This chapter contains information about managing the performance of your DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS software. It also describes how to add and remove DECwindows Motif files from your system disk using tailoring utilities. See Managing DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Systems for additional system management information.

The following topics are discussed in this chapter:

• Section 5.1, Customizing the DECwindows X11 Display Server Startup Procedure
• Section 5.2, Using the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR Utility (VMS Version 5.5--2 Only)
• Section 5.3, Adding DECwindows Base-Support Files
• Section 5.4, Determining and Reporting Problems

After you install the DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-5 for OpenVMS product, you can tune your system to enhance performance or to decrease the use of some system resources. For information about tuning your system, see Managing DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Systems.

5.1 Customizing the DECwindows X11 Display Server Startup Procedure

The DECwindows X11 display server manages the graphics devices on your workstation, such as the display, keyboard, and mouse.

The startup command procedures automatically determine most of the configuration parameters for the DECwindows X11 display server. However, the command procedures cannot determine some items, such as the following:

• Whether you have a 75-dpi or 100-dpi monitor
• Whether you have a North American keyboard layout (such as for an LK201--AA or --LA or an LK401--AA or --LA keyboard)
• Whether the DECwindows X11 display server uses only DECnet for OpenVMS software and local transports
• Whether the DECwindows X11 display server logs both successful and unsuccessful connect and disconnect messages to the DECW$SERVER_n_ERROR.LOG file

To ensure that the DECwindows X11 display server is set up correctly, modify the server startup file as follows:

1. Make a copy of the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE and rename it to SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM. This server startup file shows how to customize individual workstations by adding a section of DCL commands for each workstation. You can add setup options in either of two sections in the server startup file. Setup options added to the Cluster Common or Standalone Workstation Setup section affect all nodes in a cluster. Setup options added to the Cluster Member Workstation-Specific Setup section affect only individual nodes. If you add a workstation-specific option, you must also update the variable node_list.
2. If your screen supports 100 dots-per-inch, add the following line:

   $ DECW$SERVER_DENSITY == "100"

   
   Add this line to the section for each workstation that has a 100 dots-per-inch monitor, or add it to the common section for all workstations (if all the workstations have 100-dpi monitors).

3. If you want the server to log successful connect and disconnect messages, add the following line:

   $ DECW$SERVER_CONNECT_LOG == "TRUE"

4. Add the following line to the section for monochrome GPX workstations:

   $ DECW$COLOR == "FALSE"

   
   No modification is necessary for grayscale (intensity) screens.

5. Add the following line to the section for workstations with keyboards that are not North American LK201 models:

   $ DECW$DEFAULT_KEYMAP == "xxxxx"

   
   In the previous line, replace xxxxx with the correct DECwindows keymap name. You can determine the correct name from the model number of your LK201 or LK401 keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down and look for a label that specifies the model number. The model number is in a format similar to LK201--xx or LK401--xx. The model number may also be listed as LK201 or LK401. In this case, the xx that you need is in another part of the label where there is a number that looks similar to the following:

   nn-nnnnn-xx

   
   Use the xx part of this number to choose a keymap name from Table 5-1. Choose the keymap ending in _DP for data-processing keyboard layout and the keymap ending in _TW for typewriter layout.
   Table 5-1 is arranged according to the dialect for which each keyboard is designed.
   After you choose a keymap name, modify the DECwindows X11 display server startup file. For example, to change the keyboard layout to a Dutch typewriter layout, add the following line to the DECwindows X11 display server startup file:

   $ DECW$DEFAULT_KEYBOARD_MAP == "DUTCH_LK201LH_TW"

   
   Add a similar line for each workstation that does not have a North American keyboard layout or add the line to the common section for all workstations (if all the workstations use the same keyboard layout).

6. Enter the following command to restart DECwindows Motif on the workstations for which you customized the server startup by using the following command:

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

5.2 Using the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR Utility (VMS Version 5.5--2 Only)

Use the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR utility to remove DECwindows Motif files from the system disk (for example, support files for the Toolkit, applications, and programming). If you later decide that you want DECwindows Motif programming support, add the files to the system disk by reinstalling the system. See Section 5.3 for information about adding files.

The DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR process includes two phases:

• The first phase lists each class of DECwindows Motif files and asks whether you want to delete the class from the system disk.
• The second phase deletes the files you indicated from the system disk.

Table 5-2 lists the classes (or groups) and subclasses of DECwindows Motif files that you can delete using the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR utility. For a list of DECwindows Motif files and their descriptions and classes, see Appendix C.

Table 5-2 Classes of OpenVMS Files That Can Be Removed with the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR Utility

Class	Subclass	Description
VMS DECwindows run-time support	No subclasses in this tailor class	DECwindows Motif run-time support.
VMS DECwindows CDA support	No subclasses in this tailor class	DECwindows Motif CDA support.
VMS DECwindows Motif applications files	DECwindows Motif computer-based instruction (CBI)	The DECwindows Motif applications files provide a variety of applications.
DECwindows Motif C programming support files	No subclasses in this tailor class	DECwindows Motif C programming support files are needed only to develop applications and are not required to run DECwindows Motif applications. These files are provided for programming in the C language using conventions and standards developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
DECwindows FORTRAN programming support files	No subclasses in this tailor class	FORTRAN support files are provided for this programming language. The files are needed only to develop applications and are not required to run DECwindows Motif applications.
DECwindows Pascal programming support files	No subclasses in this tailor class	Pascal support files are provided for this programming language. The files are needed only to develop applications and are not required to run DECwindows Motif applications.
DECwindows Motif example files	No subclasses in this tailor class	DECwindows Motif example files.
Sound editor support files	No subclasses in this tailor class	Sound-editor support files.
NCSA Mosaic	No subclasses in this tailor class	NCSA Mosaic web browser.

Removing DECwindows Motif Files from the System Disk

To remove DECwindows Motif files from the system disk, do the following:

1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
2. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

   $ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR

   
   After a brief overview, the DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR utility lists each group, or class, of files and its size in blocks. Files are grouped according to their function. For example, all the files required for DECwindows for OpenVMS device support are in one class. A file class is made up of many small subclasses. You can eliminate an entire class of files, or you can eliminate one or more of its subclasses. For example:

   CLASS - VMS DECwindows Motif applications files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 12181 Size of common files required for any subclass: 11160 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? Do you wish to select any of its subclasses (default = NO)? . . .

3. Decide which file classes or subclasses you do not need to support your system. The DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR utility displays step-by-step instructions. Follow these instructions to specify which of the classes or subclasses you want to remove.
4. The DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR utility deletes the files you select and displays the names of those files.

You can ignore "file not found" messages in the log files; tailoring functions are not affected by these messages. The installation procedure deletes files that it does not read.

Example 5-1 shows how to use DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR to remove files from a system disk.

Example 5-1 Sample DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR Session

$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR . . . TAILOR-OFF ---------- You will now be prompted with a list of the classes and subclasses of DECwindows 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 remove a class or subclass from your system. Under some classes there is a set of common files that is required in order for any subclasses to work. These files will only be deleted if you remove the ENTIRE class. If you choose to keep any subclass, this set of files is not deleted. NOTE: The files associated with selected classes and subclasses will be removed from your system. Total size of the system disk is 2050860 blocks. Total space used on the system disk is 684720 blocks. Total space left on the system disk is 1366140 blocks.
