Procedure for Opening a Command Prompt

• From a Windows DPX node, click Start, click All Programs, then select the product folder, then choose Command Prompt. This sets some important environment variables. Note that users of Windows 2008 R2 and later must open the Command Prompt window with Run as Administrator, even if logged in as Administrator.

• From a Linux DPX node, set up the correct environment:

  • Bring up a terminal window, log in as root, and navigate to the bin directory under the main DPX installation directory.

  • Enter: . ./bexenv

  • Set the DISPLAY environment variable appropriately for your output device, if not already done.

Warning! Files bexenv and bexads may be overwritten during upgrades. Users can add custom environment variable settings to the bexenv.conf and bexads.conf files using a text editor. The bexenv and bexenv.conf files are contained in the /opt/DPX/bin/ directory and the bexads and bexads.conf files are stored in the /opt/DPX/misc directory. These files will retain user added settings even after an upgrade.
