IBM HPSS manual Gui Adm

Changes since 4.5	Server	GUI	ADM
The SSM client scripts now use an internal polling mechanism for		n	n
getting window updates (as opposed to being notified of the update
by the server). This means that:
• The SSM client application no longer requires a second
port for two-way communication,
• The rate of polling can be fine-tuned by the user (see
the -A, -G, -L -M, -W options).
The scripts are dependent upon a login.conf file and, if using		n	n
Kerberos authentication, a krb5.conf file. Both files are created by
hpssuser. The scripts will look in the current working directory for
these files unless they are specified on the command line (-C and -
k options).
It is no longer necessary to add a security provider entry to the java		n	n
system java.security file.
The pathname to the java executable can be specified by using the		n	n
-j option. If this option isn't specified, then the script will use the
java executable in $JAVA_BIN if it is valid. If $JAVA_BIN/java
is not defined, then the script will use 'java' which will use the
client's $PATH.
Effective with HPSS 5.1.1, the hpssgui script supports customizing		n
the user's background color or Look & Feel using the -b, -F and -T
options.
The SSM user can specify the number of alarms to display on the		n	n
alarm list using the -N option.
The SSM user can specify the pathname to the hpss.jar using the -P		n	n
option.
The SSM user can specify the path to search for application		n	n
preferences using the -i option. This path is now local to the SSM
client machine; preferences are no longer stored on the SSM server
machine.
Sites that are converting from a previous release of HPSS should replace		n	n
all their hpssgui and hpssadm startup scripts on all client platforms with
the new versions.
In HPSS 6.2, ssh tunneling communications between the SSM client and	n	n	n
server is supported.
The SSM clients can contact the System Manager across a Virtual Private	n	n	n
Network connection (VPN). See the -p and -h options on the hpssgui and
hpssadm man pages.
