Yes. You can use Tarantella to access X or character applications on a VMS application server.
To be able to run VMS applications, you must change the
Login Script used by
the X or character application object to either vms.exp
or
vmsrexec.exp
. The script you use depends on the
Connection Method for the application.
By default, the vms.exp
or vmsrexec.exp
login scripts
set the transport variable to TCPIP
, which is correct for Digital TCP/IP stacks (including UCX).
If you need to change this variable, you can edit the scripts in the
install_dir/var/serverresources/expect
directory.
To use VMS X applications, you must also disable X security on the Security properties panel in Array Manager or by running:
tarantella config edit --security-xsecurity 0This is because VMS does not support X security.
