Release10_9_0 Release
#
1. Overview
The Rational X Interface (RXI) allows users to access the
Rational Environment via their Ethernet from any of the supported
workstation or X terminal platforms.
The Release10_9_0 release of the Rational X Interface supports
the following platforms:
* Apollo - DN3000
* DEC - all VMS platforms using MultiNet or Wollongong TCP/IP
software.
* DEC - ULTRIX 4.1 for the DECstation or the VAXstation
architectures.
* 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 (68K 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 DEC ULTRIX support.
Installation instructions for RXI may be found in the Rational X
Interface Release10_9_0 Installation Procedures document(s).
#
2. Configurations
Release10_9_0 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_12_1_1.
#
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:
R 03/29/91 1\f
Rational X Interface Release Information
* Domain SR 10.2.
* BSD interfaces.
* Standard type 3 keyboard, or the modified MOTIF compliant type
3 keyboard.
Domain, the BSD interfaces, and TCP/IP 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 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
2.2.1. DEC VMS
RXI for VMS is built and tested on a VAXstation 3100. It should
operate correctly on any VMS platform. It requires:
* VMS 5.1B, 5.2 and 5.3.
* DECwindows 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
* DEC standard LK201 keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
* Either of:
- Excelan MultiNet version 2.0.3-D.
- Wollongong WIN/TCP version 5.0.2.
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.
2 03/29/91 R\f
Release10_9_0 Release
2.2.2. DEC ULTRIX
RXI for ULTRIX is built and tested on both a DECstation 3100 and
a VAXstation 3100. It should operate correctly on any DECstation
or Vax platform. It requires:
* ULTRIX 4.1.
* DECwindows for ULTRIX 4.1.
* DEC standard LK201 keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
ULTRIX and TCP/IP must be installed and running before RXI can be
successfully installed.
2.2.3. Installation Options
RXI can be installed in three ways on VMS or ULTRIX:
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.
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.
* HP's X Window System release 11 version 2.
* Model 46021A keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
HP-UX must be installed and running before RXI can be
successfully installed.
R 03/29/91 3\f
Rational X Interface Release Information
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.
* AIXwindows version 3.1.
* 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.
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.
#
4 03/29/91 R\f
Release10_9_0 Release
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.
* Either of:
- X Window System from MIT, version 11, release 3 or 4.
- X11/NeWS version 2.0.
* Model 3 or model 4 keyboard; other keyboards are not presently
supported.
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
Release10_9_0 is fully compatible with Rational Environment
version D_12_1_1.
Release10_9_0 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
Release10_9_0 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 the 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.
On Apollo systems, if the X server is configured using a DM-owned
root window, the server must be started using a -K switch that
provides the X server will full visibility to all of the "gray"
keys. The R1000 keymaps for the Apollo assume that these keys
will be available for use with RXI. Without them the keymap's
usefulness is reduced.
#
6. New Features
ULTRIX 4.1 on DECstation and VAXstation architectures is now
supported. Earlier version of ULTRIX are no longer supported.
