Why needs RRC on Linux X Server running?


Belinda Spachta (53187) | asked Dec 15 '09, 1:14 a.m.
I can only start the RRC Server if my Putty Session has the Display variable set and on my PC the X-Server is running. Is this normal? RTC and RQM run without the mentioned variables, why cant RRC do the same?

In Catalina.out my error message says:
The application '<unknown>' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.

Same problem here using Websphere. We cannot even put the startup of RRC into the init.d scripts! After server reboot, we need to manually (!) use a special maintenance-only terminal server connection to fire up RRC and then we can disconnect again.
Note: Not that any window would actually come up on the display... Seems that RRC just needs the handle...

The error message here is:
Exception in thread "SWT Display Thread" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles

As I understand it, this is due to the image conversions that are performed on the server for the web ui.

ETA: Just to further clarify, by image conversions I'm referring to the process by which artifacts such as sketches, storyboards, process diagrams, etc are rendered on the web.

Hello, solved the problem for me, we have an Xvfb running so i set the Display variable in the server.startup file to the Xvfb display and now it works. Thanks for your replies.

Yes, sorry. There is a technote that describes this case:

Does anyone knows if this problem also concerns Rational Design Management 4.0. We are experiencing similar problems there....

I don't know, but given that DM is converting models to images, I suspect there is a chance that could be the same problem.
