About ViewNow X Server

ViewNow X Server software allows you to run network-based UNIX programs (known as X Client programs) side-by-side with Windows applications on your machine. You can share programs and computing resources with the host computers connected to your machine over a network.

X Server consists of the following program groups:

X Windows
Tools within the X Windows program group allow you to manage X Windows fonts, X Windows keyboards, run remote commands and work in the X Control Panel to manipulate X Clients and X Servers.
X Control Panel
The X Control Panel provides a central location for performing the following tasks:
  • Setting up unique workspaces that contain X Clients to run on your machine
  • Starting X Clients and X Servers
  • Importing X Workspaces from a centrally managed network location
  • Customizing an X Server or X Client by modifying configuration options
  • Launching X Windows utilities
  • Adding new utilities or applications to the launch menu
  • Accessing online resources

To open the X Control Panel, from the Windows Start menu, select:

All Programs > Micro Focus ViewNow > X Windows > Micro Focus ViewNow X Server 9.6.4 Control Panel

Diagnostic tools
ViewNow X Server also includes X Log File Browser, X Performance Tuner, and X Protocol Trace. These diagnostic tools help you diagnose problems and monitor, audit, and report user access and network performance.

Most of the product programs are accessible from the Micro Focus ViewNow folder on the Windows Start menu.
