For information about writing a transport interface, refer to the VMS DECwindows Transport Manual.
The transport interface image's file name must have the following format where name is the unique transport name:
DECW$TRANSPORT_name (for transports supplied by Compaq)
DECW_TRANSPORT_name (for customer-written transports)
9.3.2 Installing the Transport Interface Image
Install the image as a protected image in the SYS$SHARE directory (as defined by an executive mode logical name). Compaq recommends that you install the image by adding the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
$ INSTALL CREATE SYS$SHARE:DECW_TRANSPORT_name/OPEN/SHARED- /HEADER_RESIDENT/PROTECTED |
You can also include this command in a startup file that SYSTARTUP_VMS calls.
To use this transport with the DECwindows server, customize the server
startup as described in Section 9.1.
9.4 Using the Example Transport
DECwindows has an example transport interface based on the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS layered product. It is similar to the DECwindows TCP/IP transport interface, except it includes its own source files and it uses a different port number (5000). You can run the example transport interface simultaneously with the TCP/IP transport interface.
If you have installed Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software, you can install and use the example transport by doing the following:
$ COPY DECW$EXAMPLES:DECW$TRANSPORT_EXAMPLE.EXE SYS$SHARE:/PROT=W:RE |
$ INSTALL CREATE SYS$SHARE:DECW$TRANSPORT_EXAMPLE /OPEN /SHARED- /HEADER_RESIDENT /PROTECTED |
$ DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP,EXAMPLE" |
$ SET DISPLAY /CREATE /NODE=your_node /TRANSPORT=EXAMPLE |
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK |
This chapter describes how to add (tailor on) or remove (tailor off)
optional OpenVMS VAX files and DECwindows support files from your
system disk using VMSTAILOR and DECW$TAILOR. You will need your
OpenVMS VAX software media kit to tailor on files. Any site-specific
customization that has been done to a class will be lost when that
class is tailored off.
10.1 Using VMSTAILOR
To add or remove unwanted OpenVMS VAX files from the system disk, use
VMSTAILOR. For example, if you are not running DECnet for OpenVMS, and you
do not need the network support files, you can remove those files using
VMSTAILOR. If you later decide you want to run DECnet for OpenVMS, you can
add the necessary files at any time using VMSTAILOR and your
OpenVMS VAX distribution media. (Note that you cannot tailor files on
or off an alternate device.)
10.1.1 How VMSTAILOR Works
VMSTAILOR has three phases:
The following is a list of classes and subclasses of OpenVMS VAX files that can be added or deleted by using VMSTAILOR. For a complete list of OpenVMS VAX files and their functions, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.

To remove unwanted files using VMSTAILOR, perform the following steps:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:VMSTAILOR |
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? |
CLASS - Network support Size of entire class (with subclasses): 1499 Size of common files required for any subclass: 1249 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? . . . |
To cancel VMSTAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling VMSTAILOR during the third phase can cause a partially tailored disk. For a description of each phase, see Section 10.1.1. |
To add optional OpenVMS VAX files that you previously removed, or that you chose not to install during the OpenVMS VAX installation procedure, do the following:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:VMSTAILOR |
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? |
CLASS - Network support Size of entire class (with subclasses): 1499 Size of common files required for any subclass: 1249 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? . . . |
To cancel VMSTAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling VMSTAILOR during the third phase can cause a partially tailored disk. For a description of each phase, see Section 10.1.1. |
After adding files to the system disk, apply any updates that affect them. OpenVMS VAX update procedures create a .TXT file that contains a description of patched files. This file usually has the following format: SYS$UPDATE:VMSUn06n.TXT.
For example, assume that you do not need the OpenVMS Phone utility
(PHONE) and you run VMSTAILOR to remove those files. Later, you decide
you want to use Phone. Run VMSTAILOR to return the Phone files to the
system disk; then, apply any OpenVMS VAX update that has occurred
since Version 7.3 that affected the Phone utility.
10.1.4 Sample Session
Example 10-1 shows how to add all Network Support files and selected Programming Support files to a system disk.

$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:VMSTAILOR . . . Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? ON TAILOR-ON --------- You will now be prompted with a list of the classes and subclasses of OpenVMS Vax files that are optional. The size of each class and subclass is included in the list. This will help you decide whether or not you want to add a class or subclass to your system. Under some classes, there is a set of common files that is required in order for any subclasses to work. These files are added when you ask for either the entire class or any of its subclasses. Total size of the system disk is 2376153 blocks. Total space used on the system disk is 2241252 blocks. Total space left on the system disk is 134901 blocks. CLASS - Network support Size of entire class (with subclasses): 1499 Size of common files required for any subclass: 1249 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)?

You can use DECW$TAILOR to add or remove some or all DECwindows X11 display server, base support, and fonts files from the system disk. For example, if you are not planning to use the DECwindows PEX (PHIGS Extensions to X) support, you can remove those files. Later, if you decide you want DECwindows programming support, you can add the files to the system disk using DECW$TAILOR and your DECwindows distribution media. You cannot tailor files on or off an alternate device.
To add or remove DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX files, refer to the DECwindows Motif Version 1.2--3 for OpenVMS Installation Guide. DECW$TAILOR will only tailor on or off those DECwindows display server, base support, and font files, with the exception of the required files, supplied on the OpenVMS VAX kit. |
DECW$TAILOR has three phases:
The following is a list of classes and subclasses of DECwindows files that you can add or delete using DECW$TAILOR. For a list of DECwindows files and their functions, see Appendix E.
If you tailor device support files ON or OFF, the system reboots. |
To remove DECwindows files from the system disk, do the following:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR |
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? |
CLASS - DECwindows workstation support files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 14301 Size of common files required for any subclass: 8937 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? . . . |
To cancel DECW$TAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling DECW$TAILOR during the third phase can cause a partially tailored disk. For a description of each phase, see Section 10.2.1. |
To install DECwindows device support and font files after the OpenVMS VAX installation or to add optional DECwindows files that you previously chose not to install or that you removed, do the following:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR |
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? |
CLASS - DECwindows workstation support files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 14301 Size of common files required for any subclasses: 8937 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? . . . |
To cancel DECW$TAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling DECW$TAILOR during the third phase can cause a partially tailored disk. For a description of each phase, see Section 10.2.1. |
After adding files to the system disk, apply any updates that affect them. For example, suppose you delete the Version 7.3 DECwindows 100 dots/inch video font files. Later on, you are able to use the 100 dots/inch fonts, so you run DECW$TAILOR to return the files to the system disk. You must then apply any OpenVMS VAX update that has occurred since Version 7.3 that affected the 100 dots/inch video font files. OpenVMS VAX update procedures create a .TXT file that contains a description of modified files. This file is usually named with the following format: SYS$UPDATE:VMSUn05n.TXT1.
1 Examine this file to determine if the update patched the 100 dots/inch font files. |
