Well, funny timing.  I just went through this on Windows 10 VM with CIS 6.

Hi All,

I’ve also had this problem.  Max D. has posted about setting up for firewalls (version 5.8.5 and later).  See any post by Max or check out https://usspvlclovertch2.infor.com/viewtopic.php?t=6908

Peter- some of the hanging is self-inflicted – using the Cygwin dll and the ‘local’ bash shell on my workstation is iffy on Windows network drives with large directories.  No doubt a symptom of anti-malware software.  For putty and X it seems fine.  Might behave differently with a “local install” vs, the portable .exe version.  Haven’t tried that yet.

2nd vote for PSPad and a mention for Notepad++ with the compare plugin.  Handy to compare Xlates right from the text editor.  The MobaXterm editor has a built in text editor with text comparison tool, too.  One of my associates would vote for UltraEdit, but alas, it’s not free 🙁

I like MobaXterm a lot.  

Cygwin type environment for bash, and X server too… that it includes Putty and Graphical FTP is a nice bonus.  I could only have one tool, it would be it.  But IMHO Putty is better for pure terminal (not as “batchy”) and WinSCP is better for graphical FTP.  If one of the mobaXterm tools hangs, the whole mobaXterm env can hang.

Another vote for Putty and MobaXterm.

MobaXterm’s X client is super simple, and has the nice feature of prompting for X clients to connect, instead of having to remember xhost …   I’ve also used Cygwin (hard to maintain because of the installer), and Xceed (no ssh in our licensed copies).

We have security server, so an X client connection is needed to set the ACLs.

Thanks Brenda!

Hi Donna – Infor has implied that on equivalent hardward (x86/x64) you will see around 20% improvement of performance running Linux instead of Windows.

I’ve been using this script for years.  Very handy.

[bill whatley]

I’ve used that script for a number of years, and it’s companion that goes the other way, works a charm – thanks Jim 😀

Kevin,

I see this error on both Win 7 and Win 10 running as admin.  Here is the detail from the error:

This is a decisive improvement over “stock”.  Second the vote to make it standard.

Adam,

I did a little more looking for this – the file that holds the window geometry (and other stuff) for version 5.8 is clide.ini.  Your mileage may vary, depending on OS, and how the GUI was installed, but mine is found in %USERPROFILE%.clideclide.ini.  As to why it doesn’t stick unless running as admin – that could be something with my PC.

That path is the same for the version 6.1.0 install I did.

Hi Adam,

Well, on closer inspection of the client.ini file itself, it sure doesn’t look like the sizing is there…  That file is touched when you change sites, etc., but not resizing the GUI window itself.  Other Clovertechers might know…

If you’re an administrator on your workstation, run hciaccess.exe as admin (right click the icon) to launch the GUI.  Resize it to size desired, then close it.  Run again, and the window size should stick.  That’s how I got around that problem.

Hi Adam,

The GUI remembers window geometry for the last closed window, provided the client’s ini file is enabled for read/write (this is an issue when running on Windows versions later than XP).  Check the install path for your GUI, in the client directory, file is client.ini.

Is this a shared workstation, or are you using RDP?  Those may be causing your problem.

Good luck

Thought I’d follow up with the missing piece and our final resolution.  In addition to the “[firewall]rmi_exported_server_port=clovprod” entry in server.ini, we had to add our AIX cluster’s LPAR hostnames (e.g., clusternode1 and clusternode2) to the ACL entries in hciaclrolemgr for the GUI to connect and authenticate successfully with the advanced security server.  We left our existing service names defined in the ACL config of the Security Server (e.g., clovprod and clovtest).   Support was very helpful in confirming that we could simply add the entries in hciaclrolemgr.

Evidently the security server stopped recognizing the “service name”  (or “virtual” server’s hostname) when we stopped assigning it as hostname in our startup scripts.  We are still able to use our service name/ip address in the GUI (our “virtual” servers’ hostnames) though.
