha operating system and then install the
appropriate version of DECwindows Motif.
Be sure that you want to install the DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 software
before proceeding.
Do you want to continue? [YES]
|
Note that the server patch is always installed with DECwindows Motif. The
question in this section asks if you want to continue with the product
installation, not if you want to install the server software.
2.3.2.6 Euro Currency Sign Support
The dialog asks if you want to install support for the Euro currency sign.
This option provides Euro sign support for Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha Version 1.3. After installing the option and performing the setup process, you can enter and display the Euro sign. Install the DECwindows Motif Euro sign support [NO] |
See the HP DECwindows Motif for HP OpenVMS Alpha New Features manual for more information about the Euro option.
2.3.2.7 LBX Proxy Installation
Following the server installation, the dialog asks if you want to install the Low-Bandwidth X (LBX) proxy option.
The LBX proxy reduces the overall network bandwidth required for
client-to-server communications. The LBX proxy can be installed as a standalone
option or in conjunction with the DECwindows Motif client software.
Install Low Bandwidth X (LBX) Support [YES]
|
See the HP DECwindows Motif for HP OpenVMS Alpha New Features manual for more information about the LBX feature.
2.3.2.8 Selecting Installation of Client Software
Next, the installation procedure asks if you want to install the client software:
Install the DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 client software? [YES] |
Answer Yes if you intend to run any programs requiring a DECwindows display, either on this system or on any remote system.
If you answer No, skip to Section 2.3.2.12.
If you answer Yes, the dialog asks if you want the default client installation:
Do you want the defaults for all suboptions? [YES] |
Answer Yes if you want to take all the defaults for the client
installation. If you answer Yes, skip to Section 2.3.2.12. If you answer
No, proceed to Section 2.3.2.9.
2.3.2.9 Asking About Selecting a Desktop
The installation procedure displays information about the New Desktop and traditional DECwindows desktop. You can elect to install one of the desktops or both desktops. If you elect to install the New Desktop, the dialog asks whether the New Desktop should be the default desktop.
The New Desktop is a graphical user interface that is derived from the
Common Desktop Environment (CDE). It offers the following features not
available with the traditional DECwindows desktop:
o Multiple workspaces for greater flexibility in managing windows on
the screen.
o An icon-based File Manager to make it easier to manipulate files
from the graphical user interface.
o Enhanced support for the drag-and-drop feature, which is fully
supported in the new File Manager and Application Manager
applications.
o New Image Viewer and Icon Editor applications.
Both the New Desktop and the DECwindows desktop provide the same underlying
X and Motif libraries and the same DECterm, Bookreader, Mail, and Calendar
applications.
Install New Desktop [YES]
The manual pages provide online help text for New Desktop
functions. If installed they can be viewed using the man
page viewer from the Application Manager.
Install Manual (reference) pages for the New Desktop [YES]
If the New Desktop is the default, the new login box will be used and
the user has the option at login to use either the New or the traditional
desktop.
If the New Desktop is not the default, the traditional login box will be
used and only the traditional desktop will be available.
You can change the default desktop by editing the file
[SYSMGR]DECW$DEFAULT_DESKTOP.COM and restarting DECwindows.
Make the New Desktop the default desktop [YES]
The traditional DECwindows Desktop is that provided since Version 1.2 of
DECwindows. If both new and traditional desktops are installed the user
can select which to run when logging in.
Install traditional DECwindows Desktop [YES]
|
See Section 3.4 for instructions about how to change the choice of
desktop after the installation has completed.
2.3.2.10 Programming Language Support Options
Next, the dialog asks you which programming languages you want to install and whether you want to install the programming examples.
The installation procedure uses the following dialog:
Headers and related files to support programs in C that will use the
DECwindows libraries.
Programming Support for the C Language [YES]
Include files to support programs in Pascal that will use the
DECwindows libraries.

The dialog now prompts you to install Translated Image Support (TIS), which enables VAX programs to work in the Alpha environment. Note that TIS support is only available for the traditional DECwindows desktop environment.
Translated image support allows programs translated from the VAX environment to work in the Alpha environment with the DECwindows libraries. Translated image support is not available for the New Desktop. Translated Image Support [YES] |
The dialog now displays a warning about the need to update any language variants. You should not install DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 unless you will also install DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 language variants for all the languages that you want to use.
If a Local Language Variant is installed, refer to the Installation Guide. If you have a language variant of DECwindows Motif installed, then you must upgrade to the version for DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 after completing this installation and before rebooting the system. A failure to do so could prevent DECwindows from starting. If there is no local language variant upgrade available for DECwindows Motif Version 1.3, then you should remove the local language variant before installing DECwindows Motif Version 1.3. Do you want to continue? [YES] |
The dialog gives you a chance to review the options you have selected during the installation dialog.

The installation procedure verifies that DECwindows Motif applications and run-time support files are installed on the operating system (for example, transport and font files, which are required for running DECwindows Motif software).
**** DECwindows Motif application and run-time support files DETECTED **** |
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the files are always installed.
Next, the installation procedure checks for the presence of support files that are needed to use the system as a workstation or as a workstation boot server. If the support files are installed, the following message is displayed:
**** DECwindows device support files DETECTED **** |
If the files are not installed, users are warned with the following message that their systems cannot be a workstation or a workstation boot server:
The DECwindows device support files for using this machine as a workstation
or as a boot node for workstations have not been installed.
You can use the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to change the
options selected when the OpenVMS Alpha software was installed.
See the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility User's Guide for more
information. To add the support files and the 75DPI and/or the 100DPI font
files using the DECwindows save sets which are shipped with the OpenVMS
kit, use the PRODUCT RECONFIGURE command as follows:
$ PRODUCT RECONFIGURE VMS
You should add the "Support for DECwindows" subclass in the Utilities
class.
|
The installation procedure then asks the following question:
Do you wish to continue with this installation without the workstation support? |
If you answer No (default) and press the Return key, the installation is stopped. Add the necessary support files. Once you install the necessary support files, restart the installation procedure.
If you answer Yes and press the Return key, the installation continues.
2.3.2.16 Reviewing Final Installation Notes
If the installation is successful, the dialog displays a list of all products installed and removed. Finally, the procedure displays additional installation notes for the DECwindows Motif product.

System reboot is required.
If using a language variant, reboot after upgrade of language variant.
A system reboot is required to install the new DECwindows Motif
images. If this is a new installation you should execute AUTOGEN using
the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK
This command adjusts your system parameters and reboots the system.
If you wish to use DECwindows with any language other than English,
install the appropriate DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 language
variant product before using AUTOGEN or rebooting the system.
Installation Verification Procedure can be run after reboot.
Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) after the installation
is completed and the system is rebooted. The IVP is located in the
following directory: SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP.COM.
|
An error during installation can occur if one or more of the following conditions exists:
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.
If the installation procedure fails for any reason, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility displays a message similar to the following:
%PCSIUI-INSFAIL, The installation of DECwindows Motif Version 1.3 for OpenVMS has failed. |
If the installation fails, fix the problem and restart the installation
procedure.
2.5 Adjusting Parameters After Installation
If you are simultaneously installing or upgrading the OpenVMS operating system with DECwindows from the CD-ROM, the installation procedure will will check the system parameters at this point (see Table 1-5 and Table 1-6).
You will not see this message if this is a new installation of DECwindows. |
When DECwindows Motif attempts to start after successful installation, you will see messages similar to the following:
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter GBLPAGES is 120000, should be at least 150000 %DECW-W-BADVALUE, Free GBLPAGES is 75040 should be at least 92000 %DECW-W_BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter CLISYMTBL is 256, should be at least 512 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 be run or cause a reboot but DECwindows will not start. Do you want the system to run AUTOGEN for you [YES] |
