UNIX User Setup


For each UNIX user the following setups should be made.

Source Files

The installation provides a file which is suitable to be "sourced" at login, when the user's .cshrc or .profile file is executed. This source file will make the following environment variables visible in the terminal shell:

telelogic
telelogicbin
sdtrelease
sdtdir
sdtbin
itexrelease
itexlib
itexaccess
itexaccessroot
itexaccesscompiler

These environment variables are useful as they can easily be used as pointers into the installation, without knowing were the installation is placed in the file system.

Note:

You do not need to set these variables to be able to run the SDL Suite or the TTCN Suite, except if you want to run a generated SDL Simulator or SDL Explorer stand-alone, that is, run from the UNIX prompt without the graphical user interface.

To read the source file (/appl/telelogic is assumed to be the installation directory for SDL Suite and TTCN Suite):

If you run Type

C shell-compatible shell (e.g. csh or tcsh)

source /appl/telelogic/bin/telelogic.sou

Bourne shell-compatible shell (e.g. sh, ksh, zsh or bash)

. /appl/telelogic/bin/telelogic.profile

Path and Display Variables

For each user, the bin directory should be contained in the list of directories defined by the PATH environment variable:

set path = ( $path $telelogic/bin )

This should be done in the shell startup files, as described above.

In the case the computers on which you run the X Windows server and the client (SDL Suite and TTCN Suite) coincide, the environment variable DISPLAY should be set to unix:0.0 before starting SDL Suite and TTCN Suite. Do not use the notation hostname:0.0
