Starting the DECwindows Motif Interface

To use the DECwindows Motif interface, you do not need to install Accounting Chargeback or have it running on a workstation. You run the software from a remote node or cluster.

To start the DECwindows Motif interface

1. Modify the workstation security to allow access by the remote node. Use the Customize menu from the Session Manager window.
2. Set host to the node or cluster where Accounting Chargeback is installed.
3. Enter this command:

   $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=MYNODE
   

   MYNODE represents the node name of the workstation.

   Enter the following command:

   $ ADVISE CHARGE_BACK REPORT/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS
   

   The Accounting Chargeback DECwindows Motif interface displays the main window, enabling you to select the task you want to perform.

   

The menus in the Accounting Chargeback main window enable you to do the following:

• Invoke Accounting Chargeback or terminate the interface
• Specify accounting data, disk use, and price files
• Select the time period and report details
• Create or edit the price file
