Leslie,
Thanks for the info. The situation I'm in is a customer is wanting to open
a read only map from his Windows NT desktop machine. He can use the web
interface to get to it, but he is wanting to open it using the Tivoli
Desktop option. He was trying to open up the map by just running the Tivoli
desktop and selecting start user interface. Your information helped us
confirm he needs an X emulator.

Subject: Re: Opening up NetView
You can run into some interesting situations trying to do this. What
is yours? As a general rule, 1) if the Desktop is a Tivoli Windows Desktop,
you must also be running an X emulator on that PC. If it is a Unix desktop
on
a PC, then by definition you must have an X emulator running on the PC.
And 2) if the Netview server is not the TMR server, you must walk over to
the
console of the TMR server and issue an 'xhost +'. Don't ask me why.
Cordially,

Has anyone tried to open up a NetView session using the Start User
Interface
option from a Tivoli Desktop from another machine other than the NetView
Server?
