Rev10_7_2 Release
1. Overview
The Rational X Interface (RXI) allows users to access the
Rational Environment through their Ethernet from any of the
supported workstation or X terminal platforms.
The Rev10_7_2 release of the Rational X Interface supports the
following platforms:
* Apollo - DN3000 with Type 3 or Motif-compliant keyboards.
* DEC - all VMS platforms using MultiNet or Wollongong TCP/IP
software.
* Hewlett-Packard - 9000 series 300/800.
* IBM - RISC System/6000.
* NCD - NCD16 and NCD19 hosted by any other supported platform.
* Sun - workstation models: 3, 4, and SPARC.
See the Configurations section below for a complete listing of
supported workstation/X-terminal hardware configurations.
This is the first production release of the IBM RISC System/6000
support.
This is the first production release of the Apollo support.
Installation instructions for RXI may be found in the Rational X
Interface Rev10_7_2 Installation Procedures document(s).
2. Configurations
Rev10_7_2 is compatible with Rational Environment versions
D_10_20_0 or later. However, a small number of key bindings will
not be available under D_10_20_0; these pertain to Environment
commands that did not exist prior to D_11_4_2.
2.1. Apollo
RXI was built and tested under DOMAIN SR 10.2 using the BSD UNIX
interfaces. It should operate correctly on any DOMAIN platform.
It requires:
* DOMAIN SR 10.2, or later.
* BSD interfaces.
* Standard type 3 keyboard, or the modified, Motif-compliant
type 3 keyboard.
R 11/07/90 1\f
Rational X Interface Release Information
DOMAIN, the BSD interfaces, and TCP/IP must be installed and
running before RXI can be successfully installed.
X Windows must be installed but need not be actually running
before RXI can be successfully installed.
RXI can be installed in three ways under DOMAIN:
A binary installation simply installs the Rational-supplied RXI
executables on the workstation.
An object module installation relinks RXI with local shared
libraries for increased runtime efficiency.
A full source installation recompiles RXI from the C sources.
2.2. Digital Equipment Corporation
RXI is built and tested on a VAXstation 3100. It should operate
correctly on any VMS platform. It requires:
* VMS 5.1B, or later.
* DECwindows 5.1, or later.
* DEC standard LK201 keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
* Either of:
- Excelan MultiNet version 2.0.3-D, or later.
- Wollongong WIN/TCP version 5.0.2, or later.
VMS must be installed and running before RXI can be successfully
installed.
MultiNet or WIN/TCP must be installed and running before RXI can
be successfully installed.
DECwindows must be installed but need not be actually running
before RXI can be successfully installed.
RXI can be installed in three ways on VMS:
A binary installation simply installs the Rational-supplied RXI
executables on the VMS platform.
An object module installation relinks RXI with local shared
libraries for increased runtime efficiency.
A full source installation recompiles RXI from the C sources.
2 11/07/90 R\f
Rev10_7_2 Release
Both the object module and the full source installation require a
C license from DEC. The binary installation may be performed
without a C license. RXI can be installed as a sharable image
using DEC's Install facility; this decreases the overall memory
requirements when running multiple copies of RXI on one platform.
2.3. Hewlett-Packard
RXI is built and tested on an HP 9000 series 300. It should
operate correctly on any HP 9000 platform. It requires:
* HP-UX 7.0, or later.
* HP's X Window System release 11 version 2, or later.
* Model 46021A keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
HP-UX must be installed and running before RXI can be
successfully installed.
The X Window System must be installed but need not be actually
running before RXI can be successfully installed.
RXI can be installed in three ways on HP-UX:
A binary installation simply installs the Rational-supplied RXI
executables on the 9000 platform.
An object module installation relinks RXI with local shared
libraries for increased runtime efficiency.
A full source installation recompiles RXI from the C sources.
2.4. IBM
RXI is built and tested on a RISC System/6000 model 530. It
should operate correctly on any RISC System/6000 platform. It
requires:
* AIX 3.1, or later.
* AIXwindows version 3.1, or later.
* IBM standard PC keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
AIX must be installed and running before RXI can be successfully
installed.
AIXwindows must be installed but need not be actually running
before RXI can be successfully installed.
R 11/07/90 3\f
Rational X Interface Release Information
RXI can be installed in three ways on AIX:
A binary installation simply installs the Rational-supplied RXI
executables on the RISC platform.
An object module installation relinks RXI with local shared
libraries for increased runtime efficiency.
A full source installation recompiles RXI from the C sources.
The IBM X-120 X terminal is also a supported platform. The X-120
keyboard is physically identical to the RS/6000 keyboard. In
addition, the software keyboard translation tables within the X
server for the RS/6000 and the X server for the X-120 are
sufficiently close that the XR6US terminal type on the R1000 is
used for both keyboards.
2.5. NCD
RXI supports the NCD as yet-another-keyboard attached to any
supported workstation platform. RXI is installed for an NCD by
installing the NCD-specific files on an R1000 and then by
installing the appropriate workstation files on some host
workstation. RXI actually runs on the host workstation and the
RXI window and menus appear on the NCD screen.
The only difference between RXI on a platform and RXI on an NCD
hosted by that same platform is the type and layout of the
keyboard.
RXI supports the NCD16 and NCD19 terminals using the NCD101
keyboard.
The NCD terminal must be installed and fully operational before
RXI can be successfully installed.
2.6. Sun Microsystems
RXI is built and tested on a Sun model 3/6 and on a Sun SPARC.
It should operate correctly on any model 3, 4, or SPARC platform.
It requires:
* SunOS 4.1, or later.
* Either of:
- X Window System from MIT, version 11, release 3, 4, or
later.
- X11/NeWS version 2.0, or later.
* Model 3 or model 4 keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
4 11/07/90 R\f
Rev10_7_2 Release
SunOS must be installed and running before RXI can be
successfully installed.
The windowing system must be installed but need not be actually
running before RXI can be successfully installed.
RXI can be installed in three ways on SunOS:
A binary installation simply installs the Rational-supplied RXI
executables on the Sun platform.
An object module installation relinks RXI with local shared
libraries for increased runtime efficiency.
A full source installation recompiles RXI from the C sources.
3. Compatibility
Rev10_7_2 is fully compatible with Rational Environment version
D_12_1_1 and later.
Rev10_7_2 is fully compatible with Rational Envrionment version
D_10_20_0 although the keybindings for optional products are only
available if the optional products are available for D_10_20_0.
The IBM PC/RT running AIX 2.2 is no longer a supported platform.
4. Upgrade Impact
Rev10_7_2 of RXI completely replaces all previous versions for
all platforms. Installation will replace all existing files and
programs. Any local customizations that may have been performed
will be overwritten by the new files and programs.
5. Known Problems
The Motif window manager requires most Meta function keys for its
own use. A Meta function key is any function key that is pressed
while the Meta key is also pressed.
This means that user applications (RXI included) cannot use M_F1,
M_F2, etc. The HP 9000 and IBM RISC System/6000 versions of RXI
are configured to be usable under Motif. This means that the
R1000 keymaps for these configurations do not have any Rational
Environment functions bound to the Meta function keys.
6. New Features
The IBM RISC System/6000 and the X-120 X terminal are new
platforms with this release.
R 11/07/90 5\f
Rational X Interface Release Information
Apollo DOMAIN SR 10.2 is a new platform with this release.
7. Changes
Some problems with the XDECUS/LK201 keymap (VMS) have been fixed.
Certain keys on the keyboard do not transmit when pressed in
conjunction with various combinations of the Shift/Meta/Control
keys. Functions bound to those key combinations have been
deleted or moved to other bindings. This includes all
Control-Meta-Shift combinations; the keyboard refuses to transmit
all three modifier keys simultaneously. Future releases of the
DEC hardware will fix this problem and the keys will become
available at that time.
Some of the command line switches did not work under
VMS/DECwindows under RXI release 10_5_2. This has been fixed in
10_7_2.
