Starting the X Server 
Use
On Microsoft Windows, the MaxDB installation program registers the X Server as the service XServer, sets the Startup Type for this service to Automatic and starts the service. You do not have to start this manually.
On UNIX/Linux, the X Server is not automatically installed as a service. You can either enter the X Server in the appropriate start scripts for the operating system or start it manually when required. After startup, the X Server runs in the background as the process vserver. When starting the X Server, a special process for supporting the SAP NI network protocol is started.
Procedure
x_server [<options>] [start]
Options for Calling the X Server
<option> |
Explanation |
-D <debugging_level> |
Defines the debugging level. You can specify values from 0 (no debugging information is written) to 9 (maximum debugging information). The default value is 0. |
-F |
If you set this option, the X Server does not determine the computer name of the application logging on to the DNS server (no reverse DNS lookup). If it is taking a long time to connect to a remote database instance, you should restart the X Server with this option. This will tell you whether the DNS server is responsible for the slow connection. |
-S <port> |
For UNIX/Linux only: assigns a different port <port> to the X Server. The X server uses port 7210 as default. See Ports and Protocols of the X Server |
-V |
Displays the version of the X Server. |
-w |
Only for UNIX/Linux, only in SAP systems Restricts the command to the SAP NISSL connection |
-W |
Only for UNIX/Linux, only in SAP systems Suppresses automatic usage of SAP NISSL |
-y |
Only for UNIX/Linux, only in SAP systems Restricts the command to the SAP NI connection |
-Y |
