Unix / Linux Server Configuration

Unix / Linux Server configuration procedure.

To install the application on a Unix / Linux server:

  1. Install the application on the server, making sure the diffFiles.sh and diffDirs.sh script is executable and the installation directory is in the PATH of the users that need to use the editor.
  2. Create a file called diffFiles.vmoptions and diffDirs.vmoptions in the Oxygen XML Diff install folder where the diffFiles4.0 file is located.

    File's content must be: -Xmx256m -Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true

    The "-Xmx" value represents the maximum memory allocated for each application instance. Please make sure you tune it such that the multiple application instances will not use all the available physical memory.

  3. Make sure the X server processes located on the workstations allow connections from the server host. For this use the xhost command.
  4. Telnet (or ssh) on the server host.
  5. Start an xterm process, with display parameter set on the current workstation. Ex: xterm -display workstationip:0.0
  6. Start the application by typing diffFiles.sh or diffDirs.sh
