When you upgraded the OpenVMS VAX operating system, the procedure executed AUTOGEN to set the values of system parameters and the sizes of the page and swap files according to the system's workload.
In many cases, AUTOGEN can improve system performance by using dynamic feedback information from the running system. As a postinstallation task, you should run AUTOGEN again using the feedback mechanism to make further adjustments to system parameters.
When AUTOGEN runs after an upgrade, it uses the parameter values in SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT. Note that hardcoded values in MODPARAMS.DAT affect AUTOGEN's calculations of the feedback parameters. For AUTOGEN to properly calculate minimum values, you should replace the hardcoded values in MODPARAMS.DAT with MIN_ values. The MIN_ prefix specifies the minimum value to which a parameter can be set by AUTOGEN.
If you are not satisfied with the parameter settings calculated by AUTOGEN, you can modify the parameter values by editing MODPARAMS.DAT as explained in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.
After you have upgraded the operating system, run AUTOGEN again using the following procedure:
For the VAX 9000 computer, AUTOGEN's initial parameter calculations are conservative. To obtain parameter values that match your system workload, you can run AUTOGEN in feedback mode a number of times. For more information, refer to the upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX 9000 computer. |
For information about using AUTOGEN, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.
8.19 Postupgrade Checklist
Use the following checklist to make sure you perform all the necessary postupgrade tasks.
This chapter describes how you can customize DECwindows support software. The DECwindows components provided on the OpenVMS VAX kit supply DECwindows base support and workstation support files only. If you have not installed either of these DECwindows components on your system, skip this chapter.
Depending on your configuration, DECwindows customization tasks include the following:
Note that the OpenVMS VAX operating system no longer includes the VMS
DECwindows product. To get full DECwindows support, you must also
install the separate DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX layered product, which supports both
the Motif and XUI environments.
9.1 Customizing the Server Startup
By default, the DECwindows server no longer logs successful
connect/disconnect messages to the DECW$SERVER_#_ERROR.LOG file. To
enable these messages, define the symbol DECW$SERVER_CONNECT_LOG in the
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file to be "T" and restart the server.
Note that abnormal or unsuccessful connect/disconnect messages are
still logged by the server.
9.1.1 Assumptions
The startup command procedures automatically determine most of the configuration variables for the DECwindows display server. However, there are items that the command procedures cannot determine, so they make the following assumptions:
If any of these assumptions is incorrect, you must override them as follows:
$ DECW$SERVER_DENSITY == "100" |
$ DECW$SERVER_DENSITY == "75" |
$ DECW$COLOR == "FALSE" $ DECW$BITONAL == "FALSE" |

After you start the server, a per-server logical name table is created
on your system but is not added to the default logical name table
search lists.
9.2 Using Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
DECwindows contains support for the TCP/IP transport. This support requires Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, a Compaq layered product. Before you can use the DECwindows TCP/IP transport interface, you must install Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS.
Other vendors' implementation of TCP/IP transports use different call interfaces. For this reason, DECwindows support for TCP/IP is compatible only with Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. |
You can conserve memory and process slots by configuring Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software for the minimum DECwindows requirement to support the X protocol. DECwindows only requires that INET_ACP be running. DECwindows does not require that the NFS server, the FTPD server, or the remote terminal servers be running.
For more information about TCP/IP concepts, refer to the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS documentation. For information about how to configure the TCP/IP software, refer to the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration manual.
Documentation for Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is included on the OpenVMS Online
Documentation CD-ROM. Hardcopy documentation must be purchased
separately.
9.3 Using Other Transports with DECwindows
DECwindows supports DECnet--Plus, local, and TCP/IP transports. However, you can use other transports, such as new transports for layered products and transports from third-party vendors, with DECwindows by writing a DECwindows transport interface layer.
